9.5/10
Story has never been the pull of the Ys franchise for me, though, and if you're not yet familiar with the series, it's not why you should give this game a chance. And make no mistake: You should give Ys 8: Lacrimosa of Dana a chance. Developer Nihon Falcom has always been talented, but this project represents a new high for the studio, a game where each piece comes together and interlocks in a way that feels damn near perfect. Don't let the obscure name fool you; forgettable story aside, this is one of the best action-RPGs of this generation.

Between building up your base, making new discoveries, and fighting intense boss battles, Ys VIII is a hard adventure to put down

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.

Solid overall. wish the ending was too.

I really can't say anything bad about this game, at least outside the ending. It is a very solid action RPG and a great place for the modern gamer to get their first taste of Adol's adventures. If you've been looking into trying out the Ys games, enjoy. If you, like me, have spent a lot of time with Adol, its still a great game and even adds some extra variety compared to what most of the series has offered so far. Either way, enjoy yourself. You are in for a good time.

A Disappointing Port to a Good Game

The base game is fine. Unfortunately, the PC port is not good at the moment. It's V-Sync doesn't work at all, there are severe audio issues, it has trouble defaulting to my preferred controller, and the game will randomly crash. Hopefully with time and a couple of patches, this port will be in a playable state, but right now it's not. My Specs: -Windows 10 Pro -NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 -AMD Ryzen 7 1800X Eight-Core Processor @ 3.60 GHz 16 Core(s) -32 GB of RAM -Gigabyte AX370-Gaming motherboard

Falcom's best game to this day

The character limit is way too low for my review, it can be read at the following link. https://rpgcodex.net/forums/index.php?threads/ys-series.95745/page-37#post-6545522
