Ys Origin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkAkVt6R4fo Hey it's the Ys game I spent more time playing this year. Ys Origin was originally a 2006 release in Japan, with it coming to PC in 2012. I beat that PC version back then when I played through it with 1 character, but that was all. It got released on PS4 and Vita in 2017 and that's when I finally got into it and played through the game with all 3 characters to get the full story, but also 100% completed the game by doing it all again on Nightmare difficulty and completing the boss rush and arena modes. In total with a cleanup playthrough that was 7 times I played through this game in 2017 + the extra modes. Instead of a trailer the video I used for this one is one of my livestreams I did playing on Nightmare difficulty so check it out if you want to see what the game is like Ys Origin takes place 700 years before the first Ys game and you play 3 characters with their own storylilne (although the 3rd character who you need to unlock by completing the other 2 is considered the canon storyline). Each of the 3 characters plays very differently so it's worth experiencing them all to get the full experience. It's very much a refinement of Ys 6 which came before it which took the classic Ys gameplay and incorporated jumping, attacking and field skills into the series. Ys 5 technically did some of this too, but that never left Japan and wasn't even a very good game so I'm just not counting that here. As you would expect from Ys the action is fast paced and the music is fantastic. The game featured a chaining mechanic for defeated enemies that would boost your EXP and gold earned the longer you kept the chain going. Ys is a series where at times grinding is necessary and Origin makes this fun by challenging you to keep that chain going to keep your boosted rewards going. It's a good starting point for someone wanting to get into Ys (even if it lacks the series main protagonist Adol outside of the Boss Rush and Arena modes) and it gives you all the necessary information you need going into the original Ys 1+2 which ended up getting remade after Origin came out originally so those remakes assume you had played this. I'd still recommend checking out the Turbografix version of 1+2 first, but those remakes are still excellent. Really I just want people to play Ys games.
