This slows down time for a few seconds, allowing you to get in a few extra hits. The "Flash Guard" move from Ys Seven has returned, where you're granted extra SP if you precisely guard an attack, but there's also a "Flash Dodge" if you dodge an attack immediately before it hits. Each also has a special power which lets them clear obstacles or defeat certain enemies - for example, Duren can lockpick chests while Ozma can use his spear to break cracks in rocks.
Each character also has a number of special moves, which sap SP, and can be regenerated by killing enemies. Your characters cannot jump, but they do have dodge rolls. Each has different weapons, which are more appropriate to certain types of enemies. Up to three party members are in play at once, and while you control only one at a time, you can switch between them at will. The game itself is based heavily on the system from Ys Seven. After traveling and gathering party members, Adol encounters Eldeel, and from here, the core of story is similar to the previous Ys IV games. Adol is innocent in all cases, of course, and instead many of the troubles are caused by masked warriors, who appear to have super human powers. When Adol and Duren venture out to other towns, they find that the townspeople remember Adol.but typically not in good ways, often blaming him for various unfortunate incidents that occurred after his arrival. In addition to exploring, the duo hope that revisiting old areas where help jog Adol's memories.
However, due to his experiences, he is drafted by the Romun army to help map out the forest of Celceta, which is still largely uncharted by those outside of the country. After being nursed back to health, Adol realizes that he's lost most of his memory. However, after a traumatic event, he finds himself wandering back to the town of Casnan, where he passes out from exhausation. Instead, as the game begins, Adol has technically already explored much of the forest of Celceta. The storyline skips over a lot of the introductory stuff, including the reason for Adol's journey to Celceta and the landing in Promalock. The Japanese title is presented in English as Foliage Ocean in Celceta, a poetic image that sounds incredibly clumsy in English, hence the change in the localized version. However, once again, there are a huge number of differences from all previous versions, sometimes incorporating elements from previous versions, while drastically expanding the depth of the story.
