A solid entry in the Ys series. This was the first modern Ys game I've played with the action on-the-fly character change mechanic and I enjoyed how seamless this feature is and the variety it provides in terms of fast-paced action combat system.

The story is solid, although a bit convoluted compared to earlier Ys games but this is a trend with modern Ys games. Exploring the forest of Celceta was fun all the while trying to figure out what exactly occurred with Adol and his memories.

The dungeon/levels design is a bit all over the place in this game and while the fast-paced combat is fluid and fun for the most part, it can start becoming a bit repetitive and mindless once you equip your characters appropriately.
