BTW.. for fans of the originals on Turbo Duo or elsewhere.. check out the demo movie of the newest PC version:

Remember, a 100% English patch is ready for Ys I.. the Ys II patch is getting near 100% too!!

Not sure how you would play it on a US PS2 unless it was modded. However, I've been hearing something about using some bootdisc, so you might want to look into that.

The Limited Edition for Ys Eternal I & II was looooooooong sold out. I'm sorry but I can't help you there. I barely got my regular edition of Ys Eternal I & II on DVD. They shortly sold out after I got my copy. -_-

Pixy,

That movie you link to, thats the PC version avaliable through the link you sent earlier correct?

Anyone else know of a place selling a combo pack with both Ys 1&2 for PC?

Oh, and where are these english patches?

Crap.. I don't care about the limited edition actually.. I'd just like to have both on one DVD.. the girl I'm talking to about Ys said it was only I&II on one disc in the super limited big box thing.

Yes, the link is to the PC version..

Here is the translation site (with screenshots):

The prices from Falcom directy look decent.. 4800 yen should be $45-$50 depending on current yen prices.

FYI, there is a reason why Sony didn't allow the game to come to the US.

The PS2 port of Ys Eternal by DigiCube was, supposedly, very, very badly done. This is why Falcom is now working with Konami instead for Ys VI.

But it has become fashionable to bash Sony, despite the fact that they may be making a sound decision here.

Actually, Digicube went bankrupt that's why Falcom couldn't even work with them even if they wanted to. Not sure about the quality of the PS2 port though.

I got Ys I&II eternal on one DVD. The box looks like a book. Maybe that is the one that you're talking about?

Yes, Digicube went bankrupt, but Falcom apparently was not satisfied with the port, so they went to Konami, who promised them to give Ys the proper treatment on consoles.

Not sure why Falcom didn't go to Hudson Soft. After all, they made Ys I & II and Ys IV for the PC-Engine...

Hmm.. I'd not heard of this. Do you have a source for this information? I'm curious because, I've been pondering back and forth picking up the PS2 version and if it really is that bad.. I'll reconsider, though, I don't see HOW they could screw up a game like this.. it's so simple!!

My reason to "bash" Sony is based on the fact that the previous report in PSM did not state a reason for this decision, and one can only assume that Sony is doing what they've done in the past (epically considering PS1 games) with denying license to import titles, i.e.: "It's 2D" or other nonsense that kept many a good game stuck in Japan.

Yeah I think that's it. *jealous*

Well, to make you feel better, I didn't get the LE edition. So mine just came with the game. -_-

I decided to try out Ys III on a Genesis emu after checking out this thread.

I hope that the other games in the series are better...

My interest has been piqued, but I can't find any info on this series at work. Can someone fill me in?

Well, from what I've heard that's the worst Ys in the series. I actually never played that one so I wouldn't be able to tell you.

It's an action RPG series from Japan. The first 2 games have been released over a dozen times on several platforms.

Bah, xbox shafted on these again or what?

Ys Online is in development.. Konami has a "multi-console" deal for Ys series.. think about it.
