As I’ve said many times before, while the Ys series doesn’t have the grand fanbase that most other JRPGs have, the games have stood the test of time and continue to grow in popularity. Which is why myself and other fans of the series were excited to hear that a new Ys game was being built from the ground up to become Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana. At Anime Expo 2017 this past weekend, a new English trailer was released, showing off new mechanics and a new cast of adventures helping Aldo discovering the mysteries of the isle that they have marooned on:
Ys VIII Lacrimosa of Dana is set for a September 12, 2017 release on PS4, Vita and PC via Steam.
