As I stated before elsewhere, the power of nostalgia seems to have blinded people to the actual quality of Ys Books I & II on Turbo CD. It's... not a very good game. In fact it's downright mediocre at best, a barely-modified port of a Sega Master System game with a new translation, some fancy introductory proto-FMVs, half the music in Redbook CD audio format, and about 3 minutes' worth of voice acting. The gameplay is sub-par, the hit detection is suspect, the hitstun period is punishingly microscopic, the monster AI is laughable, many bosses require luck instead of skill to defeat, and the overall presentation just isn't that great.
Sky Render - Sanity is for the weak.
