    [​IMG]RPG Site likes the PC port of the action RPG Ys IX: Monstrum Nox:

    It would be really nice if more JRPGs got PC ports like Ys IX: Monstrum Nox

    The last time a modern Ys game was launched on PC, it was hard to recommend it for various reasons. Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana is a great action RPG, but its original western release was anything but smooth. Not only was the original English localization infamously poor, so much to the point that NIS America's president had to apologize for it (and has since been addressed), but the game's PC port was also originally plagued with issues even after several delays. It wasn't until Peter 'Durante' Thoman and his company PH3 was hired to fix the PC port in early 2020 where I can now recommend a purchase of the game on PC with little reservation.

    Luckily in Ys IX's case, I can jump straight ahead to simply stating: The PC port of Ys IX: Monstrum Nox is great. It's not perfect; there are a few niggling issues that'll hopefully be ironed out in patches, but otherwise on the whole, Ys IX's PC port is launching in a much, much better state. This is largely due to the fact that PH3 was hired to port this game from the get-go this time around, and just like with other recent Falcom games on PC, they've done an admirable job.
