Revisional Differences#
|
To do: |
Standard Edition#
Ys VI was initially released as a limited edition. Reprints of the game were released as a standard edition with additional features.
- In response to players thinking the game was too easy, Hard and Nightmare difficulties were added.
- Time Attack mode was added.
XSEED Release#
XSEED added several quality-of-life features when they released the game on Steam in 2015.
- Optional widescreen support was added (the original version stretched the screen when played in 16:9 resolutions). Since the game was not designed for widescreen, previously offscreen details can sometimes be seen.
- The Wing of Alma was altered to enable fast-traveling to any save point. If desired, its old functionality can be re-enabled as a hidden feature in the game's configuration file found in the Saved Games folder.
- In ys6_win.ini, under the [Game] section, set OldAlmaWing=1 to restore its original functionality.
- Catastrophe mode was added as an alternate game mode with the following differences:
- Healing items are used immediately and cannot be stocked, as in The Oath in Felghana and Ys Origin.
- Treasure chests that contained healing items are replaced with Capla Water.
- Capla Water no longer heals HP, but will still cure status ailments and max out the magic gauge.
- Croix's Wares in Port Rimorge has all healing items replaced with stat-boosting seeds that can be bought at a high price.
- Steam leaderboards for Time Attack mode was added.
- Achievements have been implemented.
