Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana on Vita. Getting ready for a Gendarme mountaintop boss fight.
How's the game? My tolerance for anime tropes is decently low so I'm not sure it's for me but I'm curious
I personally love the Ys stories. They pack tons of character development and story into single games. The gameplay is primarily why I love it. It's some of the best action hack n slash for me. I know some of it is trophy and typical but I don't care. The stories usually have fun twists and memorable moments with all the characters. Every game is pretty different too, making them feel fresh each time.
One thing I like about Ys, is while there's a little bit in the games of romance or sexy girls, it is actually pretty astonishing how these games never force romance between the main character and all the women. Especially this game Ys VIII, there's so many moments where you're sure they're going that route, and they don't.
No, the Ys games truly focus on an adventurer and his friends building rapport and saving the world. I'd argue these games have tons of teachable and wholesome moments.
And as the other person said, all the Ys music is brilliant. I have all the music for almost all the games. Love it.
Oh it's tropey as hell. Soundtrack slaps though
