so...

[Game_Hunter]

Ohhh, I am really looking forward to this patch, I pre-ordered YsF from Falcom last year and absolutely loved every second of it.  Only thing that sucked is that I played it on my laptop and when I got to the final boss the frame rate was about 6-8FPS so I never got to finish it    I will certainly play through it again when the patch comes out though!  Thank you for all the hard work put into the Ys I&II Complete patch as well, it made all that money I spent on the Ys I&II DVD LE version well worth it.

Oh one more thing, I vote for "Felghana" to be used as well!

[Slayne]

Thought it was supposed to have an H.  Completely forgot about the ending in VI actually spelling it out.

[Dark Fact]

I have followed your journeys closely.
Esteria, Celceta, Felgana and Xandria.

I don't recall where, but I believe I saw a couple of "Selceta" written around in some fan sites and translations.

As for the "Felghana / Felgana" issue, IMO "Felgana" sounds more gypsy-like (as if it was a village in the middle of the Carpatian Alps).

But in the name of the good continuity of the series, I vote for "Felghana".

(And still in time, Hello peeps !)

[motoh]

Ernst vs. Felghana explained: He's Romn.  He was speaking with an accent.

>.>;;;

[Dark Fact]

So far, I do lean towards "Felghana" if you must know. For one, it was only one line that the Konami script made reference to "Felgana" - a line delivered by Ernst. Second reason is cause I'm lazy and having to change "Felghana" to "Felgana" will require editing some images like the title screen which I really don't feel like doing. The motivation isn't there to feel so strongly about this to go that far. So far, at least. If the Konami script made a bunch of references to "Felgana" spelled that way, I would more strongly consider it.

Anyway, I had wanted to debate it with Psycho DeuceBag some more, but never got around to it. It does appear it's Falcom's take on Fergana, a real place, like "Greek" for Greece and "Romn" for Rome/Roman, etc.

Impressive. It seems that I'm not the only one interested on the "real" locations of the Ys' Countries and Cities.

The interesting part of the Link you posted NW, is that  according to Wikipedia, Fergana and Felghana are somewhat close to each other, at least according to this map.

[Seldane]

Here's a better map. In English.

[Dark Fact]

Seldane, do you happen to have this map on a higher resolution ?

I want to use it for a nefarious purpose 

[Seldane]

Yeah I do. I'll e-mail it to you later.

Until recently, I never realised that the world setting was a fictionalised version of Earth.  I happen to own Ys: The Oath in Felghana and I happen to think it is an awesome game.  I'd also go with Felghana and not with Felgana.  It looks better with the "h".

[Dark Fact]

I have followed your journeys closely.
Esteria, Celceta, Felgana and Xandria.

Hm. I'm not USED to that translation of Sandria / Sandoria.
I also wonder if the next Ys chapter will be the LONG AWAITED "Five Dragons of Artago" (Artago = Cartago ?)... or yet ANOTHER Chapter...

[ranzor]

Maybe it's a dumb question, but where is Felghana on the map. And Fact, what is "The Five Dragons of Artago"?

[Seldane]

Felghana is in Germany (Garman on the map).

Five Dragons of Artago is one of Adol's adventures. There's no game about it (yet?) though.

[ranzor]

How do you know about this adventure? Manga, anime?

[MP83]

From the intro screen of Ys ETERNAL (not Ys COMPLETE). It mentioned "The Five Huge Dragons in Artago" as one of Adol's most important adventures, beside "Celceta the Sea of Trees" (Ys IV) and "Kefin the City of Sand" (Ys V), leaving only "The Five Huge Dragons in Artago" without a game. Only time will tell whether Falcom will actually make a game from that title.

Here's the intro screen text in full, with all the typos, etc. Falcom made:

Do you know by name Adol Christin?
Adol Christin .... Thousand and hundred years
ago he was born at the small unknown
mountain village.
Where is situated the north-east of Eulope the western end in Elashia continent,
He was a very brave adventurer, who had traveled all over Eulope and foreign countries
since at the age of 16 till the death of 63 years old.
He who was born at the poor peasant's boy was commonly acknowledged to be a curious
and active youth.
In particular he wants to know the outerworld.
One day he met the traveler who stopped in his village, from when he began to go to
his own adventurous trip.
In these days - only on feet and by ship - his sphere of activity was marvelous.
In the south Afroca continent, in the east of the Tigres of Orietta, the north pole, etc.
As far as we know, his spirit of adventure to unknown strange countries is astonishing.
Can lot of that he kept his adventurous diary concerning occurencies which he met
wherever he went.
His most important works "The five huge dragons in Artago" "Celceta the sea of trees"
"Kefin the city of sand" etc.
His works - more than a hundred ones - are presented in the basement of his birthplace and at present they are quietly asleep in a striking contrast to his activity.
When we read them, we can know his fooprint.
The following story is the part of start in "Ancient Ys Vanished" the story is the first
memorial to be translated and novelized.
The place of adventure is Esteria sleeping in the ocean floor.
The story will develop as he proceeds to the land.
Light and darkness, the disturbed and chaotic era.
We want you to read through the same feeling everything he experienced himself.

[FireHawkX]

laterZ

[ranzor]

That was really cool, indeed. Nice details about our hero's life. Thanks for sharing it, MP83.

[MP83]

You're welcome. Though I heard about this from Seldane first.

[sideshow]

Battling 5 huge dragons would be fun, especially with Oath in Felghana's engine.  Lets hope Falcom does this adventure.

[ranzor]

Yeah, I hope they do. And I also hope they redo Ys IV and V because they really could also become fantastic games, like Oath in Felghana.
