I recived for Christmas in 1992 the first Ys : Vanished Omen for SEGA MASTER SYSTEM...I was only 7 year old.

[@witchfindergeneral5366]

Ys 8 is sale on Switch like 3 days ago. And I've been hesitating on getting it because I have other game to purchase(FFXII:TZA), and also limited budget. Also, I knew that the physical copy of this is pretty hard to come by and possibility of being on sale again on eshop is unlikely. So, in the end I bought it, the best decision of my life, managed to grab FFXII:TZA too! I'm satisfied for now.

[@IkeSan]

That Ys 1 is the remake not the original Ys 1 from 1987.

[@Darskul]

yeah that actually made me angry, lol.

[@lilmister]

Thanks! I was yelling out loud. "WTF ARE THESE GRAPHICS. NO WAY" irl. :b if one where to pick this series up, can u play only the remakes with better graphics without missing any story etc?

[@IkeSan]

@@lilmister ​ Actually there are 2 Remakes of Ys 1 and 2. The first one being the Turbografix 16 version and the other one is the windows version called Ys Complete and Chronicles (These ones just differ in arstyle). The only difference is how the beginning of the story is presented. Original Ys 1 versions, they throw you at the town without explanation. The Turbografix 16 version, the story is narrated and it looks incredible for a videogame system of the 90s. The Complete/Chronicles versions they have mini cutscenes plus a different city where you start the game. Independently which one you choose they are basicly the same game, just how the story starts is different and some aspects of what happens along the journey. But really they are the same game. That only depends on how you like the games to look, if you like the retro aspect or the modern one and there are different versions to play, PC 88, Sega Master System, Famicom, PSP, PS2, Steam, Sega Saturn, but take note some of these versions are just in Japanese while others are international.

[@bobbob-dj4lh]

@@lilmister also for what it's worth the Ys Books I&II chronicles remake is the version of the story that is considered canon in the modern franchise, so if you have a thing for cross game continuity, the chronicles remake (which can be gotten on steam) is the one to play.

[@XanTheXanadul]

And not only that, but the first version was for the PC-88, while the shown CD cover is the Sega Master System port from 1988, which is a very different version of the game again.

[@SeTirap]

If you show the remake of ys 1 from 2001 then pls dont say its from 1987

[@zoiuduu]

thx i was utterly confused with such pretty graphics , then i saw ys3 and it was way shittier, so i knew something was up

[@Blackwing02]

Was confused by that as well, then they didn't even show the remake of 3, Oath in Felghana.... If they were going to go this route they should have shown EACH version of the games throughout the years

[@rosemarydwitasari4693]

For those who don't know Ys III Oath in Felghana = Ys III Wanderers of Ys Remake Ys IV Memories of Celceta = Ys IV Mask of The Sun Remake

[@matthewlumibao7057]

Memories of Celceta is a remake of both Mask of the Sun and Dawn of Ys. Both games released in 1993 but was outsourced to different developers due to internal restructuring as Nihon Falcom was siphoned out of developers at the time.

This might be the first Game series I will go back in time slowly to play previous entries for. This thing snagged me the minute I picked up YS VIII, and now that I've left the city in YS IX, the adventure and the badass music is happening all over again.

@@djw_tekken8490 imo YS 8: Lacrimose of Dana is better than YS 9: Monstrum Nox. Story is better, music is better, exploration & monsters are better. I would rate YS 8 a 9/10 & YS 9 an 8/10

[@zephyrias]

@@shernjian which to get? Theres demos of both games on the ps4. I just played a bit of the demo of Ys 8. I barely get what the story is since it just drops u in the dungeon.

[@shernjian]

@@zephyrias I would rate YS 8 higher than 9 due to reasons stated above & cause Dana is one of the best female characters of all time for me. The story is not that complicated but you might not understand what's going on when Adol is having his "dreams". I didn't play the demo but if they do just drop you in the dungeon, then I guess they just want you to test the gameplay. The story doesn't start in the dungeon, it starts on a ship. Would highly recommend playing YS 8 first instead of YS 9 (there's also some stuff from YS 8 referenced in YS 9 so its better to play 8 first)

[@LBCAndrew]

The game didn't look anything like that in 1987. The Sega Master System was really primitive. It wasn't until Ys: Book 1 & 2 came out on TurboGrafx-CD did the game shine. It was the first game ever to have a true Redbook CD OST, animated cut scenes, and voice acting. Here is the scene at the beginning of Book 2 that i recorded back in 2013. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5KTeImqqLBqpLc That cut scene was literally the most cutting edge of any video game made at the time. Here is the final boss music from book 1. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXmTZ6amfdWMY68 The competition from nintendo and sega was beeps and boops like the original mario brothers kinda music. and these guys drop music like this! and this! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKjbqodtqL2lhKs

