Ys 6 is definitely fun, but I find it weaker than the other ones I recently played (Ys: Origins, Ys I and II, The Oath in Felghana). It is shorter and much easier than the other ones, the story is somewhat too simple, the soundtrack is not as good as it normally is with Ys games and I found myself looking at walkthroughs a bit too often to get important items. I still recommend it if you are a JRPG and Ys fan.
Though the ambiance (soundtrack, graphics, gameplay) is exactly the same as the great original Gothic 3, the content (quests, dialogues, voice acting, etc.) is pure cr*p. Buggy as hell, you can't even finish most of the quests due to numerous problems in the quest lines. Voice acting is ridiculous, dialogues are useless and quests that actually work are too easy. Buy at your own risk!
