J'ai tardé à écrire au sujet des Ys I & II car je ne sais jamais trop quoi en dire...si ce n'est que les années passent et le que charme qu'exerce ces deux jeux ne cessent d'opérer. Le plaisir est intact. Ils figurent toujours parmi mes jeux préférés. J'en apprécie jusqu'aux moindres menus défauts. La série a connu de nombreux épisodes par la suite, dont certains qui ont fait date. Cette collection est parfaite pour remonter à la source. Et quelle source ! Je pourrais écrire sur ces deux jeux une belle tartine qui serait vite rédhibitoire ; mais quand on a soif, parler d'eau ne désaltère pas. Alors inutile de disserter en regardant l'eau s'écouler quand il suffit de se pencher...

Kind of a weird case because when you separate Ys 1 and Ys 2, they're both mid tier games, but when you combine them it becomes one of the best games in the series. Funny how that works

A classic which aged surprisingly well for a 1987 RPG. Sure, its age can be seen in some parts (bosses in Ys 1, dungeons in Ys 2), but if you can look past that, then you get an absolute gem. Be warned though, the combat system is quite divisive (you either love it or hate it, no in-between), so I can't recommend it to just about anyone, but I still really like it

First game's final boss is 80% luck and 20% skill what the heck.

The OST goes so fucking hard man. The combat in 1 is weirdly addicting 2 on the other hand is a bit slower with the fireball system not say its bad. Exploration and puzzle solving is pretty fun if a bit primitive and archaic now. Both of these games have some of the greatest boss designs of their era.

Un inicio maravilloso a una franquicia maravillosa. Recomiendo encarecidamente que, a pesar de ser juegos muy arcaicos, le deis una oportunidad. Tiene un sistema de combate muy propio y extraño, pero en el momento que os acostumbráis se hace muy divertido.

I prefer the TurboGrafx CD Version of Ys I but this was still great. Save for Dark Fact on Nightmare. Unlike the remake of Ys 1, I think Nightmare difficulty actually improves Ys II from a gameplay standpoint. I enjoyed bosses in the TurboGrafx-CD version of Ys 1, meanwhile I steamrolled in Ys II. The higher difficulty options in this version make a lot of fights in the first game far more frustrating than they need to be whereas in the second they actually provide a fun challenge. Would recommend anyone who wasn't too hot on an older version/lower difficulty of Ys II to give Nightmare a shot.
