Genuinely think this may be one of the most underrated RPGs out there and a lot of the things it does have not [or had not been] done better. The party system has always been controversial, but I feel like Ys Seven is the only instance where it's ever been married to the classic gameplay in a seamless manner. Items are /actually/ limited, bosses are challenging and telegraph their attack patterns well, and yet you now have access to a cast of different gameplay styles to use at your disposal, with fights being balanced around that. The dungeon design is fantastic and the plot tends to unfold as you traverse through Altago and gradually learn more about it, really evoking a sense of "adventure" in the player. Ys Seven is exceptional and it's a shame it doesn't get the appreciation it deserves.
