The Ys series is really, really fascinating in how you had this really simplistic straightforward plot-light first entry back in the PC-88 days and they kind of just built on top of it to make things in the first game more and more plot relevant as the series continued.

Then you hit Ys Origin where they go "Yeah these seemingly tiny details in Ys 1 and 2? Here's an entire character's storyline about them"

Then Monstrum Nox is just "Plot? What plot?" and somehow that's even BETTER?

@trysdyn Also, it's had nothing whatsoever to do with Ys since 2, except for Origins.
