I just learned that there is a gemstone called Sphene. It exhibits an amazing color change, not possible to convey in a still image. It’s ancient and fragile, but is one of sparkliest gems. Wonder if there’s a connection #Ys IX #MonstrumNox

Really enjoyed this interview with @jrpgpursuit.bsky.social
talking about #Ys VIII novelization! We covered a lot of topics that never came up before, including some behind the scenes stories as well as the very first peek at the upcoming novelization of #YsIX.

I wanted to express my very special thanks to @patrickseitz.bsky.social for doing such an amazing job as Dogi. This character is very special to many of us, and hearing his actual voice talking about cooking, Adol, and adventures felt like being inside a real #Ys game. Thank you, Patrick!

It’s all about commerce, even on a desert island. But don’t you just hate it when you follow a pirate treasure map and dig out a chest only to discover a… book! Ugh. Who wants to read these days anyway? www.ys-books.com #YsVIII #CastawayTales @nihonfalcom @dragonwellbooks
