Elieson Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 (edited) That's the deal, folks. In this hip, cool and positively fly thread, you get two Let's Plays for the price of one! Join Elieson (that's me) and that other guy, Jedi (that's not me), as we struggle to play this totally decent and well-worth-the-time SNES-style tower climb JBeat 'Em Up with style, grace, and a passable amount of attitude. Here's the quick and easy rundown, if you wanna follow our playthroughs but don't quite know what the game is. What kind of game is Ys Origins? Well buckaroo, it's a JRPG Beat Em Up on Steam, that plays like a Playstation-era hack n' slash. Run around, smackity smacking things up with your magic spells or battle axe, use skills to blow things up faster, and do some puzzle solving and gear upgrading while you're at it. The pace of the game is relatively quick, and the bosses of the game are a rare challenge for even experienced gamers. It's got pretty standard SFX, but the music is a real treat. If anything, this is one of those games that you should definitely try, if you enjoy the genre to some degree. It doesn't require immense skill, and doesn't have a super steep learning curve. Why are you both playing it? I'm playing Yunica's story, and Jedi's playing Hugo's story. The game lets you start with one of two characters, and you unlock more as you beat the game. We'll worry about them later, but each character has a unique enough story to warrant their own playthrough. Jedi and I kinda wanted to do a collaborative effort, and this game's been on my backlog for years. Blazer actually gave me the game as a gift, and I promised him I'd do a Let's Play of it, to show my appreciation for him buying me this game. Talk about late, but I'm finally doing it. Jedi's on his way to become a Pokémon Streaming Master, so this'll be good for his reception, and just be overall fun for the both of us. There's a bunch of difficulties. What are you guys doing? For the sake of simplicity, we're both doing Normal, which is effectively the 3/5 star difficulty. What's special about your runs then? I'm playing blindly, and Jedi's playing through after knowing pretty well what the game has to offer. He beat it once, I'm sure of that. Probably more times...who knows! Ask him! He's the whiz here! [insert Other Question Here]. Just ask it!

Jedi Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 (edited) The Third story will likely be done eventually as well, but how it'll be coming about is a mystery to even us right now. Here are our first parts. The First Part of Elies playthrough is here First part of mine is here, video quality is a little choppy at times, and part 3 will have less choppy and better audio balance.

Refa Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Do you guys have any plans for the third character? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Do you guys have any plans for the third character? Right now i'm running through his story on my own time. Prepping for potentially doing it myself, but aside from that I'm not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balcerzak Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Part of me wants you guys to "win" the encounters you're scripted to lose. The rational part of me doesn't want to force you to be total masochists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that plan too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that plan too Only 1 in each of our stories from what I recall! But I won't say where. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elieson Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 But I won't say where. If you won't say where, then I'll just beat them all and not even know which it was! Behold, as Jedi opens doors and disarms traps with ease, while I disarm them with my face! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Also this video of mine will be the last with this poor choppy quality, part 3 on has much more consistency etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balcerzak Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 When's part 3? Now that the holidays are over, I've got some more time, and I'd love to fill it by watching you guys continue up the tower! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedi Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Finally my parts have gotten to the part where they aren't choppy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Alear Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 The third character has the easiest run because he doesn't have to fight a certain boss around floor 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elieson Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 After attempting to reinstall the game multiple times due to crashes keeping me from progressing past the next boss, I've done a bit of PC tune-up stuff and reinstalled the game & Steam (which I get the game through). I'm testing this out tomorrow, and if it works, then the adventure continues! Also, Jedi and I will begin tackling the two side-by-side routes of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist of the Roses in the coming days, so keep an eye out for that, as my PS2 doesn't seem to crap out on me nearly as often as Ys origins!
