The previous entry in the series, Ys VIII: Lacrimosa Of Dana, is now available on PC, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. The game is one of the best entries in the series as well as one of the best action role-playing games released in recent times.
It took years for Falcom to develop the perfect entry in the series, and with Ys VIII: Lacrimosa Of Dana, they finally managed to do so by refining the renewed story focus and gameplay mechanics introduced in Ys Seven without taking away what makes the series so enjoyable. With a well-executed, albeit not really original story, charming cast, fast paced battle system, engaging boss battles, tight challenge level and plenty of side-content, Ys VIII: Lacrimosa Of Dana is without a doubt the best entry in the series and one of the best action role-playing games released this year.
Ys IX Monstrum Nox launches in Japan on PlayStation 4 before the end of the year, A Western release has yet to be confirmed.
