Just noticed these. The Ys one wasn't all that funny, but I did like the "walking simulator" reference to Xak: The Art of Visual Stage. That video was of the Super Famicom version of the first game in the series.
It refers to the fact that most people who would start the game (Any version of Xak, doesn't matter) would have to know what they are doing or be able to read Japanese in order to exit the first town. So yes, in a sense it is a walking simulator as you try to find a way out of the village.
To actually exit the village you have to speak with the blonde haired girl in the house, Elise, and go find her grandfather's glasses that are found next to one of the pews inside the village church. Once you find the glasses and return them to Elise, you can commence with the plot and gain a reason for leaving the village in the first place. That nets you money in which to purchase some armour and a sword and then you can leave the village.
