Ys I&II Chronicles

[cj_iwakura]

I played 1 & 2 on the VC(which I think was the Turbo CD version?), and I can say Chronicles is quite a bit harder.

Takes longer to level up for sure, and the world is much larger. The area that was one town in Ys vanilla is TWO in Chronicles.


The music is fan.tas.tic. Can not stress that enough.

Nothing really special. But it seems that Falcom put the three PSP Ys games in a bundle in Japan, so maybe this confirms that Ys Origin is never going to be ported to the PSP (which is pretty damn weird if you ask me). *sad face*

Love the box, tough.

How about a closer look at it?

And with the NGP on the way there's always hope it'll be released for that! Of course, SCEA could be assholes and decree it's not good enough looking to release here. Really hope that isn't the case.

Hopefully they put out Ys Origins, Ys III, Ys IV, and Ys 8 in NGP.

Hopefully they put out Ys Origins, Ys III, Ys IV, and Ys 8 in NGP.

But we already got III! What we need is a remake of V.

[Hoshino_Kid]

Whoops, I meant V (darn confusing out-of-order Ys games!).

Ys V looks fantastic on the SNES though. Its graphics kinda remind me of Tales of Phantasia's.

Anyone playing this title? Doesn't seem to be getting too much discussion. I'm actually still in the middle of a couple games FFIV on DS and Ys VI on ps2...Ys VI is fantastic!

Yeah, it's currently sitting in my backlog, but it's also sitting right there on my desk.  Too addicted to TO: LuCT at the moment, that's not being removed from my PSP any time soon.

Yeah not many people seem to be playing this.  I'm at Solomon Temple in Ys II. 

Ys VI is really good I agree.  It was my first Ys game (have the PS2 version)

Yup, playing Ys VI on the ps2 and I love it...my first introduction to Ys was Ys: The Vanished Omens (which I believe is Ys I) on the Sega Master System...even before the Turbo Grfx 16 version.

I picked up Ys I & II. Guess I'll hang on to the psp for now.

A really old video of the first Ys game, that I believe it was done as a preview for the game in Japan in 1987.

Wow...think this is the first version of Ys I got and the date is right too. I have it on the old Sega Master System. Think the date on my box is 1987 or 88. Still works too. The new version of Ys on the PSP is amazing after playing this old version.

I played for about three hours and skipped straight to The Oath In Felghana. I much prefer the ability to swing the sword on the DS version to the traditional "bump" system this one kept. Graphics are beautiful, though. Much better than the fugly DS polygons. I might come back to this down the road, but the story isn't new to me and I just can't stand the whole bumping thing.

[Anime & RPGl and]

I guess I like this title so much is because I started with the all SMS version. Yeah, no swinging a sword but I was kinda used to that the first time around over 20 yrs ago.
