Your paragraph contained 1.8k characters of uninterrupted autism. This isn't a "reddit" thing, it's a (You) thing. You're really grasping at straws here.

You don't appear to be mentally present. You opened your post by making a snide remark about "touching a nerve," and then proceeded to write a two part response containing almost 4k characters. I directly addressed this irony, which continues to go over your head.

You're not breaking down anything. You've played a handful of games in a series containing 20+ games, each with individual combat systems, and are applying Vesperia's mechanics to all of them and are making assumptions at best. That's the level of reductionism we're at here. There's nothing to address. This is hot air.

Furthermore, all your responses are based on you interpreting things in any way that you wish. For instance, I brought up that Tales is a traditional, full length JRPG series with action combat, and Ys is an action series with RPG elements tacked on, and that what makes them individually "special" is the fighting game-inspired and bump combat (ancient history) respectively, with one having had input from fighting game developers to reinforce the point, and how you chose to interpret and respond to that, well, we've seen how that went.

Simplicity is what Ys is known for, and the games are very mechanically shallow, both on paper and in execution. Its RPG elements are irrelevant beyond letting less skilled players brute force certain bosses in the pre-party games. As for the party games, there's ZERO mechanical difference between the playable characters, and even their skills are largely just reskins with said color coding, which lets you bind them in the same slot to make the characters completely interchangeable from a mechanical perspective.

What makes the Ys series special compared to other Action RPGs?
