I really wish these games had some kind of map. I don't mind getting vague clues about what to do and where, but not having any type of mapping is why I strictly used a guide. I ain't got time to run around in circles.

I wanted to experience earlier games in the franchise, since my only Ys game before this was Ys VIII on Switch, which is a fantastic game. I love JRPGs, but it is definitely refreshing to use the bump system and have everything go so quickly, avoid long, arduous, turn-based grind sessions and long slogs across world maps.

This game is incredibly relaxing...I can't even explain it. The whole bump system where you just run into the sides of enemies to kill them is highly satisfying and binge-worthy. Just beat the First Ys not too long ago; trailing along on the second one, but kind of getting burnt out since its largely the same. Definitely coming back to …
