Lawl, I knew I'd get branded as a heretic for that statement. I just consider them to be unnecessarily difficult, like the game program was trying to punish the player or something. The worst thing is that the battle engine doesn't reward skill. You can hit enemies in the back and still take damage. It all depends on your level and all sorts of other things mushed into an equation. I want to use skill to keep from getting hit, not automatically take damage every time I attack.

Well, there is some skill in attacking - you usually won't take damage if you hit enemies off center.

It really depends on your level tho whether you'll take damage, even from hitting them off-center or even from behind. And the boss battles are super cheap. I think the first boss in Ys I has fire all over the floor or something and then moves around in it. Same with the boss in Ys IV with fire shooting out of the walls. You have to either be really lucky or really careful not to be standing in the wrong place, b/c wow, that's a one-hit kill! XD
