I really enjoyed this! Easily my favorite Ys game, and I like Ys games!

Combat is fun of course, and the music is great (but not as good as Ys VIII's soundtrack, unfortunately). Those are pretty much always givens with Ys games though, so where I was pleasantly surprised was with the interesting story and the characters I (mostly) cared about.

I hope this series keeps getting more popular, especially in the West, because I want Falcom to keep making them - and maybe get the English versions out faster!
