My thoughts on this mostly echo my thoughts on Ys Origin. I love the gamplay loop focusing on the stat and exp boosting potions to incentivize keeping a streak of slain enemies going. The boss fights are very enjoyable with tough but easy to learn patterns that make the fights challenging but fun. The boss design isn't quite as good as Origin with some fights being a little too easy and some boss patterns being awkward to read. Overall a solid entry in the series.
