Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana 2016

Is it still worth playing?

Nihon Falcom's 2016 third person action role playing game for the PlayStation Vita. After the passenger ship Lombardia sinks near the Isle of Seiren, Adol Christin builds a settlement with the survivors and dreams of Dana, a girl from a prehistoric era, and the story alternates between Adol on the island and Dana in the ancient civilization of Eternia. Combat is real time with up to three active party members switched instantly, weapons deal slash, pierce or strike damage and enemies have weaknesses to them. The castaway village offers weapon enhancement, medicine and cooking, raids defend it and rescuing castaways expands exploration. Switching between three characters with damage type weaknesses keeps combat active, and the village loop ties exploring to progress today.
