    This is worth the money, but it isn’t 100% polished.

    I'd heard that it's easy to pick this game up if, even if you've ever played an Ys game, but that wasn't the case for me. I had a tough time getting used to the combat and the story, and the localization/translation is terrible.

    It is a very fun game to play but there is a lot of story and tutorials that can drive you up the wall.

    This game feels dated in a bad way. Very PS2. No thanks!

    One of my favorite games that's come out over the last few years. The story/characters are interesting, the combat is good and I really liked the island setting. Very fun and definitely recommended.

    While some find the opening “repetitive”, about Halfway through the game, the story greatly expands and you learn a lot about the past world and meet some amazing characters. By the end you’ll shed a tear. It’s really great

    The story is entertaining and characters are great. If you don't mind the visual quality, it is definitely one of the best JRPGs these years.
