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.

Origin was my entry to the series too

Its a great entry.

At least you didnt start on Ys 1 and 2 with the bumping battle system and all lmao.

I started with Ys 1 and Ys 1 is my fave game of all time. Bump system is easy to learn. Only takes like 30 seconds to get it. Ys 1 is among the best in the series. I'd say Oath is the absolute best. Ys IX easily being the worst.
