The final form was making me rage. I would get through first 2 without being hit and then it seemed like he was just instantly hittin me with gravity well bullcrap over and over again that was unavoidable damage. I don't even know what I did different on my successful attempt. But I beat it.

Congrats, the final boss is pretty tough with Yunica and completely miserable with Hugo.

I might revisit this game and play as Hugo or the third guy at some point. But from what I understand they travel through the same levels and bosses which is kinda lame/

Hugo is really terrible to play as, imo, predominantly because his aim is tied to his movement direction, but it's worth it because his character is a total rear end in a top hat and his story shits on all the cool, nice stuff that happens in Yunica's version. The third guy is really fun, though, maybe moreso than Yunica.

I can't remember if there was much different for Hugo, but Toal's(?) campaign switches up some of the order of stuff, I think, and the story is fairly different.

how does falcom even make money nowadays?

i'm not complaining, it's just that developing sequels to msx games primarily for vita and pc in japan doesn't seem like it'd cover the bills

is it purely off of soundtrack cd sales? because i can get behind that

Their games still look like PSP games at best so I imagine their art asset creation costs are extremely low and they just make mechanically tight games and sell them to a niche market.

Third guy's story is the one that canonically leads into Ys 1, so.

I think Oath in Felghana is a good jumping-in point, each game is pretty self contained and I think the first 2 are a little too archaic gameplay-wise nowadays

In quote form, if you prefer:

Ys III the Wand'rers of Ys - I fell in love with this when I first played it. It was ported here by Sammy of America and Sammy sucks... My friend jocks them 'cause they have something to do with SNK and...well... SNK sucks now, regardless of what your opinion is, of them... Ys III on Super NES, however, is a very faithful port, to... I... really don't know what the... original version of the game was for. I wanna say TG16CD which was excellent. Had some of the best soundtracks you'll ever from a game... 'Course Ys always had a good soundtrack. I suggest the Genesis version though if you want a cart-based one, 'cause that game actually had the most... awesome use of the Genesis sound processor. And that's not an exaggeration.

Please be sym0athetic to SNKs fighting game group. Theyre trying their best to make games 20 brazilians, 5 mexicans, 3 chinamen, amd 2 koreans will play. But they are trapped in an unused warehouse that serves a chicken manure storage facility, and pachinko ball regreasing plant. Theu are constantly beset by intoperable noose and smell. They scavange for food and potable water on the forlorn docks of Guangzhou between the hours 1 am to 3 am. They simply want 2 model angels breasts and rear end in kond of janky ps2 era 3d. Fate and 2 billion hens conspire against them. LeND Them your strength!!!!
