If you liked the party system of Ys 8, 9 or Celceta you definitely owe it to yourself to give this game a shot. Given that it's a port of an old PSP game the graphics are obviously not the best, but fot me the high octane action more than made up for it. The story isn't as good as Ys 8 but I still found it serviceable. Check it out!

Just generally a really fun game, with a great cast of characters and a heartful story that doesn't overstay it's welcome. Gameplay overall is fun and fast paced, though on Hard some enemies do feel like bullet sponges. Easy recommend, might be my favourite Ys game, which I wasn't expecting to say after playing Ys 8.

Ys Seven is a fast-paced action RPG that shifts the series from solo combat to a party-based system, emphasizing teamwork, weapon variety, and continuous momentum. Set in the kingdom of Altago, it introduces a new structure built around open regions rather than the tighter dungeons of earlier entries. This redesign allows for a more fluid gameplay loop focused on traversal, combat, and field exploration. The story centers on Adol and Dogi as they become entangled in a conflict tied to Altago’s Five Dragons. Political tension between the monarchy, military, and local tribes frames the narrative, giving it more grounded stakes before expanding into mythological territory. While the plot structure is straightforward, it provides a clear motivation for exploration and links character arcs to the world’s broader struggles. Combat is the game’s main appeal. Real-time battles rely on swapping between characters with different attack types—slash, strike, and pierce—to counter enemy resistances. This system gives each encounter a strategic layer while maintaining the series’ signature speed. Skill usage, resource management, and enemy pattern recognition combine to create an energetic rhythm that rarely slows down. Characters are distinct in role and feel. Adol’s balanced style contrasts with Geis’s aggressive speed, Aisha’s precision, and Dogi’s heavy-hitting strikes. Each character learns unique abilities that can be leveled through use, encouraging experimentation with team composition. Boss battles showcase these differences well, requiring rapid switches and sustained awareness to succeed. Exploration blends towns, plains, deserts, forests, and shrines into compact zones that connect seamlessly. The world design encourages frequent movement between regions as the story progresses. Materials collected in the field support crafting and upgrading, which substitute for traditional item drops. This system reinforces a sense of progression tied directly to exploration rather than random chance. Visual and audio presentation reflects the PSP’s limitations but remains effective. Character models and environments are stylized, with smooth animation that supports the combat-first focus. Falcom’s music team delivers energetic tracks that elevate boss fights and add atmosphere to each region, compensating for the hardware’s graphical constraints. Ys Seven succeeds by modernizing the series without sacrificing its core identity. The party system, expanded world structure, and fast combat create a dynamic experience that remains influential in later entries. For players seeking an action RPG built around speed, clarity, and mechanical variety, it stands as a key milestone in the franchise’s evolution.

As expected from the Ys franchise, the soundtrack in Ys Seven is outstanding—every track elevates the atmosphere and captures the emotion of each scene beautifully. Falcom Sound Team jdk rarely misses, and this entry is no exception. What sets Ys Seven apart from other titles in the series is the notable absence of post-game content like Time Attack or Boss Rush modes. While that may disappoint some veterans, the core gameplay loop remains engaging throughout. Being a PSP port, the visuals understandably show their age and don’t quite meet modern standards. However, the simple yet satisfying combat system more than makes up for it. The controls are intuitive, and the learning curve is forgiving, making it accessible even for newcomers. One aspect that may irk longtime fans is the fixed party setup. Unlike Ys: Memories of Celceta or Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana, Ys Seven doesn’t allow you to swap out Adol from the main party. This limits experimentation in team composition and might feel a bit restrictive, especially in longer battles. On the technical side, the game runs smoothly from start to finish. I encountered zero bugs during my entire playthrough—a testament to the advantages of a simpler design. For players wary of overly lengthy, text-heavy RPGs, rest assured: Ys Seven is a brisk and straightforward action RPG. It doesn’t bog you down with endless dialogue or visual novel pacing, unlike titles such as Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet or Alicization Lycoris.

I rate Ys Seven very high as my second favourite of all the Ys games, it has the best soundtrack imo, really fun combat with a lot of playable character variety, solid plot and characters despite there being no voice acting, a landscape with tons of variety and exploration. It however has one big issue, the balancing and difficulty. On Normal you should have absolutely no issue, at worst bosses will overstay their welcome at times but nothing impossible or too frustrating. Go any higher and it becomes a mess, Hard and Nightmare halve your healing if not worse, everything will 2 hit you and bosses like the one at the wind temple or the final boss will have you think to yourself if the game isn't broken as if the bosses are at 2x speed. Some bosses are doable without taking a single hit because they are so predictable and easy to read and then there are the 2 bosses I mentioned that have 20 attack moves without a second for the player to even attack. What the game wants you to do is use the block feature which never got explained, the only way to find out is going in the keybind settings. I'm trying to not make it seem like a skill issue but the main take away is that it seems like the difficulties didn't get enough playtesting, it's either too easy or it's really frustrating for the average player. Don't bother going above the Normal difficulty with this one as a new player because you can't lower it in the settings later on.
