In the context of 1989, Ys I & II must have seemed overwhelming. From an American’s perspective, it might be tempting to think that the Action RPG genre got good with Secret of Mana-but there’s so much more behind history’s curtain. It’s understandable why the original personal computer iterations from the late 1980s were entirely incompatible with western Operating Systems, and the PC Engine bombed internationally, so their primary home console ports never reached a broad English-speaking audience. The early Ys games rarely seem to get much recognition in the western wing of the world.
