Finished Ys Origin (Yunica's path), and got to chapter 16~ in Valkyria Chronicles. Two great games.
I started Ys 8 tonight (at chapter 2 currently, beat a couple of bosses) and I'm not feeling it right now. Ys Origin is an excellent game for its scope/perspective, the small budget isn't much of a detriment for its style. Ys 8 on the other hand is kind of butchered by the small budget, not a fan of the combat flow either so far, and it's sometimes hard to make out what small enemies are doing, maybe my eyes need time to adjust to the visuals.
I hope it grows on me because I loved Origin which I thought would be "my cheap entry to the series" vs 8 being "the ultimate Ys" lol. Love the soundtracks though, this series got some bangers.
