Had a different game scheduled for this quickplay but that ended up getting hit with Copyright. And that game was given to me by a company. Never thought I would have to deal with copyright on that.
Anyway why not a demo of an Ys game. Holy crap Ys has been going on for a VERY long time. I mean they even have a typing game. I never played one until this demo. Gnerally they're enjoyable to watch. Every time I saw someone play this game, they play it at the highest difficulty available. It's like you're not allowed to play at any lower difficulty.
Story
I couldn't really tell you the story as this demo didn't exactly lay out a story for the game. But from my knowledge. Usually Adol Christan is on an adventure and gets dragged into a town/country's local crisis. They always seem to involve some huge demon god that Adol has to take care of cause everyone else can't seem to do so. Adol does this so much that it's pretty much a Tuesday for him. Heck honestly Adol would take on the problems guys like Link, Sora, Dante, Bayonetta, and Mario have, then just plan out his vacation.Gameplay
Gameplay has certainly stepped up since the last time I watched an Ys game. It used to be a top down perspective. Now it's full 3D with combos. You also have party members that assist you. That's new to me. And these party members actually help. Not only that but you can command them as to how they'll attack. I can't really describe how well the gameplay is. Words don't do it for me. You'll just have to see it for yourself.Difficulty thankfully is lenient as opposed to what I see online. Online videos show this game to be an unrelenting hellscape scenario where bosses even possess bullet hell. But really in difficulties that aren't beyond hard is just a matter of learning and paying attention to the battle.
Music
I'll have to take someone's comment I read on the OST. The Day Falcom makes a horrible OST is the day Adol can sail properly. Don't really know what exactly is meant by that. But I hope Adol stays a horrible sailor then.Graphics
I love the graphics...Now they're not eye-popping, incredible real life graphics that everyone wants these days. But I can look at these and have a nice spark to the imagination. And I love that bosses get an introduction. More RPGs need to do this. Not the say hello I'm gonna kill you kind. The you get a view of the boss before the fight starts. There's also sections where the party will stop and look at a landmark. Which for once I don't find annoying. It doesn't feel forced like in certain other games that do the same thing.Not much else I can talk about for this game. It is a demo. But it does make me a bit more interested in playing the Ys Series.
