Also worth mentioning is that Ys I&II was perhaps the most popular RPG on the TG-CD, which was ported to Virtual Console a few months ago, and a remake is came out for the DS last week. The series has been around for quite a while, going as far back as the Master System.

Can't say I've heard of the game, but it does look fun. I may pick it up for PSP, and if it's on PC then that too.

Looks great. It says an english patch will be available? Hmmm! I tend to hate playing these sorts of games on PC, but I just might try it.

I wish they'd port it to PSP.

First you admit that it isn't popular over here in the US then you question why no one knows what this is... You answered your own question earlier.

I played a demo for one of these games back on the PS2 and that's pretty much my only experience with the series. I didn't really like it. Top down camera and real-time combat don't really go all that well together, it just seemed really awkward.

I love the series. Unfortunatelly Falcom doesn't release their games outside Japan, we have to wait many years for fan translations. Ys VII will be PC exclusive like Ys: Oath in Felghana and Ys: Origin? I hope to see the graphics and gameplay going to another level of depthness and beauty :D

Since this is a main installment to the series I wouldnt doubt Falcom winds up localizing it. They've been doing goood with localizing some of their games.

Nope, 1 and 2 never came out on the PSP, just the DS, so far. Yes, APPARENTLY Chronicle will be a PSP prt of 1 and 2 for the PSP.

7 will most likely start out as a PC exclusive.

Also just read that there's a free MMO of the game in the making. LINK Hopefully it won't have the dull combat system every other free-to-play MMO has. (Click the target to attack, do a few specials...it dies. Repeat.)

In the US, no. Not all the games have been localized and TBH we got the inferior versions of each, but Japan knows better, Its one of the top 3 franchises there.

Yeah, there are plenty of great PC games being released in Japan every year, shame hardly anything ever get released in english. It's pure idiocy, because they could just add subtitles and put it out on STEAM and they would definitly make a good profit on it

Absolutely. The PC version of Ark of Napishtim (PSP game) is vastly superior to the PSP game, its the definitive version. Better graphics, smooth translation, extras and such. A translation patch is available.

Ys I and II COMPLETE is also superior to Legacy of Ys (DS game), its sprite quality and translation are perfect.

Actually, if you interested in the series go here, Classic Gaming- Ys Series : http://hg101.classicgaming.gamespy.com/ys/ys.htm

It has breif summarys and pics of every Ys game, awesome site.

Actualy, no. The story for the most part is self contained so only2 characters have connections to past games, its no big deal.
