Ys X Nordics Reveals New Field & Ship Combat Footage
Nihon Falcom and Dengeki recently hosted a live broadcast showcasing gameplay for the upcoming action JRPG Ys X Nordics. Ship combat and field gameplay are highlighted with in-game BGM and sound effects.
Ys X Nordics will occur between Ys II and Memories of Celceta, making it the new third canonical entry in Adol Christin’s adventure logs. The gameplay has undergone a significant shakeup, with there only being two playable characters this time around.
Special maneuvers can be unlocked via story scenes and exploration, allowing for environmental interaction. Further, in solo mode, the character you’re not controlling performs actions judged by their own discretion. Adol will be controlling a ship for combat and island hopping, too.
