Adol and his 5 new friends take on cool monster personas to explore the grayest medieval city in the planet. Music's still great, combat's still fun, and the new movement options offer some more variety with the combat, although the actual hits don't feel quite as good as VIII. Party system is definitely starting to become stale, but hopefully Falcom takes some of the better ideas from this entry and applies them for the eventual Ys V remake or Ys X.
