Adol Christin has seen and done a lot across the Ys series, from uncovering ancient conspiracies to battling dragons and world-ending gods. But as many adventures as he’s been on, he’s never captained a pirate ship — until now. Ys X: Nordics drops Adol into a seafaring adventure on a tropical archipelago, and it’s taking inspiration from developer Falcom’s greatest masterpiece, Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana. After watching a hands-off demo, I’m hopeful it can continue Falcom’s incredible rise to prominence.
