Pro Tons of puzzles
Lots and lots of puzzles, and multiple ways to finish the game. Comprised of mainly block moving puzzles to progress room to room in the games dungeons. While there are a few other puzzles throughout the game, mainly block moving is what the player will be doing.
Cons
Con Tons of grinding
Like a lot of old school RPGs, Ys features a lot of grinding in order to defeat boss's. This can become tiresome after some time as it is just doing the same thing over and over again in order to progress.
Con Puzzles can feel repetitive
While there are a lot of puzzles to solve in the game, there are only three objects that are used to solve them and after a while it can feel repetitive due to how limited the puzzle solving can be.
