I really think so!

Yattaaaaaa! The Japanese Sale is back, bringing copious amount of eccentric NPCs, oversized weapons, emotional roller coasters and gravity-defying hairdos.

Look, there's something here for everyone: fast-paced action/RPGs like the acclaimed Ys series and the recent Tokyo Xanadu eX+, classic jRPGs like Cosmic Star Heroine and The Legend of Heroes series, satirical turn-based RPGs like the lovely Hyperdimension: Neptunia, and eerily sentimental tales like Higurashi When They Cry.

And let's not forget our lovely newcomers: Ys: Memories of Celceta, Shining Song Starnova, and A Kiss for the Petals - Remembering How We Met.

The Japanese Sale ends August 1, 10 PM UTC.

tinyE: Serious Question

I've been on the fence about the Way of the Samurai games for a while now. They LOOK a lot like Jade Empire, however looks can be deceiving. For example, this is me IRL.

But back on topic, can any comparison be drawn between the two games?
I don't think they're all too similar.

I played Way of the Samurai 4 and it's a super interesting experience, recommend giving it a shot. It's sort of a sandbox action-RPG with stunning attention to detail that makes it a very deep rather than expansive. There are tons of interesting but unconventional design elements, time passes and NPCs act regardless of your actions. I believe it also includes some roguelite elements which carry over across playthroughs (but I never got that far).

tinyE: I'd like to go in order. Is it a mistake playing #3 first?
No idea tbh, I only played #4 soon after it came to GOG and read up on the series, but I can't comment on how the two compare. As far as I know #4 was ported to PC before #3... it might just be that it's the more polished or popular of the two games, but I kind of doubt it'd be a mistake to start with either. They seem rather standalone.
