Pros
Pro Varied, beautiful world
A variety in locations visited and enemies met, that all are beautifully designed, gives the game a world that feels alive.
Pro Great combat system
Choose between solo and paired combat, where damage dealt is increased and damage taken in shared. Add to that a 'rock, paper, scissors'-type elements system mixed with a great selection of magic abilities, choice passive traits and charge bars that unlock special abilities and you get a deep combat system.
Pro Simple directional controls that are easy to understand and work great on touch screens
There are actually no buttons on screen, and the whole game is controlled with a floating Dpad. Interaction with NPCs is down by just bumping into them, same with fighting monsters. This type of control method may appeal to those who find more complicated controls with many buttons complicated.
Pro Classic action RPG gameplay that still holds up to current day games
While an older game, the gameplay itself still holds up pretty well. In classic action RPG fashion, the player sets out on an adventure where they must battle enemies in real time. Similar in style to games such as Zelda or Secret of Mana, Y's is one of the original Japanese action RPGs with great gameplay and polish.
Pro Mobile friendly save system where you save when you want
The save system is pretty forgiving, fitting well with a mobile on the go style of gaming as you can save at anytime you like as well as rely on saves every so often from the game itself.
Cons
Con Dull story
The story feels as though it falls flat during most of the game.
Con Translation is full of errors
The translation of the game is chock full of errors, making for sometimes difficult to read text and hard to follow story.
