So then, it seems that after all the mind-numbing waiting and heartache, Ys fans waiting for an excellent PC port were left hung out to dry. If you got extremely unlucky with Disgaea D2: A Brighter Darkness, your PS3 might even end up bricked, though you could get around this by loading your save file twice. A high-profile bug was found in The Witch and the Hundred Knight for PS3, where the game would crash upon playing a certain story mission.

The release of Disgaea on PC a few years ago suffered from numerous technical issues, though these problems were ironed out later. Of course, NISA's struggles with ports is nothing new. In response, gamers across social media and forums are raking NIS America over the coals for their slipshod work, and just 25% of the Steam reviews are positive for the otherwise excellent Lacrimosa of Dana, as of writing. Multiple beta testers posting on Reddit and beyond suggest that Ys VIII has had these issues for months. Even with these changes, NISA still pushed out a subpar port.

Wyatt would be improving Ys VIII by updating to DX 11.1, as well as fixing some of the shading issues, as detailed in the post above. NISA did announce they were bringing in Rob Wyatt from Tin Giant LLC, a porting studio that's worked with Insomniac and Microsoft previously. Ultimately, one is left wondering how the extra time taken with the PC port was used.
