Y's VIII Combat Trailer Preview

[Andromeda]

Falcom released recent a new trailer for Y's VIII: Lacrrimosa of Dana this time focusing on combat. Keeping with past games action oriented real-time combat party members like in previously released Y's game for the Vita Memories of Celceta will be out with the player on the field. Party members also appear to helping out more this time than the past game. But combat and travel are sped up significantly from Celceta judging from the video.

I'm very excited about this release! I saw the video the other day on siliconera and was very pleased with the way it was turning out. I can't wait until falcom puts out the soundtrack for the game so we can hear it's tunes.

I liked memories of celceta the only drawback for me is the last boss fight which was disappointingly easy. Hopefully this Ys will have a more exciting final boss fight.

EDIT: Speaking of Ys, it's anniversary is coming up next month, the series is about to become 29 years old!

The thing that surprised me the most was how fast the game was compared to Celceta. Given that I think I'll probably enjoy the game a lot more than Celceta. Traveling around the game was one of the more tedious aspects that really held me back from trying to complete more of the side content. And hopefully party members will actually be useful this time around.

Two things I disliked exploration wise from Celceta was that marsh-like place that made you move slower, and that touch puzzle maze near the end.
