While I much prefer the elemental weapon combat system in Naphistim, Origin and Felghana, the world map and exploration in Celceta felt like a step up for the series, not that I minded its previous incarnations. This games overworld map is a little more open, but still a far cry from something like Zelda.

The graphics are a step up as well and a very welcome change that makes everything look more slick.

The soundtrack in this one had a number of memorable, energetic tracks as well.

Combat is the same as Ys Seven, button mashy party system that is serviceable but kind of dull. Like in Ys Seven, jump has been replaced with dash. You use your dash and block to evade in combat.

As always with these Ys games, I end up holding down the fast forward button on the dialogue, as it is anime writing and drags on a bit. Like every Ys game, it's heavily story driven but IMO not the worst of its kind and does lend itself to the epic/grand feel of the adventure.

Great action rpg!

One of my life best decision was dropping metaphor and playing this Magnum opus

A really fun ARPG
The combat is solid
The story while nothing amazing is pretty fun to follow and enjoyed the characters
On normal its pretty much on the easy side
The 2nd half was rush or weirdly paced
Overall its pretty fun
