After raging at Birth By Sleep yesterday, I decided to try out a different game today. Going through suggestions, one name stuck out to me, primarily because it was a large font, bolded, and red. The game was Ys Seven.
THE GAME IS FREAKIN' SWEET. The combat is really fun, as well as the simple skill system. The first Turtle boss was great to fight. Dodging around, rolling in for the attack, and slaughtering it mercilessly. The opening almost killed me as I just had to run around town 50 times talking to everybody until the correct events transpired, but once I got to the actual fighting, the interest came back. I actually died against the first titanos (sorry if I get something wrong, just started playing) the first time I played, so I loaded my save and leveled up to about level 6 with Adol and Dogi. I then proceeded to destroy the Two Headed Turtle with my fully upgraded armor and third weapons (first weapon given to you, synthesized weapon, second weapon in the shop list). The damage counter didn't have a chance to even fade until we entered the end phase where I had to get the new power.
tl;dr This game is awesome.
