Ys returns with a brand new adventure for the first time in 8 years! Adol awakens shipwrecked and stranded on a cursed island. There, he and the other shipwrecked passengers he rescues form a village to challenge fearsome beasts and mysterious ruins on the isolated island. Amidst this, Adol begins to dream of a mysterious blue-haired maiden living in an unknown world. Join Adol as he unravels the riddle of the cursed isle and the blue-haired maiden Dana in Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA!
An Epic Tale - Follow Adol on his latest adventure and uncover the mysteries of the cursed island.
Party On! – Change your playable character on-the-fly as you battle ferocious foes in lightning-fast combat.
Another Side – Unravel the mystery of the blue-haired maiden Dana through her unique gameplay sections.
It Takes a Village! – Rescue your fellow shipwrecked passengers and bring them to your village where they will provide valuable services.
I really can't say anything bad about this game, at least outside the ending. It is a very solid action RPG and a great place for the modern gamer to get their first taste of Adol's adventures. If you've been looking into trying out the Ys games, enjoy. If you, like me, have spent a lot of time with Adol, its still a great game and even adds some extra variety compared to what most of the series has offered so far. Either way, enjoy yourself. You are in for a good time.
The character limit is way too low for my review, it can be read at the following link.

I got this game so much time after its initial release mostly because I heard it had tons of optimization problems which slowly got fixed. On PS4 the game now runs perfectly without problems.
Ys 8 breaks nearily all the standards the series had. To start with this is the first Ys to have a story of equal worth with the more famous RPGs in terms of telling. There is story no matter where you go and everything is interconnected even if not immediately. The characters have place in the plot, their actions means new elements to the story with the sole exceptions of Nia who's a bit out of place.
The gameplay is just awesome. Large maps with a lot of freedom in movement, well placed enemies and object without feeling any place empty or stuffed. The fighting is similar to that of in Memories of Celceta but with less abusable flash guard and evade. Skills are pretty generic and maybe some are less generally usable as other but overall you're free to pick the one you like the most without worrying too much about effectiveness.
Exploring is fun, there is so much diversity even on the same map. There is however minimal indication how can you reach certain places sometimes feeling like just a bug (especially jump puzzles where you miss only a pixel or two, not knowing you actually need double jump later). This is like this in the new Ys games though so I don't complain.
For closing let me return to the story for a bit. I really enjoyed it. I found the emotional and moral handing exceptional. There is no forced sad moments nor questions about good and evil relations. The game let you experience the passing in such an art-like environment it feel natural. Not crying after the deaths but instead feel like having an era completed filled with precious memories, having an important legacy. The character of Dana had a large impact on me. I dare to say she is the best character the series ever had, one of the best a game ever featured. Bested Ys Seven's ending if you ask me.
While a relatively modest and old game, Lacrimosa of Dana built up into a classic of mine that I will forever remember fondly. While it starts off rough, with an opening scene reminding me of bland PS2 games and an eyeroll inducing anime moment when recruiting Laxia, the fun action fights and great soundtrack kept me playing until the story picked up.
The story is truly the stellar aspect of this game. Unraveling the mystery of the island is thrilling, and the characters are fun and interesting. The game is about Dana, and rightfully so. She is fun, and you get attached to her pretty strongly, leading to an ending that I still cry over a bit. The camp and people you meet there also grow with you, a big family-by-circumstances.
This final version of the game, with all the DLC and adds, is really well paced. You have many ways of acquiring items, either by gathering, or fighting in diverse special game modes that break up the pace and renews your interest. A certain dungeon, I later learned was added DLC, and yet the story it provides and how it expands the lore of the mystery of Seiren clicks into place like it was always meant to be there.
It is not a polished, triple A modern game, but if you like action RPGs and good stories, I'd wager you will like this one. It has been circulating among our friends and family, as we fall in love with it one by one and convince them to try it out.
I played the Switch version, so I can't comment on how stable the PC version is, but it's certainly a bit prettier and more fluid than I experienced.
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
