The fourth Ys game I've completed and easily the most...bland. I played it, I had an OK time. The narrative I fully admit to skimming through to get to the gameplay. Coming off Origins I got a bit a whiplash at the writing. While I know I could just refuse to heal, the fact that you can stock up on 40 health potions trivialized every single boss fight in the game. Where origin the first run through felt like I actually had to learn boss patterns, in this game I simply had to time a dodge and spam moves, drink a potion if I goofed, rinse repeat. I imagine a year from now I'll struggle to remember anything about this game.
