Standing here, I realize you were
Just like me trying to make history.
But who's to judge the right from wrong.
When our guard is down I think we'll both agree.
That violence breeds violence.
But in the end it has to be this way.

Ys Origin is now done with Toal's route. And with that I give the game a STRONG

10/10.

Characters:

Yunica was still my favorite of the bunch but I loved Toal and Hugo aswell. If I had to rank them by character it'd be

1. Yunica
2. Toal
3. Hugo

But all of them are still great with only little gaps between them. For Yunica, I loved her relationship with the Knights and Roy, Feena, and Reah especially. She's just so sweet what an absolute bean.

For Hugo I liked his brashness and felt given his family it was very justified; I almost can relate it a bit. I also LOVED his thing with Epona. It gave more light to the Darklings and well her as characters and Kishgal too. Made them feel like less of bosses for the sake of bosses and moreso just characters with their own goals, though misguided ones.

And Toal. He was just a fucking trip man I love the Anti-Hero role he played and the extra backstory on Reah and Feena he shed along with getting to know him, himself. What felt like a shitbag obstacle in the other routes turned into a genuinely respectable guy determined to do what he needed for his endgoal and I love that

Story:

Each route had a great story to accompany the characters, while Yunica is still my favorite character wise, I'm sorry I just can't see any way to say that Toal's wasn't absolutely goated. I loved everything about it. While Yunica's and Hugo's seemed to only focus On them respectively with Hugo's going a bit into Toal as a character. Toal's route I felt fleshed them out individually great, however it is much better having prior knowledge of them from their routes, so I'd suggest doing Toal's last.

Ranking:
1. Toal
2. Yunica
3. Hugo

Gameplay:

YUNICA IS SO FUCKING FUN MAN JUST LIKE WOOOOOOOOOOOO SPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!!

I loved using her wind skill to find a bunch of sequence breaks, and I did Yunica's route. Hell I skipped the Dragon Claw whatever's unknowingly using the Wind Skill and I ADORE this type of Freedom in games. I mean hell, there is a reason why I love Sonic 06 and it's for all the wrong ones. Toal's gameplay was also great. His wind skill was so fucking cool man like holy shit and don't get me started on the Thunder Claw and Fire Tornado shit so daMN RAWWWW. Toal had a decent amount of those sequence breaks and other cool tricks, tho not as much as Yunica which is pretty much what put him below her.

AAAAAAAND for Hugo. I'm gonna be blunt here and say his gameplay; BLEW ACTUAL ASS until the ladder half of the Guilty Fire. But after then it started picking up. I get he's supposed to appeal to a different audience which wasn't quite for me but in the end he still made up for it.
