The latter, a game I played <i>waaaay<\/i> back in the late &#8217;80s\/early &#8217;90s, was an amazing game with an even better soundtrack.  Just why I quit is unclear and returning to games, especially any type of large-world titles, is never easy.  However, after doing book research and poring through the excellent <b>Castlevania<\/b> book I have, I was inspired to return to the <i>other<\/i> excellent game, <b>Symphony Of The Night<\/b>.  I tinkered for a bit before pondering that very question of why I bailed, more than three and a half years ago.  <\/p>\n<p>And so here I sit, at the very end of the game, in the very week that <b>Ys VIII<\/b> ships.  Reviews are positive and of course I&#8217;d like to pick it up.  But now isn&#8217;t the time. Hell, if I could wait almost four years to finish this, I&#8217;m sure <b>Lacrimosa Of Dana<\/b>, which itself is over a year old, can wait a bit longer.  Come to think of it, I never finished <b>Ys I &#038; II Chronicles<\/b> on the PSP either.  Backlogs aren&#8217;t so bad, maybe!  For now, a pretty decent screenshot of Adol before the setting sun in anticipation of that annoying-as-hell Chester fight.  <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/slateman.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/ULUS10558_00009.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/slateman.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/ULUS10558_00009-300x194.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"194\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2607\" srcset=\"https:\/\/slateman.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/ULUS10558_00009-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/slateman.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/ULUS10558_00009-768x498.jpg 768w, https:\/\/slateman.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/ULUS10558_00009.jpg 983w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After putting in 15+ hours in early 2014, I abandoned Ys: The Oath In Felghana, the remarkable remake of the legendary Ys III: Wanderers From Ys.
