Unleashing the Power of Mana
One of the standout features of Ys X: Nordics is the introduction of Mana abilities, adding a new layer of gameplay dynamics to the series.

This strategic element adds depth to the gameplay experience, offering players new ways to approach challenges in the world of Obelia Gulf.
For the first time in the Ys series, players will have the opportunity to take to the high seas with naval exploration and combat. The sailing ship, Sandras, becomes a crucial aspect of the game, allowing players to travel across oceans, engage in naval battles, and discover uncharted islands. This new dimension of gameplay promises to enhance the overall experience, offering a fresh perspective on exploration and adventure.
