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
