The Ys series remains a popular, but well-kept secret in the JRPG game world.
Here’s how every game fits into the series' timeline.
Just ensure to grind as much as possible while you do so: you’ll need it.
Here are the most memorable dungeons in the game.
You’ll learn quickly to overwhelm enemies before they can get hits in on you.
From Ys to The Legend of Heroes, these are the best Falcom RPGs.
7lllburns Ruins
Ancient Pagan Site
The Illburns Ruins serve as your first brush with puzzle-solving.
Upon obtaining the Ignis bracelet, you’ll notice that certain pathways aren’t open.
The solution: lighting unlit torches on the walls using your handy-dandy fireball ring.
You’ll also learn what abilities are available to you while jumping and how to time them right.
It also ends in a memorable encounter with a character central to the game’s admittedly flimsy plot.
You’d be wrong.
The Abandoned Mine is home to secret treasures that shouldn’t be missed.
All in a day’s work for Adol.
The Icebound Cave is filled with dangerous platforming sections, puzzling passages, and dead ends.
They’re not as chill as they seem, though.
Luckily, once you find the Stone Shoes, you’ll have a much easier time exploring.
This dungeon also has a veritable smorgasbord of treasures within.
You’ll also encounter NPCs in Valestein Castle.
When you find the villainous Count McGuire’s family, be sure to talk to the daughter twice.
She will give you a plot-essential item that is never hinted at otherwise.
This is a remaster of an old adventure game, after all.
You’ll have to pull levers and get cogwheels turning to make your way through.
Clock Tower has some sections that feel like a direct tribute to the Stormy Ascent level in Crash Bandicoot.
If it’s an intentional homage, it’s a very clever one.
This dungeon starts with Adol getting kicked off a ledge and falling a long way to the ground below.
When he emerges, he’s surrounded by lava and hellish enemies.
But does our favorite red-haired underdog give up?
