    This RPG is okay so far. The movements of the characters are not as smooth as I expected. Hardly any spoken dialogue from the main character. The button mechanics take some getting used to. Camera angle could use some work - it's hard to keep the camera focused on what I'm attacking; instead, I'm running around trying to view the enemy again. Purchase with caution. Bought this game simply because I was itching for a RPG to keep me occupied.

    YS 8 is a run action RPG. It looks a bit visually dated but plays pretty well and has more than enough to do to justify the purchase.

    My girlfriend loves the Dana game. large world with a lot of things to explore and places to see. Tons of different monsters to battle some which have mechanics you see in other large games which is awesome. there are some minor glitches when looking at shadows and other things in the game but aside from that it is well done.

    Ys VIII is a marvelous game that truly deserves more attention. With my limited exposure to the series, I am impressed each time I dive in. Those looking for a classic JRPG that hits all the right notes, you will be hard-pressed to find a better experience, especially on the Switch. I am glad this series is getting more exposure and would love to see it eventually make its way onto every platform. Don’t be afraid of the number, this is a great game to dive head first into.
