Ys Seven on PC
 

Please someone who played this on whatever Nintendo garbage 30 years ago tell me if this is a platformer. Because if it isn't, I might still buy it.

It was not released 30 years ago. There are probably videos on that products.

There are videos, yes - on garbageware and not on PC.

I do not want to waste my precious time on turning into an amoeba by watcing crap videos, I want to actively play games.

It's a Ys game, aka action (j)RPG.

I'm not sure why you think this is a platformer.

Because about a decade ago I've seen somewhere some Ys game (definetly not called seven, I don't even think it had any number attached) looking so bad as if it escaped from C64 or today's consoles advertised as RPG yet it was a platformer.

I wasn't alone, I don't remember where, how, why and with whom, but I do remember saying to someone that was with me there is no way I'm touching that bullshit.

Ys Origins has a jump button and some platforming elements. It's still a Ys game so it is focused on mowing down trash mobs followed by crazy boss battles.

Ys Origin, Ys: The Oath in Felghana and Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim have some areas with platforms that require jumping on them.

Ys I & II don't have jumping.

Ys Seven doesn't have jumping either (the jump button is a dodge roll).

Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA seems to follow Ys Seven design.

A dodgeroll ah well, darksouly crap, but I can live with that as long as I don't have to Great Gianna Super Mario.
Okay then, I'll buy Ys 7.

Ys 8 will be released on Steam in two-three weeks from now, if I like Ys 7, will buy that one too.

I don't know why Ys 7 happens tomorrow and Ys 8 so soon after that. Maybe 7 is so good they expect 8 will sell better if ported that fast afterwards.

Ys VIII PC version release at the same time as the NA/EU console version of the game (PS4 and Vita). The Japanese version (Vita) released in July 2016.
