FWIW the bolded only applies to nightmare. Origin is easier than Oath in Felghana on other difficulties.

Unless you only play the game as Hugo then it's one of the easiest action rpgs of all time
Going from nightmare yunica to nightmare Hugo felt like I just entered about 50 cheat codes

That too. I always forget about Hugo, don't find him very fun to play as.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Alright, this was good advice. Ys II is fucking awesome. Ys I was like an 8/10 sorta game for me, but this is an easy 10. It's basically everything I like about games.

Yup Ys2 is pretty much that style of game play perfected
Got Oath on vita today and origins on ps4 a few days ago i only played a few hours of memories but i loved it. Can't wait to delve futher into the series when 8 comes out this fall.
Will read a story summary on 1 and 2 for origins and maybe play/buy them and the rest later got a huge backlog right now xd.

Played through Ys I these past two days in Ys I&II Complete +. Liked it a lot. They were pretty damn creative with the bosses for having such a simple combat design. It was quite cool.
Playing II now. Just beat that icicle shooting, jumping boss. Pretty exhilarating. I do miss the straight bump approach a bit atm, because there is a bit of dissonance between boss and standard enemies this way, but still a really well-designed encounter, imo.
...
Bump combat also amuses me because it reminds me of how amusing random sprite walking paths used to be to me in, say, Pokemon as a kid. Now the weird twists and turns and walking into things is something I have to pay a lot of attention to. It really draws you into the goofy world of the 2D NPC.

Snagged Chronicles, Origin and Oath during the sale.
Been wanting a nice simple action RPG lately and these games seem to fit the bill.
Bump system is interesting, pretty much turns Adol into a locomotive of unstoppable death that theres no reasoning with or remorse once he gets a level up.
The Japanese bullet train of JRPG protagonists.
