Loved this one, it is fantastic, i find it beautiful how it connects all of adol's adventures up to this point in a fantastic climax with its fair shares of revelations and throwbacks mixed in. The game design also reminded me a lot of ys1&2 in a very good way.

One thing that i would like to point out is that the main towns of this game are among the best i have seen in a game, mostly for one reason in particular that is how well characterized every single npc who lives in them are and how nicely they are developed as the game progresses, it made me wanna talk to all of them every time i came back and it was a lot of fun, this is a feature that i have seen lots of people praise the Kiseki games(the other Nihon Falcon flagship series) for as well, and now i wanna play them more than ever.

In the end, i really had a lot of fun and couldn't stop playing this game until seeing the credits, even if it is a bit grindy at times and has a very confusing cave in the middle there, i don't care, it was way more enjoyable than anything and well worth my time, thank you Nihon Falcon for this very special piece of gaming and art.

And on another note and a bigger scope, with this done i finally have played all the Napishtim-Engine Ys games(VI, Felghana and Origin), they were fantastic and made me love this series. I admit that i am a tiny bit worried that maybe i might not enjoy the Party-System Engine games that much, because of my not-so-incredible experience with Celceta, but very hopefully i am wrong and they are going to be a blast.

Ys is good.
