The only thing I disagree with is the use of past tense. Ys VIII (from little I played of it) still shows that Falcom can make amazing games. The only sad thing is how little the company cares about getting quality localizations or ports out in the West, as shown by shifting their contracts to NISA. Sure, NISA may pay them more short-term, but I doubt this mess of a company will be able to guarantee good sales in the West for long.
