Day 27: Ys Oath in Felghana
No meme today, but an absolute banger you hear super early in the game, just take a listen
The Ys series may be familiar to some of you due to a rumour of a Falcom character being added to Smash in like, 2020 so you may be wondering if these games are any good and to me? This is like comfort food. Imagine if Zelda games had more emphasis on combat but a bit less on puzzles and you get Ys! In this game, Adol can smack the hell out of enemies with his swords and magic, not only does it feel good to move around and hit stuff, but enemies don't just drop the usual fare when killed, but they can also drop these items that give you passive boosts like more damage, speed or EXP, these stack and get refreshed so go wild! The story, while simple, is still pretty fun and the cast is generslly charming, but the one thing that makes this game so good to me? The
music. Oh my god, this game's OST is simply divine, I still regularly think of the songs multiple times a week when at work, seriously, just check the one I posted here. The Switch version is pretty expensive compared to the Steam version but that's cause it's an enhanced version with bonus features, but the Steam version should run on most hardware as Falcom were mostly about PC gaming back in the day. Truly, one of the best remakes I've played
