Just finishing the last parts of this game, I am trying to farm all the components to make every item, looking forward to Felghana and 1-2 for sure. Perfect timing to finish, on to VC2.

Oy. Very late game spoilers.
Gave the Moon dragon a quick run. His first form was pretty easy, but his second form can do a heapin helping of damage if you get caught. It sucks that (as long as I lasted) his tail is the only thing you can damage for a good bit. Gotta figure out the best way to save up some money so I can get some fancy new weapons and armor at Iska! Might as well head back to the water sanctum and level up my other party people as well.

Hmm, I have to admit I was pretty drunk when I fought
the moon dragon
I'm curious, is there a trinket besides the Knight's Crest that can aid me in leveling up my team quickly? (keep in mind that I'm at the end of the game and I never got the Fortune Orb because I didn't get the ingredients for Quest 3 until after it was unavailable)

I wish you could change difficulty on the fly. Final boss(es) were way too easy, took just like 2-3 special abilities each to wipe the floor of them. Didn't help that I had max gear, lv 10 skills and was Lv 74-76, but that was just from my usual obsession with having to get every item synthesized.
Thinking about doing a nightmare run after a month or two break.

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.

The area before the final boss is good, plus you can hunt for a specific stone/rock there that creates the strongest weapons via synthesizing.

60-61. I was very lucky actually.
Adol's HP was around 15-30 and I had no more healing items. That was during the last part of the final boss.

Been busy, but making progress again.
Beat Earth Dragon second attempt, first form is crazy easy. Second form was a bit of a bitch but fine with a full stock of healing items. I really need to finish this up soonish.

Finished the game this evening. The last boss WAS pretty easy with just a few extra levels.
Finished the game with everyone at lvl 63-65, and had little trouble (also ended up with most of my health items still in tow).
I was a little disappointed that the game doesn't save for clear data when you complete the game. Did I miss something??

I wouldn't go with nightmare. The bosses take forever.

Imo, the first boss is one of the hardest, only because you don't have that many items to work with, and your health is relatively low. By the end of the game, you can drink potions like water. :lol

Beat Moon Dragon on Hard Difficulty. Not too bad at 51. Pentagram is a BEAST of a skill.
Final Dungeon and bosses last too long? I'd like to finish this up soon or I'm going to putting an awful lot of games on the backburner.

It's kind a stupid complaint I know, but is anyone kind of bothered by the image on the spine? It looks they've got part of the Ys logo on there, I'm assuming they intend to complete it on the spines of the other two games, but I organize my games by their place in the series, and not their release date. Which means the image isn't going to make any sense.

If anyone is selling their OST from the premium bundle PM me.
I'm thinking of playing the older ones now.
Great idea! Ys is a great series.

Shit. Last boss fight phase 1 placed my three least used characters together :lol. Time to grind!

beat the second boss. i think i need to remember to use the charge attack more often whenever possible instead of beating bosses with 400 weak attacks :lol
the OST is as great as every other Ys soundtrack so far, i'm feeling it. i notice the colorful presentation has gotten rare if you go for the most hyped RPG these days, feels like a breath of fresh air. and omg, this game runs so smooth and it does it without looking ugly, i'm impressed.
but the outer box of the premium edition is a piece of shit. it got beat up in the shipping process, that's cheap cardboard for you. at least the contents are fine and sturdy.

the third boss kicked me around like a toy. i don't know how i beat him, but i think i drank every potion available.
that was a huge jump in difficulty, my fingers need a rest. so damn satisfying!

Just finished it. 8/10
Last boss was pretty hard. I stocked up on all potions (minus the +2000HP one since you have to synth them), and I still ended up eating all of them, barely surviving.
I really love having this party:
a) Adol, best equips, mastered Pentagram, Crimson Jewel (1/2 SP usage)
b) Aisha, focused on just charged attacks, Battle Bandanna (x2 SP gain)
c) Dogi, pretty much just there lol, maybe with that accessory that grants SP with damage.
Combined with Ares' Urn, I could use Extra every 2-3 Pentagrams. I could fill up SP extremely quick.
Started Nightmare Mode, stuck on the turtle boss but this was solely because of my refusal to grind or dodge. I love Flash Guarding.

It's bullcrap how they suddenly forced you to use all members. I had to restart because of it, and retry because I messed up a lot with the second form. Adol laid the pwnage by himself.

Scias and Tia went down HARD and FAST.

Dogi and Cruxie are really OPed, their SP skills that is.
Beat the game on Normal last night. The ending could've been better but was an overall fun ride.
My main characters were: Adol, Dogi, & Aisha with their Ultimate/Soul items. All around lvl 60.
All the other characters were wearing up to date armor and weapons but not their ultimates. I rarely used them or their skills.

So I started this game last night, it's actually really damn fun. Story is serviceable though I already know where it's going times ten but still enjoyable.
I heard this game was supposed to be quite easy but I actually had some trouble on the first boss at the shrine, I guess I was just overzealous rather than taking it slow.
Good game though!

And finished on Hard. 24 hours, 7 minutes.
Overall, terrific gameplay and terribly dry/boring story. I don't skip much dialogue in games, but this made me want to. Almost makes me want to put down JRPGs for a bit. Then again, I'm playing BBS soon, so that'll probably put me back in the mood for something less convoluted.
You've probably already finished it, but that's not uncommon. I came in at 53 and beat the game with Adol at 63 and everyone else at 61. The area before the final boss is good for grinding, can get a level every 5-10 minutes with the EXP trinket.
Took me a bit to fight my way up to Adol, but once I was there I cleaned shop. Rank 10 Penta does almost as much as an Extra skill.

I've been really busy at work this past couple weeks but I simply couldn't go on without spend some time with the game each day... Finally beat it this morning and I'm in tears because of how good the game was. You are a monster if you don't buy this game! I really think this is the best Ys ever made.

I'd say this game first, since it's probably the shortest among the other 2. Followed by Lunar, then followed by P3P (it's quite long, longer if you decide to collect all the demons).

beat the fourth boss. best decision to play on nightmare for me. either you play perfectly or you die.
the music kicks so much ass and i have so many more tracks to look forward to

Ok, endgame related stuff (haven't beaten it, but only people that have should look)!
Also, I thought there was an accessory or something that would increase rare items received, because getting a ton of soul stones is a pain in the ass, though I can do it along with my leveling up!
Is the last boss a set of battles in the sense that when I beat Scias, it goes straight to the fight after? Or can I go back and save beforehand?

Rargh. Last boss rage.
My levels are around 60 minimum from all, with Adol at 65.
Made it to the second phase before I got whipped. Seemed a bit easier compared to the first one which was just annoying. Wasted way too many items on the first one! Everyone has their best armor and only 3 are missing their highest possible weapon.

Just remember to take you time in the 3rd part. Also one of your characters should try equipping an anti-freeze accessory (like Dogi). Also flash guard would definitely help.
