Yeah I started last night. Just finished all the Tigre mine stuff. I've been playing Felghana along with this for the month.

Steam has Oath on sale. Damn. I didn't know PCFX Fans had so much clout!

I beat that boss today! Now I'm in that gear maze. Ugh, I wish I had more ring power! :D

Near the end. Just finished up Valestine Castle. Should have the game done today. I'm still playing Felghana. At Mount Seiko for now. Hope to play it some more today.  Got a new computer case so I'll probably be setting that up as well as a new phone for my wife. That's always fun. Lol. Hope everyone had a good Christmas.

Nice on the finish necro. I'm at the Island now. Should have it done by new years. Still playing Felghana as well. I'm at Valistine Castle in Felghana.


Edit: Finally finished Ys 3 that night. Was a blast to play through again. Has been ages.






I gotta say the game has a fantastic ending. I have always enjoyed it.

I played through this the afternoon after I beat Ys 2.  I always thought this game was a bit of a disappointment.  I beat it so easily years back that it didn't seem like the greatest successor to the legacy left by the first 2 games.  With that said, it's still a worthwhile play today as it was 30 years ago.  The scrolling backgrounds (aside from in town) look pretty good overall.  The soundtrack is Excellent; I like it more than Felghana's.  And the voice acting?  Well, it's laughably bad. 

All told, I'm happy to have played through it again before moving on to Ys 4.
