Never played an Ys game before this. At first it looked to me like a low budget game, but after few hours I was hooked. Every single character is a fundamental piece of the game, and their stories make you to care about them. The story is really good and the "dual reality" mechanic is fantastic. The true star here is the combat. Fast, frenetic and the skills are spammable as hell. Appart from the main story you have some game modes that complements the experience, like the raids, the hunts and the night explorations, and A LOT of things to do. 

It has become my favorite jrpg ever.

Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA

Good and fun game where exploration is rewarding and does not feel like a chore. Story is alright. It feels like a JRPG mix of King Kong and Lost.

Immersive open world action RPG where you and survivors are stranded on a deserted island. Should take 40 hours to finish. Underlying systems and mechanics are deep. Combat feels satisfying. Soundtrack is memorable. Highly recommended.

Best Ys game to date.

Picked this game up on a whim, probably because of the box art. Though it is number 8, I never heard of any _YS_ games. I really enjoyed the game for the setting and lore, but the lovable characters won me over. As the story progressed, I began liking the main character (Adol) and his companions. Then, the second character (Dana) of the box art shows up unexpectedly. I knew that both stories would somehow connect, but it did not seem organic. However, towards the end of the game it all makes sense and felt in love with Dana. Do not want to spoil, but some may find the ending a little sad.

This is my first time playing YS, and OMG. It was so fun.

The story is about another adventure of Adol who in this time, he got stuck in Siren's Island. The island is known of been a cursed one, during your adventures you are discovering mysteries.

The game:

*   Hackslash action RPG
*   The battles are pretty fast to finish if you exploit the weakness of the enemy.
*   The music is great, it changes depending in which part of the island you are.
*   The story is interesting with some plot twist.
*   When the monster are too far, you will notice a little lag. But it isn't too bad

I think this is one of the best game you can start with the franchise. The number of the game is not the exact chronology order of the game. If you want to play it in order, search in google.
