Bump combat at its finest.
I can't remember exactly when but the first time I tried playing this game when I was 13 or 14 years old, I couldn't even get past the first overworld area. It wasn't until about 18 years later that I was finally able to figure it out but when I did, it was the best decision I had made to replay an older game. The gameplay is obtuse (non-derogatory) but when you get into the flow state with it, it becomes the most satisfying overhead 2D combat system in existence. I honestly have not bothered playing the remakes of I & II but I do not feel like they are necessary when compared to the original intent of design on the predecessors. Has some of the best music in any game hands-down.

Almost perfect but lacks some of the newer QoL features that the PC version benefits from like fast-travel. The first of the mainline Ys series that jumped to full-3D and although there are a little quirks here and there, it manages to maintain most of the greatness of the previous 5 games in the series.
