YS イース SERIES - ALL GAMES OPENINGS (1987-2024)

[@jeffrman777]

Still remember playing Ys 1 and 2 on my Windows XP PC like 20 years ago. Time flies. To Make the End of Battle is just one of those songs that will stick with you forever, what an epic piece of music.

[@nikkitanaka]

Ys 2 opening is so creative. It's not just a mix of quick cuts, it also has a very cool suspense build-up and omg, that lightning at 5:01.

[@LOREWITHBLAZER]

This franchise is so underrated it’s has old has the legend of Zelda and only a few people know about it

[@W.shunsuke36914]

今から30年以上前に、PCエンジンで初めてイース1&IIをプレイした時は感動した。イースの1をクリアした後にいきなり、かっこいい音楽とアニメシーンに切り替わり、アドルが天空の浮遊島に導かれるシーンは凄かった。

I understand people can have different taste in gaming, but I just can't help but feel sorry for gamers who have not even tried Ys or Trails games. They are missing out on one of the best jrpg series of all time. These games resonate so much with me and I love every moment of it.

Ys II opening has the best theme. To make the end of battle!

Woah, that's actually the first Ys related theme I ever heard, though I didn't know what it was from, at the time. I more or less played through the entire series a few years ago, with it in the back of my mind, expecting it to run into it again... Never got it... So it was from some crossover the whole time? Damnit! x)

[@StewNWT]

I would be fascinated with an Ys game that actually tied all the various areas lore and world together

[@akhairanich.2420]

my fav Ys opening is from YS1, YS origin, YS memories of celceta, Ys7, and YS8

[@DiabolicCrusher]

I hope we'll get something like ys vs sora no kiseki again someday, ys-style fighting game with both ys and kiseki characters from the modern games would be awesome.

[@richtersundeen6105]

Ys Oath of Felghana and Ys Origins are my favorites. Would love to see a Ys 5 remake in the style of them. I don't think the Ys 8 style would work for Ys 1 and 2 because Adol is by himself.

@Motoko Chan Ys IX is a good game, but it's definitely a step down from VIII. I suspected it was a funding issue, and several sources confirm this. I hope they get things sorted for X as well. Should be a milestone in the series.

a shame that ys x dont have an opening... falcom did not learn the mistake with ys IX

[@advmx3]

To me, the best Openings in order of music and quality of video is: YS II - Even if the animation isn't great they did an awesome job with that one, Then Ys Origin because tha Guitar and Violin just gets me every time, Ys Memories of Celceta, that game opening gives me the chills, Ys Seven and Ys Lacrimosa of Dana. I love Dana's opening but it's one of the most serene openings, quite celestial, and I like it yeah, but Falcom shines when they make really amazing bangs like Origins and Ys II. I love them all though.

Playing all the YS games you find things that are in common. 1. It takes place in the East 2. All villains belong in the same organization etc. of some sort searching for some relic. 3. All ancient beings are somehow related to each other as came from an ancient civilization long forgotten. 4. The origin of magic derived from the same ancient civilization. 5. Adol destined to save all of East.

You forgot degens who always go on making a deal with ancient devils only to miserably fail and letting us to clean up after them. After Adol kicks their asses obviously

and don't forget Dogi the wall breaker lol

[@Beltane70]

If you look at the maps for Ys, the world is actually an alternate version of Western Europe. Some of the countries/region names are slight variations of real names. Some examples of this are Romn which is Rome, Ispani is Spain, Afroca is Africa, Gllia is France, and Britai which is Britain.

@@masterxl97 The ending scene of Hajimari no Kiseki was just music too, no vocal song.

[@kaitoudark1]

@@masterxl97 A ton of Japanese game developers are bleeding cash at the moment. Just a year or two ago Nippon Icchi couldn't even pay their employees and had to slash staff deeply. Falcom is also hurting without the extra funds of the global market. Covid had also spiked development costs due to Japan's public health policy, and the need to work remote. In what can only be called desperation by both companies, they partnered to localize Ys VIII and now Ys IX. The initial translations for Ys VIII was so bad,a public apology was issued and the game was re-translated, re-dubbed, and re-localized from scratch. This only happened because of the steep budget cuts and attempts to cut corners on development and localization.

[@Rina000t]

And Ys X followed the Ys IX.... didn't get any animated op or music. Sad

Monstrum Nox doesn't have an opening because having actual character animation instead of flash tweens in Lacrimosa of Dana's opening blew out the budget

Even if Adol ever gotten to make girls fall in love with him, he still wouldn't want to go through the trouble of losing anyone again so he mustn't get attached to them too much. Even if beautiful girls like Olha, Terra, Elena, and Dana would most likely appear in his life, he just couldn't feel the same love as he did when he met Feena.
