Title: drawing maps and loving it.
Post by: NeoFreak on July 24, 2005, 06:33:47 PM: im playing Ys book 1&2 for the first time. im in the second half of the game, going through the devine area mines. its such a maze that i had to start drawing a map; really enjoying it so far.

also, does anyone else think that enviornment graphic detail and music are a shit load better in book 2?

I agree that the enviorment graphic detail is a bit better in Book II and I think I can safely say the music is a bit better too. The awesome thing is that since you're only at the devine mines, I can honestly say that the graphics and especially music get better the farther you go along. You know this seems to be a symptom for all Ys games.

Anyways, enjoy the game. It's one of my all time favorites (easily my favorite RPG of any kind). The end of the game is incredible.

Playing a game through without a walkthrough really helps you remember the game and you become much more expert in playing it. :)

Post by: NeoFreak on July 26, 2005, 02:44:17 AM: yeah, im going through without walkthroughs, im certain i will feel more acomplished at the end.

I havent even spoiled the story for myself by reading summaries, so i dont even know whats going to happen.
