As the first game of a new battle system nicknamed the Napishtim system, Ys VI landed the fun factor pretty well. The combat feels smooth and the movement felt fast. The game is relatively short, so the combat doesn't overstay its welcome. The story is typical Ys standard, but the lore it adds to the mythology is neat. The Canaan Islands are fun to explore, though it's a lot smaller than what you'll assume. Music is a banger, but that is a given for Ys. The visuals are old but have an odd charm that makes the game hold up. The only flaws I had issues with were the stiff jumping (especially when trying to perform the dash jump), a few times where you don't exactly know when you need to go (though considering how quick skip travel was, it didn't become a detriment), and the few times where you just need to grind (though the combat made the grinding fun to do. Easy 4/5 and an easy recommendation for any fan of Ys and any JRPG fan wanting to try out an Ys game.
