Overview

Description

Renowned adventurer Adol “the Red” Christin and his companion Dogi arrive at Balduq, a city annexed by the Romun Empire, only for Adol to be detained before setting foot inside. While imprisoned, he meets a mysterious woman named Aprilis who turns him into a Monstrum, a being with supernatural Gifts and the power to exorcise monsters. Now, Adol must ally with his fellow Monstrums to fend off the fearsome threats emerging from a shadowy dimension called the Grimwald Nox, as well as unravel the mysteries of the Monstrum curse, and the truth behind the unrest within Balduq.

The story is as expected, I love the world design. I would recommend this game to others who like RPG games but still unable to decide on JRPG's, This is a great introduction. The English Dubbed Voices are well done.

The latest entry in the Ys series, Ys IX, is another unforgettable experience. Although not as good as Ys VIII, it takes the Ys formula and turns it on its head by adding more party members and giving you a full city that can be explored using new unique powers. The story also has a few twists and turns which keeps you guessing.

One of the most entertaining games I have played. I recently got into the Ys series, starting with VII on PC, and origins on PS4. Those games are pretty good, but I gotta say Ys IX just blows it out the water. You can tell Falcom put in a lot of work into this game and they really took this series to the next level with this installment. The story is deep, the character development is great, and the combat is very fun. The graphics are not next gen, but after awhile you realize that the game is actually very beautiful in its own way. I went into this game not expecting that much, but I have been pleasantly surprised and I'm loving it so far. 9/10 get it before it sells out and becomes rare like Ys 8.

Different from YS 8 and the rest of the series, but still a good time. Its a lot shorter too which isn't a bad thing. Would recommend

I really enjoy the Ys series. Ys VIII was great, and at first I wasn’t sure how I would enjoy the change from the large and lush Island setting of that game to this game which is based mostly around one, albeit large, location. Fortunately the story is set up so that the focus in a single location makes sense and the game design allows you to make good use of your powers to explore the city. The color palette in this game is definitely more muted than VIII and overall this game isn’t going to wow you graphically, but my enjoyment of YS has always come from the characters and story, and this entry doesn’t disappoint. I always have such fond memories of the characters when I look back at these games.

Ys 9 is great. Exploring, characters, and battle system are legit. Very good music as well. Ysily one of the top games in the franchise.

Every Ys game is incredibly fun, and this game is no exception. Played through this on PS5, and it played phenomenally. Five stars.

I have been an Ys fan since Ys 3 on the Super Nintendo and this series is so wonderful. Adol is a very intriguing protagonist and the stories just keep getting more interesting. While not the best story of all the Ys games, this one is one of the better ones with a crazy plot twist near the end of the game. Highly recommended if you are an Ys fan or overall Action RPG fan.
