Adol is the unluckiest protagonist in the RPG world. He can't step into any city, town or country without being accused of something.

I’m 35 hours in and chapter 7. The more the game progresses the better it gets. What a fantastic game

[WaterFooLTon]

My friend lent me Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana about two years ago. I have zero knowledge of what the game franchise is but I am really glad I had the opportunity to play it. The story is for me is outstanding and touching, and has one of the greatest soundtracks in a game I've ever heard. One of the best action adventure games I've ever played. A game worthy of a Platinum Trophy playthrough and beyond. Thank you very much Nihon Falcolm for the wonderful gaming experience.

Got into Ys because of you, currently playing through Ys Origin!

[Eagleknight]

Thank you Johnny!! It was because of you I got into Ys few years ago. Now I'm collecting collector editions and living all the cool little knickknacks! Setting our minds at Ys.

[TheLoneGamr]

I love that in this game they question why Adol keeps losing his equipment. It is funny.

"how often do we get a new Y's game ? Once every four years ?"

Ys is so underrated, started with 8, then Celceta, and I’ll wind up playing this one sooner or later. No regrets about any of the ones I’ve played so far.

[wboeren]

You are the authority in this series. So i value your opinion.

Ys IX reviewed by a genuine Ys fan, thank you Johnny!

[danholo]

Falcom games are about gameplay and music. The graphics aren't "great" but they're adequate and that's fine!

[Ristyo]

This is DEFINITELY my favourite Ys game!
(Then again I'm saying that about every new entry)

[moonjellykevin]

I haven't popped it in yet. I'm glad to hear the quality is still high. I've been too lazy to shoot a video where I unbox the NiS limited edition, but I suppose later today is the day. (What good time to be alive when you're too lazy to unbox a thing!)

I feel the through line for all Ys games is how addictive the combat is.

That Roy Focker jacket gets cooler every time I see it

[moreirarubem]

I was waiting so much for your thoughts! I am glad you enjoyed your experience and took your time! It is a great game and it is awesome to hear it from one of the biggest fans of ys out there! Great job, man!

[iamaeris]

Ys VIII still the best for me. I love exploring the island. The music is much much more memorable. But Ys IX is still great. One of the best RPG.

[ShinkeiDEI]

Man, I started playing Ys because of you and Joe from Gamesack, I cannot thank you enough.

[TheCompletionist]

I'm actually to hear that it turned out to be a really pleasant experience for you and it's nice to see Ys be consistent with regards to delivering quality content when it comes to their gameplay. It makes me wonder how many books there are going to be with regards to the ys storyline and how much more story is there with regards to adol's adventures. Falcom has always found a way to keep their series relevant while finding a way to innovate each ys game in order to make it a fresh and rewarding experience. I haven't played many ys games but it's still nice to see the series going strong and hopefully attracting new fans in the process.

[MegaJoeMeister]

Hey Johnny!! Just wanted to say thank you for everything you do on this channel and being the one that introduced me to Ys back in 2013 when I watched one of your videos. Since then I have went through all the games starting with Ys: Oath of Falghana and Ys Seven. I instantly fell infatuated with the games and have recommended the series to friends and coworkers to spread awareness. So thank you for being the guy responsible for really showcasing Ys on YouTube and spreading the love for it man. You have no idea how many people have gotten into Ys because of you and that’s awesome!!!!

[AquaFubuki]

Thanks for spreading enthusiasm for this series, I decided to give the series another chance because of you and the people at Digital Emelas. Since last year I've played through the whole series (except 5 which we don't have in the west and 6 which I still have to play) in anticipation of 9 :)
