###

Ys is an action RPG series from the legendary developer Falcom. Here's a retrospective review of Ys I & II Chronicles which is a remake of the first two entries. Join Adol as he collects the 6 books of Ys and tries to defeat the demons that are plaguing the land of Esteria.

Find out why this is such a beloved series and considered a bit of a cult classic JRPG series. I take a look at the complete story, the characters, the gameplay.
