One of the strengths of Nihon Falcom’s long-running Ys series is that, despite 30+ years of entries, any Ys game can be your first Ys game. With every sequel being another standalone adventure in the life of red-haired explorer Adol Christin, I’ve jumped around through the series in a pretty random order and still gotten a full and fulfilling experience out of each game. While Ys IX: Monstrum Nox, the latest entry in the series, is yet another self-contained experience, it’s also a very different experience compared to previous entries. Some of these differences come from gameplay and combat improvements that make this one of the strongest entries in the series, but Ys IX also plays with story development and world-building like the Ys games have never done before, crafting a narrative experience purposefully at odds with what a Ys game would typically deliver.
