what little i'd seen of the ys series made me believe it was one of those 500 hour JRPGs that is weirdly popular for whatever reason
i couldn't be wronger. this game FUCKS. the soundtrack fucks even harder. story's not much to talk about but the gameplay is VERY unique to me. i love this stupid ass bumper car combat. i love how stupidly simple the game actually is.
they really just said "alright. get this. YOU'RE the one who deals contact damage. that's all i got" and it was the best idea they ever had

I played this on steam but I don't see that version of Backlogg'd lol.
This was so good the whole way through but the final boss was frustrating enough for me to drop a few points. Still, outside of that, it's surprising how well this has aged! Def had a fun time.

Trying out all the Ys games and the first is definitely interesting. I technically played this on Steam but haven't actually play YII and the listing is for the bundle of games. The story is kinda you normal Fantasy RPG, you are a dude who got caught up in a storm and wakes up in a port town to then go out on the journey to save the world. The Combat is very simple as its just run into the enemy, but you have to do it off center of the enemy or from their blindspot which is interesting but used to it from playing Xanadu Next earlier this year. The final area of the game was really annoying, alot of going back and forth, even more so if you didn't have a walkthrough which I had to glance at one every now and then during it cause I got so lost. The Final Boss was also one of the most annoyingly hardest things in the game, but after finding his pattern and just restarting over and over I finally did it. Overall it was a decent game and I am interested in checking out more of the series now.
