I can see why they continued to use this same engine/style with most of the remakes and later games, this game was amazing, very fast paced, awesome story, the graphics seem a bit dated by today's standards but everything flowed well as did the music, this is likely the best game in the series, if not the second, I am glad I've played the series in release order, it's been an amazing trip, I have high hopes for the next game, definitely play Ys Seven.
