Ys 4: Mask of the Sun
Oct. 3rd, 2010 11:17 amGiven my new emulator rig setup makes such things easy, I played through Ys 4: Mask of the Sun, one of several games in the series produced for the Super Famicom and never officially brought to the US.
( My feelings are pretty similar to the other games in the series, really. )
Overall, this was a rehash of the first two games after the changes to the third one apparently weren't well-recieved. It's only worth it if you liked the original control scheme, style and difficulty level of those games.
Aeon Genesis is working on a translation of Ys 5, which apparently added an attack button, a jump button, and significantly better graphics. I'm not sure why--apparently I have too much series loyalty for my own good--but I suspect I'll play that when it's available, too.
