Killer soundtrack as standard for the series, and the fast travel improvements are nice, but this felt like a pretty bland iteration on the Ys 1 & 2 formula. The original Ys III may not have been great, but it felt like it was trying something new. Even for the standards of the day, this feels like kind of a weak release. Hell, I regularly forgot that magic was even a thing, when it was a core mechanic in Ys 2, so it's even a step back by the standards of its own predecessor.
