Co-op?

Will this game have co-op also?

[Kurosu]

You mean the local co op ? AFAIK there is no such feature in the Playstation version at least.

Memories of Celceta also did I think. In any case there is nothing confirmed at the moment but I am sure you can find a definite answer on release.

ys viii had coop? amazing

Ys games never have co-op in the first place, it is pure single-player, including Memories of Celceta, VIII, and IX.

The co-op thing for VIII you saw or heard was actually like a mod from Durante's team, thus explains why it is still in experimental phase, meaning it works but not perfect and odd things can happen.

For anyone who's hoping for similar thing in Ys IX, here is DuranteA response:

Ys 9 was a more difficult port than initially expected, with a ton of work required to get it to a state that I am happy to release, so I had no time to work on optional nice-to-haves like coop so far, sadly.

I still plan to do this whenever I have time, but no promises -- and when it happens it will almost certainly be post-launch.

I really hope they will add co-op like in YS 8

Melon gave you a solid answer, it came straight from Durante. Give it time, it will happen, eventually.

Yeah, to make it official here: there is no co-op feature in Ys IX currently, and I can't promise one.

I really do want one, since I'm a huge fan of playing these types of games in co-op, and I hope I can make it happen at some point in the future.

I have the previous one just for the coop, what other Ys games support coop?

So far only VIII, older games are handled by XSEED team and they don't have any co-op mod like feature.

Well there is still much stuffs to do, like... 4 upcoming Trails games lol.

Wow, Durante himself chimes in.
I still remember Durante's rather harsh criticism of previous Ys games PC ports, and releasing of unofficial patches and/or mods to fix their problems.
It really is great that he got picked up by the dev team to help with the official ports, quality's really gone up since then!
