Good post. Do you have a link to this Ys saga? I Googled it and all I'm coming up with is some Japanese role playing game. I'd be interested in checking out what you're talking about.
I agree with you. I never thought about it, but when the poster above mentioned the comparison, I got it instantly. TMV never did it for me either, for some of the same reasons YS doesn't blow me away. But I definitely hear similarities.
