Re: Review: Ys IX: Monstrum Nox - A Fine Action-RPG With Performance Issues On Switch

@riChchestM How can Ys VIII be overrated when the VAST MAJORITY of gamers out there, let alone Nintendo fans, haven't even played it in order to heap any sort of praise on it?

I played it after FF7R and I can honestly say it was one of the greatest gaming experiences I ever had, graphics be damned. I thought FF7R was just okay.

Ys VIII floored me with how much I ended up loving it.

The combat. The characters. The setting. The music. Everything came together so cohesively. Every item and gameplay system had a purpose and fit into everything. And most importantly, the game felt wonderful to control and play once I tweaked the button layout and camera controls to my liking.

Overrated? Hardly. It's one of the most endearing and likeable video games I ever played in my life. MORE people need to play Ys VIII and experience its unforgettable cast and lightning-fast gameplay.
