Ys Seven is the latest installment in the long-running Ys series which first debuted on PC in 1987. This is the first iteration to be built specifically for the PSP system, taking full advantage of the widescreen format and hardware for beautiful graphics and virtually no load times.
Ys Seven was already a solid experience and the upgrades that it has received for the PC make it even better. Like the Ark of Napishtim, bringing Seven over was a great idea as it continues Adol’s adventure for all those that never did either move to a console market or have the chance to pick it up back in the day.

Ys Seven is a straightforward adventuring JRPG that plays quickly, keeps things simple, and moves along with daring speed. The battles are fluid and emphasize the group dynamics of the entire party of characters. This upscaled release is a beautiful game that leaves something to be desired resolution wise, and has a flawed beginning that can frustrate many, but overall this game is another example of Ys’ long held excellence.
Don't worry if you've never played an Ys game before -- the story of Ys Seven is self-contained and easy to get into. The real fun comes from the game's battle system, which features plenty of action, special moves and enough coins to make Mario jealous. Even though the scope of the world is limited and the game requires some backtracking, I'd recommend this one to any JRPG fan looking for a portable adventure. And Adol is an old-school badass to the core.
I honestly feel like an idiot for taking this long to play an Ys game, because so much of it appeals to me directly. The minor combat encounters are engaging but brisk, while the boss battles are urgent, hellishly difficult, and very memorable. Best of all, with such a short runtime for a JRPG, I was done with the game quickly, but never felt rushed or unsatisfied. Ys Seven is like a crackhead on a dirt-bike. It’s fast, and loud, and something you’ll probably never forget.
It's time for Adol Christin to pick up the sword once again on this PC port of the 2009 PSP game YS Seven. This time he is a complete foreigner in the new land of Altago and already he is tasked with stopping the Winds of Destruction. So is this adventure worth the HD revamp, or should it have remained a relic of the past?
A PSP original entry in the YS series makes its way to PC, how does it hold up?
