The Ark of Beginnings
And so, Ingwer the Green's journey through the 2.5D-ish era of YS Games from the early 2000s comes to an end - by having played them in completely reversed release order. After some pause between the last released YS game (also called "that one" apparently), Falcom made its comeback with 'The Ark of Napishtim'. While some like it less than its successors, Felghana and Origin, for the sole reason of them having refined the formula, this is where it all started for said trilogy - and not too shabby for a beginning I might add. The controls are more limiting, and anyone who knows this game might roll their eyes when reading the words 'Jump' and 'Dash'. The way magic is handled is also different, as well as progression through equipment and accessories (meaning a bit less... systematic?) All of it feels like the first try handling those things, making them work but not as smooth. But they fit the game, especially as it feels more adventurous in general. The same goes for the difficulty - the game is a lot easier, especially with item usage, then the titles afterwards - however the level balance forces you more into grinding a few levels within a new area instead of an eased progression all the way through it. The bosses are also less extreme in their abilities. Note though, that the game does not have a designated 'Easy' Mode - so making the game easier for yourself by those aspects is a must in that regard. The music is...different. Again, it feels more adventurous - and while it wasn't as memorable for me personally, all of the tracks were great while hearing them. Same as with Felghana, I had to switch off Anti-Aliasing, V-Sync and Z-Sort Polygons to make the game run smooth, even though it should anyways. (See into the config.exe which comes with the game) Overall an awesome game like the other two. While more focused on an adventure and less feeling like a round game, it was very enjoyable through the whole 10+ hours. - And with that, I close my travel diary!
