Together RPG - Ys III - 7/11 --> 9/11

[Czernobog]

I finished Ys III on Super Famicom and found it kind of lackluster. I think I maxed out my stats too early, because the game became rather easy. The only boss fight where I didn't just have to equip a ring and run up Rambo style was the final boss, which still wasn't that difficult. I enjoyed the story more than the gameplay in this one even though it was a simple story. I think I would have had a better experience if it wasn't on Super Famicom since the hit detection seemed a little wonky. I still enjoyed playing the game though and I'm glad I picked it up because I'm really getting into the series after I played seven. It looks like Oath is worth plaything through as well, and I'll give it a go, but it might not be for a while.

I have Ys I & II Chronicles on PSP, so I'll probably jump into those after I'm done with my current PSP game (hate switching UMDs - will never finish games if I do).

Oath PC: Currently in Valestine Castle, I think I'm almost to the Clock Tower part. Love the music here, keeps ya pumped.

I flipped between all three soundtrack choices. I think I like the X68000 score the best overall.

Love the music in this game, yet another reason why I need to pick up the Turbo CD version eventually. It's hard to beat those Turbo soundtracks.

I just finished this game too. Beat Galbalan at Level 51.

[BoneSnapDeez]

Heh same level as me. Seems to be the sweet spot.

[TheSSNintendo]

I hit the Boost to give me a few extra hit points so that I could survive at the end of the battle.

Oath PC: Just made it to Genos island last night.

Been too busy, need to dive back into this one. I think I need to head back to the mines or something?

Oath PC: I'm at the black throne now.* I'm level 50. Not sure if I'm the right level for this or not. I'll probably do a bit more grinding, as is this game's wont.

*It's called the black throne in the fan translated version, which is what I'm playing. I don't know what it's called in the Steam version.

[BoneSnapDeez]

I'm pretty sure XSEED essentially purchased the fan translation, but don't quote me on that. They could have tweaked and changed some things as well.

Are you playing a physical PC copy? I'd like to get one but they are pricey.
