Finished Ys X Great game with few shortcomings to become a masterpiece. The game starts kinda slow with the 2 characters mechanics not fully fleshed so you'll get the sense that it not very good. But by the end of the game, you'll gather so much abilities with huge effects on screen. You'll be too powerful. But that looks like to prepare builds for Nightmare difficulty. As you have so much accessories and weapons all able to upgrade. Movement and fights feel very smooth especially when you are above 100 fps. You do parry pretty easily and I suggest to do it at every boss fight as some of them are unique to the fight with extra cutscenes. A setback is variety of enemies. I wish for more types. Other shortcomings are the ship battles and graphics. Ship battles especially in the beginning are very slow and boring. By end game they improve drastically. The characters look very decent but the environments looks very basic. Also as much the game based on sea areas, the water graphics don't hold up. The story and characters are interesting. Big moments are nicely done. Music ranges bettween very good and masterpiece. On PC I used mods for HDR (Reno DX) was very impactful on OLED. Contrast and colors are very poppy. Also used a mod to smooth the sky colors gradient. Another mod to change the characters portrait art as I didn't like them lol. One mod to increase some textures resolution. Excellent game and I wish Falcom to address the shortcomings in the next game. For (Ys X: Proud nordics) I saw what the difference. If you gonna buy the game, get that version. But for me I already played the game and the main story don't change. So I'll pass on it currently. Just a little heads up, make sure the mods are compatible if you want to mod.

So, finally finsihed this game. What a...mixed bag. On one hand it had some neat ideas on another the neat ideas where seperated by long periods of either straight up nothing or not that great or engaging stuff. Dungeons are better than in 9 thank fully and enemy design is definetly better than the Lemures in 9. But the ship...the slow ass ship. The marine exploration is just...nothing. its padding to increase time. Fishing somehow feels less intersting to me than in 8, though thats just subjective. Combt is definetly easier that the previous games apart from few key boss fights and even than its because the enemy is spamming attacks and its hard to see and quickly react. No FLASH MOVE just hold the button and characters do it auotmatically. No FLASH DODGE, press the greatest shield ability in gaming to pretty much tank anything. Weapon upgrades and inventory is a mess. Most NPC are just there. Not offensively boring and neither truly engaging. They only strat getting intersting in the finall tiny convo you have with them once you max their approval and do their quests. Abilities are cool and almost overpowered in places. Damage sponges at the end are present a little, but its only somewhat more noticebale from 9 and definetly better than in 8. The story was....there. Not going to lie. I geuinly fully cared in just few moments. When we meet Lila. Every boss fiught with the boss Griegers. and the Old Man parts of the story. Karja is a good companion, though she develops a little too quickly. Should have been a little slower turn to the gentler side, but still fine. While the exploration of the dungeons/islands is better on gameplay level than 9 and few places in 8. It somehow feels worse backstory wise. Almost no cool ruins to explore. And while their are small allusions and story beats around the destroyed kingdom you dont end up enjoying it and soaking it up like in other Ys games. The annoying tower defence is back and its more annoying and longer than before. The raids in 8 and 9 are actually quicker and more enjoyable than the recapturing battles in this. not even mentioning the bare bones ship combat. Overall you can feel the cut budget of the already cut budget that 9 suffered. In my review of 9 I said it might be the weakest Ys game. If 9 got rid of the horendous NOX point mechanic, I would gladly take that assessment back and give it to this game. Maybe i am being held hostage against my better judgment but i still cant bring myself to forsake this game and give it thumbs down. I dont think i will ever replay it. nor will many other people, but i still had alright time playing it. Sometimes I wish Steam had Middle/Neutral rating too or star rating system instead of just binary.

Its a good game for sure but it really does not hold up to the previous 2 entries in the series.

Great game. The most I liked about this game is the gameplay, exploration, and combat (Perfect Parry mechanism I love you). Epic bosses and interesting side story. Easily one of the best Ys I've ever played. Although the pacing of the story is kinda...too slow. The story is good don't get me wrong, but they keep the "Mystery" too long that in the early to mid game I find quite difficult to have "motivation" to beat the main story if you know what I mean. Thankfully the gameplay made me to keep playing :D
