Falcom ha condiviso nuove immagini e dettagli per quanto riguarda Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana, il nuovo capitolo della serie per PlayStation 4 e PlayStation Vita che attualmente è previsto solo in Giappone dove sarà disponibile nel corso di quest’anno:
■ Skill Attacks: Swoop the Enemy with Powerful Skills!
Each character has a fixed amount of Skill Points, which can be used to actiave unique skill attacks.
Skill attacks are activated by pushing the skill button + the Circle, X, Triangle, or Square buttons. Each button is tied to a different skill. Skills can be set to the Circle, X, Triangle, and Square buttons in the menu screen.
Adol’s Exclusive Skill: Force Edge
Adol’s exclusive skill creates an aura with his sword blade, and collectively mows down the surrounding enemies. It’s an easy to use skill with a wide attack range, and doesn’t take long to perform.
Laxia’s Exclusive Skill: Slyphide Kiss
Laxia’s exclusive skill sees her point her rapier to the sky, from which a tornado converges. It is particularly effective against flying enemies, and can deal consecutive damage by hitting the enemy in multiple stages.
Sahad’s Exclusive Skill: Seine
Sahad’s exclusive skill sees him throw a fishing net to the area in front of him, and damages all the enemies that become entangled in its ropes.
Dana’s Exclusive Skill: Ice Edge
Dana’s Exclusive skill sees her jump to the sky, and all at once strikes the ground with compressed waves of cold. It is a powerful skill that deals great damage to a wide range of enemies.
■ Flash Guard: Turn a Perfect Defense into a Critical Attack!
By pressing a button with proper timing in accordance with the enemy’s attack, “Flash Guard” will be triggered.
When activated, the player character’s body will glow white with the attack, and all of the enemy’s attacks will have no effect.
Additionally, for a certain period of time after it is activated, since it makes all of the player’s attacks critical ones, you can deal great damage to the enemy via consecutive attacks and skill attacks.
■ Flash Move: Extreme Evasion Around the Battlefield!
If you perform an evasion action just before an enemy attack hits, “Flash Move” will be triggered, and the player character’s offshoot will be displayed on screen.
The trigger time only lasts for a certain period, and with the exception of the player, slow-motions the enemies’ movements. By dodging an enemy’s big technique with a Flash Move, you can gain distance, move around to to the enemy’s back, and turn the battle in your favor.
Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana non è stato ancora annunciato per l’Europa.
