I don't know how falcom did it, they had what could have been actually interesting idea and worked with it more, but didn't.
Bump combat is weird to get used to, but I actually enjoyed it... in ys 1. Ys 2 felt boring, at least for the short time I played it because I had a big issue occur for me. My saves not actually saving.
That coupled with the fact that grinding sooooooo much more boring, ys 1 only having up to iirc 10 levels to grab over the course of the game, with each one making a large meaningful difference. Cause ys 2 decided to have a more normal jrpg leveling system aka a hella boring one.
