Definitely prefer the overhead view to the side view for Ys games but this was still a quick and fun game. The parallax scrolling is jank and the voice acting is lackluster compared to the first two titles yet the soundtrack is outstanding. It's also not the hardest version of Ys III due to the unbalanced leveling but I enjoyed mostly breezing through the game and getting hit with a section or a boss that took me a few tries. It somehow made for a well paced adventure.
