Ys V:Lost Kefin SNES. Falcom made an Ys game exclusively for the SNES, it ends up being a mid imitation of Final Fantasy. Story is okay but feels like you're going thru the motions.The music is such a downgrade, Combat feels clunky, Magic is basically pointless, and bosses are piss easy 6/10 No Dogi

Ys IV:The Dawn of Ys Turbographx. Hudsonsoft made this game instead of Falcom. The pinnacle of the bump combat games. Everything feels refined and balanced. The production values feel way higher. We got better villains, characters and a story that kept me really engaged. Also good final boss. 8/10

Ys III: Wanderers from Ys Turbographx. In a departure from the last 2 games, Ys 3 introduces a Zelda 2 combat system. Combat feels good if a little clunky. Story is more involved, Adol and Dogi are now best buddies, voice acting in the game is hilarious! Final boss is challenging but fair. 7/10

Ys II: Ancient Ys Vanished Turbographx. Continuing right where Ys 1 left off. Adol wakes up on a floating island so he can defeat evil from Ys, you get magic to attack which makes combat feel better. Story is still basic. Final boss really kicked my ass this time! Feena shows up, then leaves. 6/10

Ys I: Ancient Ys Vanished: Omen for Turbographx. Ys 1 is a game that introduces the bump combat system, it takes a bit getting used to but works. Story is kinda basic as was the style at the time. Final boss is pretty easy. Dogi shows up and punches a wall. Feena exists I guess. 6/10

Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails 7/10: Pretty fun action rpg, little more basic in terms of story telling and characters compared to the main Trails games but still enjoyable.

Beat Metaphor Refantazio: 9/10 Some of the best characters and story Atlus has ever done! There's never any real low point in the game, Hashino takes everything he's put from Persona, DDS and Nocturne and creates an amazing fantasy game that sets the groundwork for more. Gallica is also best girl!
