A remake of Ys: The Vanished Omens
Long, long ago, there was an ancient kingdom called Ys which prospered under the auspices of two heavenly Goddesses. Over time, the kingdom came to be known as Esteria, and its divine history was largely forgotten by all but the descendants of those who once preached the Goddesses’ will. This is the first game as part of the Ys I Chronicles+ bundle for PC.

*I played the PSP version as I had problems with black screen occurring in my files for Ys I.
Ys I is a pretty fun game for about 75% of the time. The bumb combat system that was created due to the lack of an action button was weird, but easy to get used to. Exploring Esteria felt fun due to how quick it was and the banging ost from Falcom Sound Team. While it had some crypticness in terms of finding the next objective, there were clues that did hint on what you were supposed to be doing. The only part that was definitely cryptic was at the last part of the game. Also, the game was cryptic in the items not being usable in boss battles. While the plot and characters are simple, the lore and mysteries in Esteria were intincing enough and the upgraded art does give some characters to shine. The biggest flaw of the game were the bosses. Most of them were inoffensive to mildly annoying t best. However, a peculiar bat boss and the final boss were the most frustrating parts of the game. Especially the final boss as his fireballs and destroying floors were terrible game design. I salute all players whom beat him on PC as his fire balls are faster than on PSP. Just for those two bosses alone, the game falls to a 3.5/5. Despite those bumbs, the game is still fun and short to beat (if you know what you're doing). Easy recommendation for anyone trying out Ys for the first time.

Honestly quite fun, I think I'm part of the minority that prefer Ys 1 to Ys 2, but I prefered this game a lot more, felt like it was a little more meaty of a game as there isn't really any down time to grind or anything. It's mostly progression and how it's achieved in this game that matters to me compared to 2. Either way feel free to listen to everyone else on how they feel about the game as I'm probably part of the minority.
I was expecting it to be a lot rougher than it was
Parts of it were enjoyable, besides the final dungeon lol
I have three fists named "Vagullion", "Khonsclard", and "Dark Fact" and they all do damage to my ego every time I look back and see how long I spent on them

Muito fodinha, apesar das horas que parece ser tosco (Aí é só você ser tosco e ficar girando em volta dos bosses).
It was really cool finding out that the guy from that gif "oh my oh my goodness gracious (1 big hot man)" is just a random dude that shows up out of nowhere to break a wall, and then leaves.
