I played it on the Switch and it's one of my favourite RPGs on the system.
This is a ridiculously good good with insane amounts to do, character development, and story. It's wild to me how much the original game had and wasn't DLC or a separate game.
Its odd, because I played the crap out of VIII, but hardly got into Monstrum Nox and am not even sure if I'm getting Nordics when it comes out on Switch. I probably will, but I feel like the series peaked with Dana.
IX wasn't nearly as good as VIII, IMO. The movement and combat felt good but the pacing was awful (too Trails-like) and the story and characters were nothing special.
Spoiler about Monstrum Nox and Lacrimosa of Dana.
Tap for spoiler
Dana technically shows up in Monstrum Nox, and that game kind of continues alluding to themes from Lacrimosa, depending on your interpretation.Hmmm. Maybe I'll give it another go. I only got about two or three hours in before I moved onto other items in the backlog.
I think most Ys games are slow to start and easy to let go of, but if you hang in there, the stories eventually reach a point at least for me that I can't stop.
