Carlan...WTF
They are in a survival situation.

He is arrogant, full of himself and does NOTHING but waste oxygen, food, energy and time.

WHY do they even care for that sorry excuse for a human being? Why do they not promptly kick him out and leave him to his own fate?? He contributes NOTHING, he endangers all of them with his behavior!

This is so frustrating FFS...

Yeah the devs did a really good job making the player hate Carlan, and they did this for a reason. I'm not saying more than that.

Don't worry he gets his comeuppance and quite early too.
What you have to worry about is "Dona" with her filler Dreams and cutscenes segments along with the Nun preaching to her precious Sky Wizard that waste a lot of time on top of the raids that always interupt your exploring.....
Broso May 13, 2018 @ 10:31am 
Yeah the nun isn't that helpful so far either, however at least she helps clearing away obstacles. Also I've passed that point where he dies now and personally I am glad it turned out like that. However the fact that they would even put up with him until that point completely boggles my mind. Not to mention that he got their only boat destroyed. At least now they know what awaits them if they try to get out to sea.

The Nun may become less useless from what i've seen but nothing compares to the "Dona" filler that also likes to crash the game with all the fade aways.....

Ya Carlan serves his purpose at least and rather early at that.
(his stupid actions may have saved others the same fate so he wasn't completely useless
but ya he could have at least helped with moveing stuff but then the game wouldn't be linear as hell when it comes to the order you can explore when lot's of the time a passage blocked is just to finish the last 10% of an area... another thing that holds this game back....)

Are you for real or is this just a really, really subtle troll? I honestly can't tell.

Dona doesnt have dreams related to her, so I assume your talking about Dana. The part of the story that revolves around her is not filler content.


Most of the castaways aren't useful at first. That's kind of the point tho. Your shipwrecked with all sorts of people, and most people are just going to be useless in a situation like that, outside of the help from society that they are used to having.
Still, most of them do try to be useful in some small, or big way. Carlan's a pretty bad character, but in the end he ends up being useful as well. (even if he's still a bad character)

Just like every "gamer" is an Otaku right?

Yes that ♥♥♥♥ is filler, it keeps interrupting the adventure for stupid Dana banter
(when the game already has huge amounts so people that don't value gameplay as much as "story" go "oh WOW stories!")
that the game could just as easily do without or have just 1 scene of that all condensed right before she is actually introduced to the game, where at 50% progress they could have left her out and not been crashing our games with all the pointless CONSTANT fade aways.
(Danas scenes tho they say "Dona" is EXACTLY like all those fade aways.. Pointless and Excessive)


Just cause you like anime slutts, consider yourself an Otaku and prob want to bang her doesn't make her not filler....
(they trying to build it up like she some amazing character all of us should care about despite not being Dogi Geis or Adol and add gameplay so we can't just skip the segments with her like that only 2 area first one, when that effort could have been put into adding Dogi and Geis fully playable and much more)


By the way i put clothes on your precious "Duana" so at least she doesn't look like an Etrian hooker in my game. (that was one thing i was able to fix at least)

if they going to add female characters they better be usefull like Sigroon and Mishera that aren't dressed like hookers and can dump arrows and magic as fast as you can pull the trigger.

a troll or a really really really stupid person. idk which :')

He obviously doesn't like Dana much. Let's just ignore him.

i know right he keeps posting crap like that assuming our identities which is a big no no in this day and age, that's kind of rude tho he might have a mental disability or something....

Or everyone else likes her too much.....
it's not that i don't like her, its just the constant FORCED stopping my exploring (gameplay) and crashing for literally nothing that goes along with her.
(if they didn't shoehorn her in all the time instead of Geis or Dogi and gave her some clothes i would prob like her more)

What do people like about her? the constant interruptions with slideshow levels of lazy cutscenes and crashes,
the fact that she has OP moves
or is it the Etrian hooker part???
(i can understand the second one i guess but then again those should be Adols moves)


What do you know one of you has weeble crap all over your profile....
if you like anime girls that's fine just keep it out of our games specially ones as good as Ys that don't need them. (don't need to japanimation and sexualize EVERYTHING)
There are plenty of other games to get your anime fix like the hundreds of anime girl dating sim slideshows on steam.

(guess i should have seen this coming with the reversable cover art for Ys 7 with all the anime girls taking a bath together...) So when did this weeble ♥♥♥♥ start in Ys?
Only noticed with 7's cover art.

Personally I couldn't care less about her outfit. I like Dana because a) I like her personality and I'm intruiged in her storyline, b) her skills are pretty good c) she has 3 different styles and I LOVE the third one

Well that's good at least you aren't blinded by her getup (i'm not so sure about the rest tho)
i don't either plus that was an easy fix and if they just added real alternate outfis it wouldn't even matter.
When does her storyline actually start???
Everything was just filler and she is a tree maiden plus there's a new queen so far....
(literally could have told me that in 2 sentances and of course i'm taking into consideration you have to go through it all again every new game+ playthrough...)
Her skills seem fun but why is she so OP compared to Adol did she have 7 games before this too?


Seriously she just some FF13 Tidal Wave or whatever her name is with 3 phase shifts.....
Well i guess i know the type of people that like her now are the same people that give Final Hallways a pass...

When does Adol get multiple Styles???
So what Adol get's NOTHING (the main character) but she get's all these extra abilities?
(or would that be a spoiler)


She better not replace Adol in the next game with all the special treatment she getting.
Also why the ♥♥♥♥ does that bich have my double jump ability??? Directly stealing from Adol.

You dont seem to realise he was talking about you, lol.

Your stupidity is really next level, and that's saying quite a lot considering what I've experienced on the internet (or irl) before.
I could write an entire page of commentary for almost every ''argument'' of yours, to explain just how stupid and thoughtless it is.


The amount of effort you put into hating core parts of this game is pretty amazing tbh. You seem to really go out of your way to find fault with the best aspects of the game.
Warrior of Right May 13, 2018 @ 5:19pm 
Called "Fighting Fire with Fire"

You could but you won't? Nice excuse.
What effort? like i said when all these huge cutscenes happen i can put on auto scroll and view the forum since they take up so much of the game, doesn't take that much effort to type up ♥♥♥♥ that effecting the gameplay constantly...
(so what's your excuse since typing out a paragraph apparently takes up so much time and effort when you enjoy the huge amount of cutscenes and aren't auto scrolling like i am?)

Maybe they should have put that much effort into Adol Dogi and Geis as well.
Come on man i'm your fellow "otaku" why would you talk so much of that guff to me!?

Thanks for the compliment, saying i'm next level, your "trolling" with the childish loling and emotes isn't so bad yourself. (can assure you your experience pales in comparison to mine
my BS detector is top of the line)


Wait so am i going to have to also put clothes on 2 more variants of her Etrian Hooker outfit???
(this conduct is highly unbefitting of a "Tree Maiden" there are kids that will be looking up to her and thinking dressing like a prostittute is "fine")
Broso May 13, 2018 @ 5:48pm 
Concerning Dana, I'm up to chapter 4 and yes the story is interesting and I think she's okay, however I really hate that those segments from the past are forced upon you like that. Like I was just exploring an area and barely made it to the end alive just trying to reach another crystal, BOOM Dana segment. Way to ♥♥♥♥ up my bearing on things. Really ♥♥♥♥ design choice in my opinion.
