3 steps for making someone want to play an Ys game

[Wyrdwad]

I like pretty much every song that has been listed so far but just to add something that seems to get looked over often and isn't hardcore rock. Its also pretty much one of my favorite tracks in the series. I particularly like the part that starts from 1:07 and on.

That's definitely one of my favorites from Ys VI. I also love Ruins of Amnesia:



Which I always associate with Water Prison from Ys Origin for some reason... I guess because they're both soft and melodic, but driven by a really addictive and pretty much nonstop line of percussion:



Either way, both tracks are freaking awesome, and perfectly exemplify Falcom Sound Team's diversity.

...As does pretty much any town theme from any Falcom game. Like, literally ANY.

Quatera Woods is also a nice Napishtim zone track. One of my favorites from Napi.

[conurebleu]

Yeah! I still listen to that one!

exam incoming....have to go good bye ^^

Ohhh Water Prison, I should have mentioned that one, its also one of my favorite not hardcore rock ones. One of those themes that I listen to whenever I am doing homework lol.

On a more on-topic note, something I did to get my friend to Ys was talk about how awesome Adol was and about Dogi's wallcrushing scenes. He really fell in love with Adol after playing Ys Seven, so much that when I had him try Origin on my computer, he couldn't get into it because no Adol (though I think it was because he decided to start with Hugo and his gameplay is kinda...bland and unfun..). Why must he always start with the coolest looking character rather than what the game suggest you start with =/

I couldn't get him to try Yunica either cuz to girly. It was upsetting.

Isn't Hugo recommended for novices?

Yunica wields and axe in close combat. I'd say she's more manly than the magic Fact guy.

[Kirbs]

Yeah but Yunica is the first thing you see and the one that is implied to have Adol-like gameplay. In fact I even told him that just incase "Start with Yunica she has the gameplay most similar to Oath in Felghana Adol" but nope.

[Wyrdwad]

I bet he'd have liked it better if he were able to start as The Claw. That's the best of both worlds.

[Chelli]

Here's another of my favorites that's not all "RAH IN YOUR FACE HARD ROCK RAH!"

[Kirbs]

I bet he'd have liked it better if he were able to start as The Claw. That's the best of both worlds.

-Tom

I almost certain he would have Tom. But alas....

I hope he likes Oath in Felghana once I get him to buy it...

It has Adol and Dogi so he can't complain. For whatever reason he fell in love with them both and Geis after playing Seven.

Story-wise I'd say it is the better to start with Yunica too.
