Terrible, awful, easily my least favorite Ys game, so much so I didn't finish it. Didn't get particularly far, but having played the other two games in the same engine, I can tell that it wouldn't get any better for me.

At least Oath and Origins had an easier mode to play through that meant I could finish it - and Origins was actually fun - but I just don't want to mindlessly kill enemies over and over again just to get a high enough number next to my name as to not die.
