Talk about the Xak series.
It's pronounced Saa-ck

At least good enough for dutch MSX music disks to be full of arranges of these musics.

TELL ME about the game. It looks really engrossing. I don't trust google to do so.

I really liked the series, especially III. I wish the PCE CD soundtrack was posted on Youtube already

Only played the translated SNES version of the original. It's pretty fun if you're one of the few who liked Lagoon, as the combat is similar (incredibly short range slashes at an angle). Some fun setpieces, but it really felt I was playing Ys Book I when there's a Book II that continues it sitting untranslated, where game elements are refined.

Meant to play the MSX versions sometime, they're translated somewhat. And Fray just looks 100% adorable. There's a section in the original that goes full shmup, so Fray being an actiony shooter rpg makes sense.

I have never heard of this series. What's its genre, and what systems is it on?

The PCE CD/FM Towns arrangments are really lovely too. Feels a bit like Records of Lodos War and other 80's/90's fantasies

The SFC had odd changes to the combat. Normally you have a two style bump combat like Druaga or Hydlide where you need to hold a button in order to increase your attack at the cost of defense.
The thing about Xak is that the most effective way to fight is pushing enemies into walls.
