The Legend of Xanadu

[esteban]

Your so intellegent then you make logic sense of it???

The way I see, it is that Falcom had a thing, they came up with some ideas and it actually worked. What is Y's and popful mail really?
Popful mail gameplay is basically the original DSlayer but without gigantic mazes, and battle sequences. Y's is just Dslayer, but for some reason they decided not to tie him into the DSlyer world and give him a little island in the middle of nowhere.

All I know about Dragon Slayer, is the new games is not really slayer along with new Y's. Falcom is digging deep into it's fanbox.

I have a difficult time understanding your posts. Dragon Slayer is a menu based RPG, Ys is an action RPG?

Sadler, stop being logical and reasonable

I think what RegalSin is saying is that many (or nearly all) of Falcom's titles can be classified as "video games".  If you paint with broad strokes and (over)generalize...

Y's

If you put an apostrophe (') in the Ys title one more time, I will have you banished from the internet.


The games are all part of the "Dragon Slayer" series.

It is the parent.  The top of the tree.  Everything is a "Dragon Slayer" game in some form.

then branching off of it there were the Legend of Heroes games.  Dragon Slayer VI was the first, and now we have lots of the LOH branch.

Legend of Xanadu is basically a branch off of DS II (Xanadu).

It's all connected somehow, to Dragon slayer, the original game.

Theres the main line of games, and some of them have sub games. 

That's all there is to it.

Picture in your head, after awhile Falcom realized they should be commercializing their RPG to the public, instead of creating an RPG atmosphere. Y's and Popful Mail are both born of commercial desire instead of being your usually shut in, lets roll the dice type game.

For what it's worth, the original Dragon Slayer is an action RPG.

Yeah. That's what I was going to say. The Turbo Dragon Slayer: Legend of Heroes is not the original Dragon Slayer. Most of the games in the DS series are action RPG's.

Really, we should more correctly refer to the Turbo/PCE games as "Legend of Heroes", not "Dragon Slayer". Legend of Heroes branched off to its own, long-running series, which also happens to be at a peak in its popularity presently in Japan.

...but "Dragon Slayer" sounds so much kooler than "Legend of Heroes"!

LoH branched off from the PCE games as well and the "Dragon Slayer" logo is printed in HUGE font all over the PCE games with a tiny font used for "Legend of Heroes". Since they're the only DS/LoH games for Turbo/PCE, there's no need to call them anything but "Dragon Slayer", unless someone is the type to insist on only referring to the Legend of Xanadu games as "Dragon Slayer VIII & IX".

For what its worth, almost none of these games have the slightest f*cking thing to do with each other.

The PCE versions say 英雄伝説 in larger font than "Dragon Slayer". They screwed up on the Turbo CD cover. It's a misprint.  :-" So, no, they are Legend of Heroes I and II before they are Dragon Slayer.

Ys games used to have Ys gameplay.

Whoops. Only checked the cover for the second one before posting that. Yeah, let's just ignore that cover. It's stupid anyway. They fixed the naming convention for the second one.
