Pros & Considerations

Foundation

Elemental swords, jumping attacks and fast dungeon movement established the template refined by Origin and Felghana.

Battles

Real-time movement, timing and ability use make execution and positioning part of every encounter

Progression

Equipment, skills or party systems provide persistent build choices between encounters

Consider

Platforming: Manual jumps and older collision feel can be imprecise compared with later Ys games.
