Debate This!

There's a curiousity in all of us. Sometimes that curiousity can spark us to learn a new skill, dive deep into a hobby, or maybe try a new food. And then other times that curiousity can lead us sailing a boat straight into a magical storm wall encircling an island cursed with a demonic plague. Meet Adol Christin, the subject of the Ys series, probably the greatest JRPG series you've never heard of that has been quietly pumping out games since 1987. Adol's wanderlust and penchant for surviving ship explosions leads him to far-off lands, often dealing with some inexplicable ancient magic and/or hidden civilization populated with sentient dinosaurs. Today, we're breaking down every single Ys game to date, ending with the ninth entry that came out earlier this year. Special thanks to "Master Specter" for commissioning today's episode!
