Picked up the Silver Anniversary Ed a few days ago and just got to playing last night!
The gameplay is so crisp and fun, the story is straight forward and clear, pulling you right in to the mix. Adol is trying to restore his memory from the events that took place in Celceta. The action battle elements are spot on and swapping characters on the fly adds much depth and strategy to the fighting. First impression is this could be the Best Ys game made so far, story wise, graphically and control wise. 9.5 out of 10 in my book!
This games tight and you will notice the improvements all over the place in this title.... Run, RUN NOW and get it.
If you can see the future while remembering the past, you may just have control of the present.
