A look back at: Ys III


Yikes, it's only been three entire days since my last RPG. This is what happens when I play a more simplistic NES game. But then again, not all the time. Anyways Ys III. Like the other ones, something that's an action RPG, where you can grind by any chance you get, get to max level, still have a chance to get your ass kicked in the end. Oh, and it's a side scroller in Zelda II style now instead of the normal "run into enemies" thing from the last game. I would've hated it if there were bottomless pits or anything Ninja Gaiden-style, but thankfully that doesn't happen. Bosses are once again fairly dangerous but at the same time with the proper leveling and healing items they go down in seconds. The game does attempt to make the plot important at several intervals and overall doesn't do terribly in that regard. Of course, Dogi's reappearance was somewhat interesting here.

Also The Oath of Felgana is apparently the remake, fledging out and retconning a good chunk of the story I played from the Famicom release. But for the most part I don't care all that much. It's just help some miners, find out the conspiracy, the next few plot twists, kill the unsealed evil, and more adventures await. And it doesn't take long, even to grind or go through things. This is easily the simplest of the Ys game and that says...not a whole lot, really.
