more refined,and good sequel to Ys 1. not much has changed in terms of how the story play out(i feel this time it has more problems)but i love exploring the areas in this game some of the environments are just really cool and the ost fits really well,while the story may not changed as much but the gameplay sure does with the addition of magic system and bit more tweaked bump makes the game more varied and fun,but this is also where my biggest problem with this game come,the new bosses are "fun" but why almost all of them needs you to use magic instead of combining both and why you can get yourself out from the battle if you close or run to the door,also i don't mind backtracking as everyone else did but i can understand since the latter half does needs you to backtrack a lot of times.