[@Haganeren]

Yeah but... Ys Book 1 & 2 are "just" a remake from Hudson... Why showing it over the, i don't know, horrible X68000 version ? Just because people in USA liked it because they had access to it ? It's a bit strange isn't it ? The first version are the PC-88 so it would be best to show that version first in my opinion... And then after... Well... If they don't show the PC Engine CD version i couldn't really blame them, they are so much version of Ys I & II...

[@eyeball226]

The Master System version wasn't even the original, it was a PC-88 game originally.

That said, this series is SO confusing with countless remakes, brain scrambling timelines, different names for different regions and whatnot that the original might have been there somewhere. Oath in Felghana was also not there, but somebody said it was under another title... It's so confusing I'm not even trying to understand it. In my honest opinion, Memories of Celceta was one of the best Ys games so far. It should have been here i order to show the evolution of this series during all these years as a whole. It looks a lot like Seven too, so I guess that's why it was not there. Although, Seven is a bit better game still in my books. I must go play those older games at some point. Or their remakes, I don't even know anymore, lol. 😅

Jogo JRPGs desde 1999 (FFVII, Wild Arms e Breath of Fire 3 foram os primeiros que joguei). Mas só conheci a série Ys em 2014 com Ys: The Oath in Felghana (acho que é um remake do Ys 3). Me apaixonei pela série. Depois joguei Ys VI: The Ark of Napshtim, Ys Origin, Ys Seven e Ys: Memories of Celceta. Gostei de todos, mas o The Oath in Felghana foi o melhor na minha opinião. Assim que conseguir um tempo, vou jogar o elogiadíssimo Ys: Lacrimosa of Dana. Apesar de faltarem alguns jogos da série nesse vídeo, é uma excelente compilação.

Cool video man

[@aliceinmansonland448]

I've been playing 8, and really enjoying it. I've wondered about the other Vita games, but I think I'm gonna wait until there's a sale. I'm really glad I didn't play the classics, it looks like you're just bumping into the enemies. I've found an English translation of 4, but it uses lots of memory, and most of that is used for the animated cutscenes. I'll stick with 8, it's really awesome.

[@alibekomir8157]

Ys seven is definitely must play. Really enjoyed playing it. Fluid gameplay, great story and awesome music. I suggest you to play it, fellow gamer:)

Good to see a summary of that series. Only one that caught my interest was Ys 6. Maybe it'll get a port or sth. alike. Never knew Ys Online existed but I guess it got shut down since 2009? It's been a while since back then. Loved 8, Looking forward to the PS4 Celceta Remaster. But the chosen world of Ys9 in this video looks so empty and unfinished ... Was that early production footage or is Ys9 a lot emptier than the more detailed 8? ...

Ys IX had music from Ys VIII. Personally, after playing Ys VIIi and IX, I don't think I could play any of the previous games. VIII and IX are just too action packed and action oriented.

Really? O_O have you played older Ys Games, though? You're really missing out on Ys Origin.

[@shutup1037]

I played ys viii first and have no problem playing older ys

[@KeyleeTamirian]

I mean, Ys Origin is more action packed than Ys VIII and Ys IX. They have tons of dialogues... while Ys Origin is mostly action, and dialogues are done in small doses.

[@pandaman1331]

So Ys basically evolved from a platformer into a full fledged arpg. I kind of wished they would do the same with Zelda.

[@Haganeren]

Bad video... Don't tell it's 1987 while showing the Master Sytem version, made by Sega one year and a half later. Same could be said with Ys II.. Why the MSX2 version ? Do you take those picture randomly ? The first version are on PC-88 or maybe Sharp X1 but it's much rare to find so... Show what Ys looked like at this moment ! There is a LOT of difference between the original release of Ys I and the remake Ys Eternal ( yeah, Ys Eternal and Ys Complete ARE different but granted, nobody care) so please show those two as separate release or i don't understand what's the point of this video ! I mean, someone who don't know Ys see amazing visual for Ys I & II and for Ys IV BAM, everything is worst. That's so strange ! I do understand that you don't want to show remakes because Ys have way too much of them but... Really, Oath in Felghana and especially Memories of Celceta deserves to be here... Only the scenario is the same for Oath and Memories just takes a canon spot in the chronology.
