...Huh. That's the 2nd time Pokken's been the trial in NA. I should know, the game finally went on sale for the first time ever in NA when it happened and I bought it then!

Are they running out of games or something...?

there's a whole bunch of games they could up up, so that's definitely not the case. this is just promotion for the world tournament

 

[Jahranimo]

Unlike last time, I WILL download it and see if I remember any Sceptile moves from my brief time with the Wii U version.

Plus I want those platinum points.

Good for Ys VIII, needs a lot more exposure.

 

[Comic Obsessed]

Ys VIII being on free trial is pretty surprising, especially considering that the Switch version is the best selling one. They really want to push the series further.

 

[Dekuman]

Is Ys VIII the first JRPG to go on NSO free trial? Very interesting to see a Falcom game get this kind of treatment considering their history

 

[Mandos]

Haven’t played Pokken since wiiu, I’ll fire it up

doubt it has anything to do with falcom. they have to work with NISA to make something like this happen.

I believe Disgaea 5 was the first one if you count it as that.

 

[Marce-chan]

Can I beat Ys VIII in 7 days??

Also it sucks it's the European version because my main account (the one that has NSO subscription) has eShop credits so I can't change the region. Gonna have to use the free 7 days of NSO on the other account lol.

It's a pity i won't be able to enjoy Ys VIII's free trial...

...because i already own the game it's pretty fun but still in my backlog, gotta try and finish it

I wouldn't be mad if they were running out of games so they can put Damon X Machina on free trial again so I can finally play that game.

Also there's plenty of hidden gems that can come like the No More Heroes games, any of the Nintendo Musous, Bayonetta, etc.

Nah we've had DQ Builders 2 and Disgaea 5 before

But everyone should give Ys 8 a try if they're interested in JRPGs. Phenomenal game

 

[Lovecatt]

pls just make a pokken 2

 

[Bokuringo]

A Falcom game on NSO free trial is certainly a turn-around for the Falcom-Nintendo relationship.

If you are not a completionist , totally doable (IRC it's about 30-40 hours for a casual gameplay)

And The World End with You: Final Remix.

 

[Deleted member 2258]

I wonder if it would carry over my data from Pokken's last free trial or start fresh.

NISA handles these so Falcom doesn't have much to say. the switch version isn't even published by Falcom in japan

 

[Appelsider]

Ys VIII ys very good /badum tss

ill see myself out

Thanks!! I'm already downloading it!! Will play it a lot and try to finish the story.

I used one of my accounts and changed it to Portugal to download the game. Anybody knows if I can use the American profile that has the NSO subscription to open it or will I have to use the 7 day free trial of another profile with European region?

Falcom is doing stuff like Nayuta on switch and while their more power-focused games will definitely stick to PS4/5 for as long as they can, I don't think they'll be able to ignore Switch completely and hopefully they'll at least work to do more day and date ports of stuff, or original experiences for the system. Can't say I blame them for how Ys V really, really soured them on Nintendo, even though the game is excellent and I'd love a remake.

Still mixed on the Ys 8 Switch port as it's smack dab in the middle of them quality wise. You have the original Vita version that's ambitious but runs like shit, the Switch version which runs at an OK 30 and better than vita, but includes the PS4 content and difficulty mode that definitely does not feel optimized for the lower framerate, the PS4 version which is 4K60FPS, and the PC version which added co-op and got a massive rehaul after being the absolute worse version originally.

Really if you don't mind avoiding Inferno Difficulty then the game is still fine enough and a must play either way

Ys VIII is legit great, give it a try if you like action RPGs!
