Review title of Unknown First time Ys player

I was very excited to get into this series in a very short time ( Xbox needs more Japanese developed games). This game looks very low budget at first glance, but it runs like a dream. This Action RPG is known for being grindy by nature in order to progress at all. I am not a fan of grinding as much as the next person: however, once you get past the opening cutscene and dialogue you learn the combat very quick. Leading off of that eventually you might get stuck for a very miniscule amount of time and in that time grinding comes naturally and is extremely fun even as you're questing across the tower. The music is fantastic even/ at first it may seem like it is just the same thing over and over if you stop to think about it, but it just carries a very immersive score. My only complaint is back to the visuals. It looks as though it was made in an RPG maker program. However, once you get past the technical visuals, the design of everything is amazing at times and for the most part.
