I'm still looking to get Y's on the ds as my introduction to the series, but XSEED has been doing great things. It's thanks to developers and publishers like them, level 5, atlus and Cing that there are still some unique games out there to play. This is some good news you found.

You might want to hold off on the DS version. Part of XSEED's deal is to publish Ys Chronicles I&II which were the PSP versions. They were published in Japan after the DS (the DS had first development rights) titles were released. The graphics take a slight step up and there are more extras than the Ds versions. All in all these PSP titles are all ports from the Japanese PC versions. That's one of the reasons Falcom's series(Legend of Heroes and YS) have been scarce outside of Japan/Asia. Most of the titles were primarily released on the PC.
And the music to these series is absolutely EPIC.

I'll buy it anyway since I am always trying to expand my ds collection, but thanks for the heads up. Is there anything you can tell me about the DS's books 1 and 2 that are out now?

Yeah I cant wait for this, the special edition looks amazing! XSEED is quickly becoming one of my favorite publishers, they are becoming the next Atlus when it comes to bringing us quirky games from Japan!

I have not played a single Ys game. This is probably the 100th time someone on youtube has mentioned this series and I am thinking that I should probably jump the wagon and join you guys.

Splatter or Pete, which Ys game do you recommend I start with?

If you live in North America The easiest one to find right now would be Ys I&II on the DS.It also came packaged with a ST.But by todays standards those ports are nothing new. I find them to be a nice upgrade from the TurboCD originals but they are nothing spectacular.I would highly suggest tracking down a copy of Ys the ARk of Napishtim.It was released on the PS2 and later on the PSP(in fact I believe it might be a downloadable title on PSN).

As you will eventually find out I am absolutely obsessed with the Ys series.

I was really sad that I can't enter the contest on facebook since I live in Australia.

I really hope any here who goes for it gets it.

But that won't stop me from importing the limited edition I mean a cloth map ... a CLOTH MAP! lol


This week is big for me Ys wise I ordered a few things from Ebay.

First I just got the Ys Origin Vista version complete with artbook today.

I have the Ys Seven Japanese Special Edition and Oath in Felghana psp

This will be the second series I'll have Jap and English copies the first one being Suikoden.

I just bought the YS Legacy 1+2 on the DS limited edition with soundtrack because of all you guys. This will be my first time playing a Ys game and it has some pretty mixed reviews, but hopefully it is good :).

From what I read though I should make sure to up the difficulty cause it says it is easy. Do you guys agree? This is for the DS version lol I heard the original was brutal.

Is your Ys Seven the regular edition,limited edition or the YS I&II Seven box set? Just wondering what the differences in the special editions were. I have the YS I&II Seven set only. I also have the PSP Felghana box set.

I entered the contest when the page went up.I think it would be pretty awesome if I was one of the winners. Couldn't even imagine if I played a game and a character's name was SplatterTrigger!LOL!
