About the village defence
I know that there are some sequences where you defend the "village" (or camp) from monster attack. Is this obligatory to continue the game? Is there a lot of penalty if you fail it? Is this hard to manage?

Thanks in advance, I like tower defences but I'm not an expert...

Yes, the village defense miini-games are mandatory. And no there isn't any big penalty towards losing.

Its a Ys game, how hard can it be? just spam the attack button to win... at least on normal and maybe hard. Anything higher and well, yeah.

Well sorry but Ys isn't just about "spam the attack button to win" (especially not the napishtim trilogy and the bump games)

Ah, is this the guy who keeps comparing the Ys games to the KOEI musou games?

I have nothing against the musou games but Ys rarely have more than 5-6 ennemies at the same time, most of the action comes from the bosses

Yeah, but you can probably tell the difference between how Ys games play like and the musou games, unlike that guy.

I think that even on easy mod there's some tricky part (in Oath and Origin mainly).

True, well i really like both series, Ys and most of the musou games, but they're totally different in gameplay style

I've always wanted to try a musou/DW game but I forgot with the time

I'm playing the game on PS4 now, and I was extremely nervous about the interception missions, but I can assure you they're nothing to worry about. I'm 17 hours in, have done a few of tbem already, and I haven't even come close to failing any of them, despite being on hard mode. As long as you make sure to set up some decoys and barricades, you won't have any problems.
