| Ys I & II Chronicles+ | Nihon Falcom;XSEED Games (Nihon Falcom) | 2001 | Chronicles+ is an updated English translated version by XSEED that is not exactly the same as the earlier Complete version, bringing updates from the PSP Chronicles port back to PC, but for the most part it's identical (so much so that it's pointless to have it separate). Chronicles+ has option to play the original 2001 Complete version and the 2009 Chronicles version, selected when new game is started.***A remake of Ys Eternal I & II with updated graphics. Also released as separate games in 2002, then released again as one package in 2005...

| Ys: The Oath in Felghana | Falcom;XSEED Games (Falcom) | 2005 | When redheaded thrill-seeker Adol Christin and his eternal blue-haired companion Dogi make an unannounced visit to Dogi's homeland of Felghana after an eight-year absence, it quickly becomes apparent that things have changed dramatically. Hordes of violent monsters roam the outskirts of town, a long-dormant volcano has suddenly sprung back to life and the new lord of the land has begun mercilessly and inexplicably extorting money from its long-suffering citizens. While Dogi seeks out his former combat master for answers, Adol tends to the townsfolk -- and finds himself embroiled in a world of political conspiracies, ancient legacies and unthinkable taboos. A complete 3D reimagining of the 16-bit console classic "Ys III: Wanderers From Ys," Ys: The Oath in Felghana is a fast-paced action role-playing game with tight controls, Metroidvania-style exploration elements, intense combat with epic screen-filling boss battles, and a thrashing, percussive arranged soundtrack that's been heralded by many as one of the best of all time. Based on the original 2005 PC release, this classic is finally officially available in English with added Steamworks features such as achievements and cloud saving. Come see why Falcom fans the world over regard this game as "Ys, Perfected"! Key Features: * Six difficulty levels ranging from "Very Easy" for casual players to "Inferno" for true old-school gaming masters. * Unlockable "Time Attack" and "Boss Rush" modes for anyone looking to show off his/her boss-taming abilities. * Over 30 unique Steam Achievements as well as Steam Cloud support. * Adjustable high-resolution PC graphics with original blood effects intact. * Gamepad support in addition to standard keyboard and mouse controls. | labelimagesubject |
| Ys Origin | Nihon Falcom;XSEED (Nihon Falcom) | 2006 | 700 years before the events of Ys I & II, the land of Ys was on the brink of destruction. Demons came in droves and forced the twin Goddesses who ruled the land to whisk their subjects away from the surface, into the safe embrace of the clouds. The demons were persistent, however, erecting a massive tower in pursuit. The battle that raged upon the ground had begun ascending for a second round up above. One day, amidst this turmoil, the Goddesses stole away into the night, vanishing from Ys altogether. And there's only one place they could have gone: the Devil's Tower. A search party of knights and sorcerers was hastily formed and dispatched to the surface in hopes of retrieving these runaway deities. Among its members were apprentice knight Yunica Tovah and troubled sorcerer Hugo Fact. This is their story. Or at least, it's how each of them remembers it. Expanding upon the gameplay elements introduced in Ys: The Ark of Napishtim and further developed in Ys: The Oath in Felghana, Ys Origin perfects the formula by adding different styles of play and new features never before seen in the Ys universe. Best described as an arcade-like platformer RPG with Metroidvania elements and a complex, multi-faceted narrative, Ys Origin is the perfect mix of action, exploration and story. Screen-filling bosses with complex AI, unique platforming elements, innovative puzzles and a deeply involving mystery await within the wildly varied confines of this classic Ys dungeon. Come see how long you can last in the Devil's Tower... Key Features: * Officially available in English for the very first time. * Three unique playable characters in story mode, with additional variations (and characters?) unlockable through other modes. * Five difficulty levels ranging from "Very Easy" for casual players to "Nightmare" for true Ys masters. * Unlockable "Time Attack" and "Boss Rush" modes for anyone looking to show off his/her boss-taming abilities. * Unlockable Arena Mode pits players against massive hordes of enemies for unique gameplay rewards. * Over 40 unique Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud support and hundreds of highly competitive leaderboards. * Minutely configurable high-resolution graphics with true widescreen support. * Fully adjustable controls supporting virtually any USB gamepad, as well as a standard keyboard and mouse setup.***Steam/English release was on 2012-05-31***Prequel to the whole Ys series and the second game that doesn't revolve around Adol Christin (first was Ys Strategy), set some 700 years before the events of Ancient Ys Vanished (Ys 1&2). The chosen character affects the story some, but the played areas and such are the same. Encountered NPCs, including bosses, are not always the same and the dialogue tends to be different even if following the same lines. Some items are found in different places too. | labelimagesubject |
