I've been hearing horror stories about the Switch translation from NISA. I have no idea how they can screw up a game that has already been translated but apparently they did.

Ys XIII isn't for Switch, most likely a PS6 title. Ys VIII isn't available for Xbox either.
The Switch port is releasing at a less crowded time -> It's absolutely crowded : Mario Tennis, Minecraft, Crash, Wolfenstein, Octopath, Toad... Lots of Switch games coming just before and after.
The Switch dominates Japan, and a this is a portable upgrade from Vita -> The Switch doesn't dominate in the 3rd party sector. Switch ports generally sell a tiny percentage compared to PS4/Vita versions. God Wars and Blazeblue CTB are recent proof of that. Ys VIII Switch is not in COMG so there's a high probability that it will underperform significantly. The game is 2-year old on PSVita so most people could get it for a reduced price, including PSN sales in Japan.
Conclusion : Ys VIII Switch will definitely outsell the non-existing Xbox version, but will be far from the PS versions.

It's gotten more publicity than any of non-Disgaea title from NISA. Literally can't expect more than they've done.
I think it'll do ok. There's not a single good Action RPG on the console, so I would hope that fans pick it up.

Ys VIII* Has there been any word that this is coming out on Xbox?? Thank you for reminding me this is coming out on Switch soon. Something else to help kill the time until Octopath Traveler. |
Don't count on it. Falcom is a deeply rooted Japanese company. They aim their games at the japanese market and then those versions get localised. Not sure they ever released a single game on Xbox.
don't really see this happen, don't think people will buy an old game for the full price
What are the sales?
Looks really good. And as Rol said, the localisation is perfectly fine
due to hardly anyone even knowing about it due to zero advertisement, id say its a big no

What is up with all the shimmering/flickering of textures/shadows in the video? pretty sure the PS4 version doesnt do that.
What causes it? is it like bad implimentation of AA or something?
