| Leynos said: I'm not ranking it as the best of all time. Tho it is a fantastic game and an all-time classic. My favorite game of all time. Ys 1. Esp the Turbograpx16 and Chronicles versions. It has such an atmosphere of adventure. Yuzo Koshiro's score is a masterpiece. The TG16 version is an early example of voice acting and it's good! Yeah English VA in a JRPG in 1990 and it's good! Mind you Ys was originally released on the PC88 in 1986. It's been ported and remade 1000 times from classic to modern systems. It comes from the era of the bump system. Fairly common battle mechanics of the 80s. Before DQ popularized turn based in Japan. JRPGs were action games. Ys you bump into an enemy to attack. Slight learning curve but it catches on quickly. May not seem like much to most people but this intro gives me chills every time. |
I really need to play more Ys games. I loved Origin and VIII, but haven’t fully explored the series. I have Ys I & II Chronicles downloaded on my Vita at the moment, so hopefully I can find time to play it soon :)
