    Writes Neo:

    The Ys series is a master class in action JRPGs. This is a remake of my video with the same name . . . . There are a few differences other than the audio considering there’s been changes with the Ys series since then and a shift on my opinions as well.

    The video is below, so check it out!

    So, what do you think? If you are new to the series, which Ys game would you like to start with? If you’re an existing Ys player, which entry have you enjoyed the most?
