If you're a story kind of guy, this is probably the best Ys to date to jump into for just that.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
26 of 100 sampled reviews raised it
The core combat mechanics were really interesting, though I kind of missed positioning having more importance during fights.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
25 of 100 sampled reviews raised it
Your preferences may vary but the button customization is quite nice and you aren't forced to have dash on evade if you don't want to as I mostly used it while holding skill select.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
9 of 100 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack is a banger, like the previous Ys games I've played, so nothing's changed there.
