Boring boss fights
This review is being written from the perspective of someone whose only other Ys game was Origins, so my expectations of this game are colored by that, even if this game may be a better entry when talking about the series as a whole. Similar to Origins, there isn't all that much interesting or complex outside of boss fights. I don't mind these segments too much in either game as I think of them as down time so I don't mind them being simple and this isn't were my big problem with the game comes in. My biggest issue is that boss fights are boring. Since you're going to have 3 people fighting the boss at any one time the devs need to balance around all party members having the strongest available gear at a certain level hitting the boss at once. The problem with this is that the party members aren't always working towards hurting the boss so boss fights drag on way too long. This isn't so much a problem with the party system itself as much as it is a side effect. I think there isn't much issue with the system conceptually. Having different party members with different moves and different attack types can add a nice bit of variety. I think the system would've really benefited from just having one character out at a time and balancing around that level of damage output. You could also bump up the amount of damage bosses do to compensate for them not being able to hit all party members at once. Now onto the boss mechanics. Simply, there aren't that many and they tend to be simple and don't impact you as much as I feel they should. The first boss with would I could actually call a mechanic and not just an animation you need to dodge is the third boss and it's the basic "hit this to reveal weakpoint" and "there's going to be a couple mobs summoned." Compared to even the second boss of Origins this is a bit of a letdown. There are a couple issues I have with how skills work, but I can't really explain it due to character limit. I should mention I want to give 3.5 stars.
