Thanks for sharing! I've only played the SNES version of Ys III, so I had never seen these cut scenes before. It's kind of strange how the intro is this western-style barbarian dude, but the rest of the cut scenes are classic red haired anime style Adol. Perhaps that was some misguided attempt at localization? Curious what the japanese version looks like....
No problem, thanks for watching! Yeah that was also confusing for me the first time I played it 😂 The barbarian dude also appears in the japanese opening. However, he is not Adol, but rather the legendary hero (Genos) that sealed the main antagonist (Galbalan) before the game. The narrator's dialogue was mistranslated in the English version, and he says Adol instead Genos. Source: isu.fandom.com/wiki/Genos

@@TomasArriagadaRG Ahh, ok that makes a lot more sense now! Still an interesting choice in the art direction, but at least the lore makes sense.
