At TGS 2019, Shaun tried Ys VIII Mobile. Ys VIII Mobile is a mobile conversion of Nihon Falcom’s amazing action RPG Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana. Ys VIII Mobile was announced a while ago and it was even revealed to be getting a worldwide release. At TGS 2020, Linekong Entertainment showed off extended footage for Ys VIII Mobile giving us a look at how locations from the original game appear in the mobile conversion, character models, and more. Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana is one of my favourite games ever and I’ve played it on every system. The live stream below has a trailer at 12:40, locations in Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana and character models at 33:46, footage of Rucol who is a new character from 42:03 onwards. A lot of the visuals have been changed with higher quality effects but the character model lighting seems a bit weird as of now. Hopefully it can improve ahead of the launch. Watch it below:
As of now Linekong Entertainment haven’t announced a release date. It was previously set for a worldwide release in 2020. That hasn’t changed with TGS 2020. It still doesn’t have a confirmed release date. Ever since Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana was released internationally through NIS America, it has only grown the Falcom fanbase with new platforms like the Nintendo Switch and a PC port that went from being a terrible way to play Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana to the best version of the game. I’m curious to see how Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana is...
