I played it recently just for the sake of completionism. I wouldn't say it was a BAD experience but it was deeply unengaging experience. Was mostly just kind of boring. Dull characters, art, and music. Nothing really stands out. the story is barely existent even in the superficial function sense. The color pallet is boring. And I don't like not really having a sense of what anything actually looks like. Maybe this isn't a problem if you had the manual but I remember older Ys games had those cool character portraits and stuff. Here even supposedly important characters are almost indistinguishable from NPCs.
