Game Summary:
Ys Seven (イース7) is an action role-playing video game developed by Nihon Falcom. An installment in the Ys series, it was first released in Japan for the PlayStation Portable in September 2009, and later by Xseed Games in North America in August 2010, in Europe in November 2010, and in Australia in February 2013. It was also released for Microsoft Windows in China in June 2012, and worldwide in English in August 2017.
Plot:
Adol and Dogi reach the kingdom of Altago in an attempt to find more adventure. While exploring the town, they get into trouble trying to save two sisters who were being harassed by the local Dragon Knights, which is the army force of Altago. They are thrown into the cells but thanks to their reputation as adventurers, they get a request from the king to help him investigate some strange earthquakes going on lately, as his men have not been able to find anything. On their way, they find out the Five Dragons are awakening once again to prevent a great catastrophe, lending their power to Adol to help stop it.
Gameplay:
In previous Ys titles, players had to switch between elemental weapons or magic types to damage monsters and bosses. In this game, weapon types are used to determine whether damage is enhanced or minimized. Slashing weapons deal enhanced damage to soft enemies. Striking weapons deal enhanced damage to hard and armored enemies. Piercing weapons deal enhanced damage to flying enemies, lightweight enemies, and/or agile enemies. If an enemy other than a boss has a weakness against a weapon type, it will take an insignificant amount of damage or no damage at all from attacks that do not match that weakness. There are also enemies that are not weak or strong against any weapon types, so all weapons will deal normal amounts of damage from any weapon type.
A party can have up to three characters in it with the player controlling one of them. The two other members are controlled by the AI while in combat and it is possible to set how they attack. All playable characters except for Adol must use weapons that fit a damage type assigned to that character, while Adol can use swords which are usually assigned any one of the three weapon types. For example, Dogi can only use punching weapons which all deal striking damage.
Hitting enemies with charged attacks fills a skill point meter that allows characters to perform skills. Skills are taught by using different weapons, and are permanently learned by using those skills enough, allowing the skill to be used with any weapon the character uses. Further use of a skill allows the user to enhance the skill. There is also an extra meter that when filled, allows the character the player controls to perform a super attack. Landing finishing blows with skills is the normal way to fill the extra meter.
Players can also parry attacks in order to reduce damage. A parry is known as a ”flash guard”. If the player attempts to parry at the same time or shortly before a hit in an attack connects, that hit in the attack is nullified, the SP and extra meters are significantly filled, and successful ripostes are guaranteed to be critical attacks. Attempting to parry with the wrong timing will result in the player taking a critical hit.
Description:
Starting his adventurer career at the age of seventeen, having gone to the ancient floating city of Ys and solved countless mysteries in various dangerous, exotic places, Adol Christin became a legend. His fiery red hair, determined, innocent eyes and his passion for adventures are deeply imprinted into the gamers’ hearts.At the age of 23, 6 years after his adventures in Ys, Adol and his partner Dogi finally had a chance to venture into the Altago, a land he longed to visit. With large beasts roaming, historic ruins, extinct ancient races and the mysterious five great dragons, this is another action RPG that gamers cannot afford to miss.
