The Ys Franchise Explained In 43 Seconds #jrpg #adol
This is a series that follows the main character, a doll who's obsessed with adventuring to different lands. These can be described as Indiana Jones meets Zelda. Each game is a journey described in the main character's travelog. It requires no previous knowledge of past games to play. The sense of exploration is the key draw for ease discovering new lands, solving puzzles, and uncovering hidden secrets. A signature to earlier Ys Games is its pump combat system, where if you collide with enemies, that's going to be how you attack and you're not going to want to collide head on. You're going to want to collide at an angle to avoid taking damage. But this is something that they've pivoted from with future entries, focusing now more on a more like standard action based combat system.
