Transistor is coming out May 20th, from the creators of Bastion. I'm super hyped for that. That soundtrack...unph.

Ys: Memories Of Celestia is a pretty niche Action-RPG. Very fast-paced, solid story.

I thought Ys was meant to be pretty well-known?

Do you know if Memories of Celestia is going to be released on Steam?

Niche outside of Japan, for sure.

I think Celestia is a Vita exclusive, similar to how Seven was a PSP exclusive. That could change, though!

Your username a reference to Windwaker, by chance?

Not really. I once made a WoW character, looked up another word for new beginning in a thesauras and outset was the one that struck.

It was only later I remembered there was also Outset Island (the island you start on) in Wind Waker.

Pretty sure that applies to Ys too ;). I personally found Celecta disappointing. Sub-native resolution, sub-30 FPS frame rate, cringey VA and far too many "talk to all the villagers" quests.

Yeah it definitely doesn't top Oath in Felghana for me, but I got it during this PSN Golden Week sale for a pretty good deal, so I'm not too disappointed for the price!

I got the limited edition at launch. Still think the purchase was worth it, due to the 3 disc OST collection. Was putting it off after seeing Japanese footage, but Falcom Sound Team JDK...

But they had to go ahead and exclude Feena ;_;
