   Just finished the game recently and... man. How does a game like this stay under the radar for so long? I only recently got into the Ys seriesJust finished the game recently and... man. How does a game like this stay under the radar for so long? I only recently got into the Ys series and this was undoubtedly the best portable RPG I've ever played. Usually I start to get bored of a game like this around the 30 hour mark, but Ys Seven didn't feel repetitive to me since you're always gaining new powers and each dungeons always introduce new kinds of obstacles. To me the gameplay and length are perfect, my only complaint is that while the story is good, I feel like it could have been conveyed much better. The amazing soundtrack does well to set the mood, but if the game had voice acting and more cinematic cutscenes than people standing in place with speech bubbles, that could've gone a long way. I'm still giving it a 10 though as I thoroughly enjoyed the game from start to finish.… Expand

   First time i see this game, i just like "it's just same like the others RPG games out there" but Ys 7 is totally different than others evenFirst time i see this game, i just like "it's just same like the others RPG games out there" but Ys 7 is totally different than others even the graphic is not good as Final Fantasy but the gameplay is better than Final Fantasy. First of all, the fast strike and dodge system. You can easily dodge the enemy's attack just by a single button and if you charged up your sword and hit the enemy, not just increasing your damage but refill your Sp too. The second one is the boss fight and skill, the music is awesome, the boss is difficult to fight and the battle is just epic! You can learn a new skill when you got a new weapon, level up your skill and you can set the skill up for easily use while in battle. Not to mention it, the party system. Adol is the one who can use three type of attack and it's totally a bless for me. Easy to change the character while in battle to match with enemy's weakness, and if you have a character who using the same type of attack like Adol, you can simply change adol's weapon to change the type of Adol's attack. If you searching for non-type of turn-based RPG, Ys 7 is the answer… Expand

It's a game that has been created for the purpose of fun, with no ambitions. the game does not have a highly elaborate story or a pre-rendered animations that make us fall on my ass. We just offer us fun, as was done once before in that the graphics were one of the most important in the mind of every newcomer to the world gamer.

The gameplay is fast-paced and engaging, the story is compelling with constant twists and turns, and the translation is top-notch. The only critique I have is that, compared to Felghana, this game is too easy. I recommend playing it on Hard mode if you've played Felghana, because Ys Seven's Normal mode is nowhere near as challenging as Felghana's Normal mode.… Expand

   A lot of the PSP RPGs you pick up at your local game store are ports from other platforms. So, as soon as I heard that Ys Seven was beingA lot of the PSP RPGs you pick up at your local game store are ports from other platforms. So, as soon as I heard that Ys Seven was being made from the ground up for the PSP, it became an instant day one purchase for me. What's the difference between a port and an original game for the PSP? Load times are fast, the graphics look amazing, and gameplay designs can be implemented with the PSP in mind. That's the case with Ys Seven. Ys (pronounced like the eace in peace) Seven is actually the 7th game in the line of Ys games, but you don't have to play the prior ones. It's a standalone title made for people who may not be familiar with the series. The gameplay is fun and takes place in real time. You will travel the world and encounter and fight with enemies without any changes. You swing by hitting X, open up menu by hitting triangle, etc. The game is sort of an action RPG that's more RPG than action.
   
   If you are an RPG fan looking for something new to play on your PSP, you can't go wrong with Ys Seven. For 30 bucks, the amount of game you get is astounding especially considering it's an RPG and built solely for the PSP.… Expand

   Great game. On a technical level, loading times are nil, framerate is smooth, menus and buttons are user-friendly. The gameplay is the starGreat game. On a technical level, loading times are nil, framerate is smooth, menus and buttons are user-friendly. The gameplay is the star here and it's fast, furious and fun, and perfect for a portable system. Think Secret of Mana but refined and much faster, and you have an idea of the gameplay. Quick-switching between characters is a breeze and very fun, and the boss battles are epic. Music, as with most Falcom games, is excellent, though not quite up to the standard set by Ys I & II Complete. Only negatives would be slightly grainy visuals and a slightly saggy plot, but Ys games have never been about huge narratives, instead focusing on tight gameplay and great music.… Expand

Adol also traded his jumping ability for a roll, which, while it worked, not being able to jump made the animations go all funky when he would go down a slope, etc. The gameplay was no longer as action packed as it had been before, either. And last but not least, the translation was horrendous and throwing gamers names into the game because of some stupid contest Xseed ran really pissed me off because it made the world of Ys look so ridiculous as the names were completely out of place. I can't recommend this game to those who have played the other games in the series.… Expand
