Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA GBAtemp review
A great new adventure awaits fans of the series and those looking to try out Ys for the first time should have their fair amount of fun.
75%Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana Review – Adventurous And Enthralling
Lost in Blue meets Xenoblade is not a matchup I would have ever thought of, but it’s a solid one with a great foundation of fun combat, great premise, amazing music and nice story. The few problems it has are pervasive and distracting, but never enough to really turn you off. While it doesn’t have a volleyball character, I’d still recommend it to most any RPG fan.

Nihon Falcom has crafted yet another fantastic entry in the Ys series. The same great gameplay and storytelling elements that have become synonymous with the series, along with exceptional graphics. Sure, the top-down view has been replaced but the new 3D graphics help brings the world to life and I enjoyed the voice lines. Combine that with some enjoyable character development and a game that spans over 40+ hour and you got a game that you won’t want to put down for a while.
