This is an action role-playing game and the third game to be considered Ys IV, after Ys IV: Mask of the Sun and Ys IV: The Dawn of Ys, but it is the first to be developed by Nihon Falcom, who developed the rest of the Ys series. Within the series canon, it supersedes previous versions of Ys IV. The game stars series hero Adol Christin, who begins the game with amnesia, as he explores the forests of Celceta. The game takes place one year after the events of Ys II and about a year before the story of Ys: The Oath in Felghana, set in the land of Celceta, also known as the Great Forest of Celceta. The story begins when the series's protagonist, Adol Christin, arrives in the town of Casnan with amnesia, due to unknown reasons. Then, he meets an information dealer, Duren, who claims to have met him before. Not knowing about his true identity or objectives in Celceta, Duren provides him assistance in searching for his lost memories around Celceta and thus awakens the adventurer spirit within him. Gameplay is similar to other Ys titles; it is an action-RPG featuring real-time combat. In addition to a standard attack button, special moves called Skills can be utilized by pressing certain button combinations. Throughout most of the game, the main protagonist Adol is accompanied by Duren, but other party members also join at different times. Each member has a specific attack type classified into three types: Slash, Strike, and Pierce. Some enemies are weak against a certain type of attack and are resistant to the other two; other enemies have no particular weakness and thus any attack type is effective. A maximum of three characters can be used at a time, and can be switched on-the-fly. Each character has a powerful move called an EXTRA move that can only be used when the EXTRA meter is filled. Various accessories can be equipped giving various passive bonuses. The eight different statistics of weapons and armor can be customized by reinforcing with different minerals, plant and animal materials. An English version was released on July/2018. | ||
