Ys games often deviate from a linear timeline, but until recently, Ys 3 stood out as the third game in all aspects. Thankfully, understanding the events of the first two games or Ys X isn’t essential to follow the storyline in Oath in Felghana. The protagonist, Adol Christin, is a fiery-haired adventurer with a knack for wrecking ships and meddling in local politics for amusement. Accompanying him is his friend Dogi, who sports blue hair and immense muscles, which he uses to shatter rocks and various objects. In Oath’s narrative, the duo travels to Dogi’s hometown, which is currently grappling with a corrupt Count who threatens the town’s mining industry. It transpires that there’s an ancient history involving a legendary hero and cosmic dread hidden behind several enigmatic statues, and forces are working to break the seal. Unable to resist getting involved, Adol finds himself in the midst of many battles against monsters and numerous opportunities to double-jump.
