Ys V: Kefin, The Lost City of Sand is the fifth game of the series. It was released for Snes in 1995. A remake was released for PS2 in 2006. Adol is travelling through new lands, in search of more adventure, when he hears of the vanished desert city of Kefin. He sets off to investigate this ancient city's disappearance. The RPG-style statistical elements and the overhead view of most of the previous games are retained in Ys V. As in Ys III, there is no auto-attack; the player must press a button to swing Adol's sword. Adol is also given the ability to jump and defend with his shield. A new magic system is introduced in Ys V as well, which requires the player to charge up spells by holding a button before they can be cast.

It's like Falcom played Secret of Mana and hired a different team of developers and told them "uh just make a game kinda like Secret of Mana"

Feels bizarre playing this after having played every other Ys game. It feels like it breaks the main design philosophies that the entire series is built around. It's a slow-burn relaxing action rpg that's kinda fun.
