NO! You should play the PSP remake of Ys III and compare/contrast to the original.
It's 100 times better than the original.A couple of tips:Stark wrote: Please share said "cheats" I was having a hell of a time with Ys III when I tried playing it.
1. You NEED to learn the jumping mechanics. They're quite awkward. To slash at the peak of your jump, there needs to be a noticeable delay between the push of the jump and attack buttons. Otherwise, you'll do a downward slash or slash too early. It took me a while to get this down, which is a pain because a lot of bosses are located near the top of the screen.
2. Power level early on! In the second dungeon, there's an outdoor section with a bunch of birds divebombing you. You can level up the ASS here. Max out your level and grind until you get enough money to buy the best sword/shield/armor from the town. The next four or five bosses will be a complete cakewalk.
3. Don't fight non-boss enemies after you you've reached the level cap. It's pointless and you'll just end up getting hurt.
4. Relating to the last point (and this is the main "cheat"), abuse the hell out of the save system. When you save and reload, all enemies on the screen will have vanished. In a pinch? Just save and reload. In the second-to-last dungeon, I would save every 20 seconds or so and reload when needed.
5. Following up on the above tip, make sure you get to every boss with full health! If you loose energy from a regular enemy, reload!
6. Use the power ring at bosses, all other rings are useless or nearly useless. Since it drains your magic, only have it equipped when you can actually use it. Some bosses fly around or whatever for awhile, unequip the ring while they're doing this or you'll be wasting your precious magic points. Thankfully you can equip/unequip during battles. Also, use a herb if health gets low, it will restore it completely. Only use herbs at bosses (like I said, don't get hurt by regular enemies)!
