Ys X Nordics Reveals New Character & Gameplay Screenshots

Developer Nihon Falcom has recently updated the official website of their upcoming action JRPG Ys X Nordics, depicting elements and characters we provided extensive coverage for yesterday.

In particular, the five newly introduced characters, Úlvar, Momina Yvelise, Romes Carpent, Joel Asrad, Ashley, and the highlighted gameplay systems, the Runestones, fishing, and Sandras ship functions, are presented here.

You can view the new Ys X Nordics screenshots via our gallery below, originating from PlayStation Blog:

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.

Unused Ys Seven concepts are being utilized in this outing, too. Ys X Nordics will allow players considerable explorative freedom, enabling naval travel with a recruitable crew and ship combat.
