Oh my. This will take some getting used to.
I love how everyone teases Adol about his hair:
Adol getting a pirate crew was probably explained in Ys V: Lost Kefin, Kingdom of Sand. AKA the one nobody played.
Lol, I was trying to kill this guy for about 5 minutes
but I didn't succeed so I assumed my attacks failed to damage him at all. Didn't notice the Enemy bar below at first, lol.
I did find it amusing how he was just standing there in one place while I was trying to kill him, though.
EDIT: Turns out I needed to buy a short sword first.

Equipment (and a bit of grinding) is extremly important to win the fights. It makes the difference of not getting anywhere to having an easy time. IIRC try to attack enemies diagonally as much as possible.
Last boss's a bitch in any case though. It's why I still haven't tried/finished time attack. It's been a year so I might give it a go, still have to do a nightmare run as well.
So I got used to the controls and Ys I is actually pretty fun!
Unless I'm playing it wrong (tm), though, it really is a bit too grind-heavy. I could barely damage the first boss at lvl4, but going up to lvl5 and buying new armor and a new sword (had to grind for money for that) made him go down in, like, 2 hits. Still, running aroundhacking and slashingrunning into things is weirdly addictive in this game.
I also like what's shaping up to be a fair amount of secrets / side quests already. Two of which I've already missed according to the FAQ.
Origin was a prequel to Ys I and Ys II, so when you enter the Darm Tower, you'll be seeing alot of familiar things.So the bat boss from Origin was alreasdy there in Ys I? Good to know.

You only get this line if you give her food, but not if you give her flowers for example
Turns
out there is a bug with the PC version of Ys 1 which makes your HP deplete several times faster in that boss fight if you're playing the game in full screen.
So I switched the game to windowed 800x600 and beat him on my first try:
Damn, such a waste (of time).
