XD Actually... just timeline-wise, wouldn't Dana's parts take place long, LONG before Ys Origin? Since the game explicitly said that humans only came along after the Eternians were long gone. And that would make Toal a mini-Dana. xD

That should be the line she says whenever she transforms into it. XD Oh yeah, 100%! ^^ I see! I haven't played it yet, so I can't comment, but the BGM thing is definitely accurate! xD The BGM for Dana's section is one of my favorite area themes in the game, after all! Really only Iclucian Dance is one I like a bit more... and that's associated with Dana, too! xD

Beautiful! ^^

I see! Yeah, that makes sense, considering Gratika Style is what you have to use the most (or at least it felt that way when I fought Io). I THINK I am semi-decent with Gratika Style? I know characters in Warriors games that play similarly to her (as in, they are slow, but strong), also Arnice in Nights of Azure when you switch to the Hammer form of her weapon, so I'm somewhat used to that kind of playstyle, but it is definitely the form I am the worst with, as well, compared to normal and especially Luminous Style. ^^

Hoo boy! xD I want to at the very least attempt one with Dana, because she's by far my favorite character in this game, both personality and playstyle-wise (now more than ever, because it is entirely thanks to her that I got through that raid mission earlier). Oof. Alright, I see! Then that might be a challenge worth undertaking for Normal, at least (which is what I played the game on). Then again... Melaiduma, Mephorash, and the four Psyche bosses preceding Theos de Endrogram... solo? Oh boy. xD The boss rush for the Eternian bosses will be amazing, though, probably! Those were some of the most fun ones! Especially Io!

@Shrimperor I saw that you can potentially do solo boss rushes with every character. How feasible are those in Ys VIII?

Oh! I see! My bad, I'm not all too familiar with Metroid lore, haha ^^

I see! So we got Ruben, who is Ruben. Reuben, who is a giant anime fan. And Rooben, who is an imbecile. Gotcha! We'd have a real problem when Rooben-Y showed up, too! Indeed!

Another alter ego? xD Reminds me of this: (Note: the character who says this is currently off-screen... as she has run away)

Hmm... What to put alongside Giasburn? Hmmm...

That's probably what I will be doing, too. xD

Damnit. I like that Ys VIII gave me all the ending CGs, so now I have them saved on my PC, to use for desktop backgrounds and such. That's another minus point for Ys 9! ^^

NOOOOO! I love it when games have these! Why doesn't it have one? You may see it in my sig in the not-so-distant future. XD

Also, I had a look in the gallery just now. And holy HELL this picture is amazing: They are TRYING to give me signature material, aren't they? xD

Also, one more comment about Ys 8 that I have to make. Now that I've fought both final bosses twice, I have to say, I actually really like the battle theme for the first one. This one, to be exact. Sure, it may not be as 'epic' as some other final battle themes, but to me, this fits the context of the overall story leading up to this point absolutely perfectly. It's just like how, in a vacuum, Sayonara - Kami Musubi, the theme for the first phase of the final boss of Blue Reflection, does not sound like a final boss theme at all. But put it into the context of everything the game was and is up until that point, and the theme suddenly becomes wonderfully fitting (that song from Blue Reflection is absolutely beautiful, too, which helps, but still).

Thank you! ^^

And now I literally only need to play through the game one more time on Nightmare difficulty and get the true ending, and then that will be my next 100% achievements. But I think I'mma move on to a different game first!

Very, VERY high tier final boss music right here.

Thanks! ^^

Yeah, definitely! I just felt like I was doing really, really badly. xD

Alright, so now all that is left is get the last entry into the People section, which requires me to beat the final boss(es) again, and then beat the game again, with the True Ending... on Nightmare... oh god. XD

Fuuuuckin' HELL, I did it! Holy moly, that was... a thing, certainly. XD AND I S-RANKED IT?!? LITERALLY HOW?!? XD

XD Not really, but I got that chaos!

Yup! xD Also, now a boss from the dungeon in Dana's part of the game showed up. Three times. On top of those three other guys. On top of dinosaurs. On top of super beefy zombie pirates. Oh. My. God! Yyyyyup! xD

@Shrimperor Remember Ys 8's bonus boss in Silent Tower? And how super hard he is? Well... the final final raid in the game has you fight not one, but THREE of that guy. I mean... I'm holding out, but... holy hell!
