Description
Red-haired adventurer extraordinaire Adol Christin has finally reunited with his best pal, Dogi, and is eager to begin a new adventure in Afroca. It seems fate has other plans, however, as a pirate captain named Ladoc catches up with him during a brief stopover in the port city of Ediz, and presents him with an offer he simply can’t refuse.

Ladoc, it happens, is the father of an old acquaintance from one of Adol’s previous adventures, and he wishes to solicit Adol’s expertise in exploring the mysterious western islands of Canaan. There, a phenomenon similar to the Stormwall from Adol’s first ever quest in Esteria is occurring, completely cutting off all trade and communication both in and out. The land is thus completely uncharted, and may hold treasures of heretofore unseen value.

Never ones to back away from a good mystery, Adol and Dogi both agree to join Ladoc and his daughter, Terra, on this expedition aboard their ship, the “Tres Mares.” It seems the Romuns have their sights set on Canaan as well, however, and they’re none too keen on a ragtag group of pirates and adventurers getting in their way. When the Tres Mares is inevitably attacked at sea, Adol is knocked overboard and left for dead.

He washes ashore in Canaan itself, alive but weakened, rescued and resuscitated by two young girls named Isha and Olha who sport long ears and bushy tails. They are of the native “Rehda” tribe, and it seems Adol is not the first human to arrive here—nor are humans particularly welcome...
  • As a special bonus, Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim includes an optional download of the Ys VI Material Collection, a digital art collection featuring original illustrations and concept sketches from the development of the game.
  • The fast, real-time combat Ys is known for gets a new twist: three swords that control differently and house unique magical abilities which factor into all battle combos.
  • Set to quintessentially Ys rock music composed by the legendary Falcom Sound Team jdk, giant monstrosities fill the screen and use clever tactics to try and end Adol’s quest!
  • Adjustable high-rez graphics, gamepad support, added warping among checkpoints, and a new “Catastrophe Mode” where healing items can’t be purchased or stored, combine for the best Ys VI yet.

Excellent game but no english dub

I my opinion the best YS game to date, primarily because of the setting and the characters. I just can't get my head around the fact that no one can release a definitive version of this game. What GOG's version lacks is the excellent english dub that Konami made for the PS2 version. The game is still excellent of course but if I could make a wish it would be that GOG would find a way to include the english dub into this package as well.

Good, but not as good as the others

Ys 6 is definitely fun, but I find it weaker than the other ones I recently played (Ys: Origins, Ys I and II, The Oath in Felghana). It is shorter and much easier than the other ones, the story is somewhat too simple, the soundtrack is not as good as it normally is with Ys games and I found myself looking at walkthroughs a bit too often to get important items. I still recommend it if you are a JRPG and Ys fan.

Pretty mid

Decent game tarnished by mandatory grind and bad boss designs.

Grind

No wonder I'm stuck. It's all about the grind but right here it's to the point artificial game time is added. Such a shame since it could be a game with no-go zones until a level or 2 in another dungeon or zone and leveling was way faster.

Its annoying

I actually did play this game but not on this account. this game has almost no story this dungeons and bosses are shit. also, no matter how much I try I cannot find how to dash jump. move in the direction, then press and hold attack, then press jump and let go. no matter how much I try it does not work (I can dash jump but I just press Z and X at the same time and hope for the best.
