    Video Review

    Writes Neo:

    Ys III: Wanderers From Ys is a strange game for the Ys series.

    It’s a sidescroller action game the only of it’s kind for Ys.

    I ignored this game for many years, but recently I played through it on my stream.

    In this video I go over why I didn’t play Ys III initially, why I played it, highlights of my stream for the game, what I think of Ys III and then also just some dumb comedy sprinkled in.

    The video is below, so check it out!

    Wrote Neo last week in a community post on his YouTube channel:

    As for Falcom stuff if something comes along which sparks me to make a video I will make it . . . and I’m going to start a PC Engine version playthrough of Ys III pretty soon here.

    Soon afterward, in another community post, Neo wrote:

    So in the previous post I said I was gonna play the PC Engine version of Ys III and indeed I did.

    The playthrough of the game was finished in under 6 hours and it was some very fun old school fashion side scroller action!

    I don’t know why it took me so long to play it but I’m glad I did!

    For players who wish to check out the stream VOD of the complete playthrough, see below.

    So, what do you think? Have you played Ys III? If so, which version of Ys III do you like the most?

    Writes Neo after livestreaming a complete playthrough of the Whirlwind mod as part of the Whirlwind Four-Job Fiesta (FJF) event (VOD here):

    Hi there! In this video I describe my experience with a Final Fantasy V speed running event! I’m not a speed runner but I had a really good time. This speed running event was special as it used a modified version of Final Fantasy V called Whirlwind with many crazy changes to the game.

    Writes Neo after livestreaming a complete playthrough of FFV on YouTube (playlist here):

    Final Fantasy V is often under looked or underrated and I too am guilty of overlooking this game, until today that is. This is my review of Final Fantasy V using my tried and true holy trinity reviewing system.
