I love this description because it's objectively a good thing to take steps to make games more approachable and everything they point out is completely correct - especially the overall responsiveness of the movement - but at the same time, it's… Ys I.

kindness!

overwhelming kindness!!

So yeah EGG Console Ys was delightful; a lovely surprise. It's held up well all these years on, and after playing through later updated versions like Chronicles with all their various new additions, this original PC release almost feels quite streamlined and breezy in comparison. (well, as 'streamlined' or 'breezy' as roundabout mazes like the Abandoned Mine and Darm Tower can get, anyway) And after hearing all the horror stories, it seemed like even the Dark Fact battle wasn't near as terrible as anticipated. Yeah absolutely the fight still sucks on toast, the lack of diagonal movement is cumbersome, and you'll still need a touch of luck to succeed, but I expected far worse.

Welp, time to sit and seethe because Ys II still isn't on D4's list of upcoming titles. Don't you dare leave us hanging!

#ys series #egg console #the game has a control diagram that tells you which button allows you to read the books of ys (R3)#but it takes so long before reah forks over her specs that i completely forgot about in the interim :')#and was slapping every face button on the controls after the final battle desperately trying to activate the ending lol great job
