Ys X: Proud Nordics Reviews
Don't get me wrong, I love this series and while the additions are welcome, they don't make the game completely different or much better. 'Ys X: Proud Nordics' is still a game with a far too slow start, uninteresting naval battles and an uninteresting story. The new island is in that respect the best part of this whole package. However, there is no concrete information about an upgrade path so far. Is the new content worth repurchasing the game at full price? In my opinion, no. Don't own the game yet and are you a fan of the series? Then this is the version you can buy without thinking too much about it.

Proud Nordics does provide some fine quality of life features, but they are still encased in an adventure that is nowhere as good as the previous entries in the series.
Although frustrating for those who played or bought the original game, Ys X: Proud Nordics is still an excellent choice to revisit. For first-time adventurers, it is a spectacular entry point into the Ys series.

Ys X: Proud Nordics is easily one of the best entries in the series, period. From the solid gameplay to the ocean exploration, this story of Adol, Karja, and their crew is engaging from start to finish, and one can't help but get a bit misty-eyed at the thought of saying goodbye.
Ys X: Proud Nordics is a great pick for newcomers seeking a solid JRPG with an entertaining story and flashy combat in its most complete form, but for returning players the added content doesn’t justify the full price and feels like it should have been inexpensive DLC.

I would say Ys X: Proud Nordics is worth it depending on two factors and that is if you own the original game, if you do then it may be worth holding off for now. The extra content of Ys X: Proud Nordics is not worth the cost of a full new game especially if you already own it, while the game does add previous DLC such as costumes and Items the actual content of the game itself cost wise reflects that of a small DLC and could easily be sold as that, unfortunately that just is not the case, but if you have yet to try Ys X then Proud Nordics is the most up to date and definite edition of the game that you should get.
