New Ys Announced by Falcom

[Zapages]

Hi guys

First of all, I would like to Thank you Nightwolve for the awesome translations of the Ys Series. I used to come here on your old forum.  But I think you guys moved. Then I used to lurk around last year. I can't wait to replay Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim and Ys: The Oath in Felghana again with the english translations when they are releasted. Thank you for your great efforts for translating these great games for the Ys Community and new comers like myself to the series.

My first game was Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim. Then I played Ys I and II Complete. Followed by Ys: The Oath in Felghana.  Currently I am going to try some of the SNES released Ys.

I became a member because, I wanted to share this great news that Falcom has announced a new game for the Ys series. 
So far there is no Adol, the main character of the series shown.  :eek:  Plus the first screen shot is reminiscent of the Tower of Darm from Ys 1/2 Complete.





Translation Through Google:

Is not [adoru] [kiyara] which…?!

First it should observe, the prayer character. As for having been taken to the how this screen shot '[adoru]… of the protagonist red hair of the [isu]' seriesSo it is not! 'As for battle with the enormous boss who is Daigo taste of [isu]' it seems that can be enjoyed even with the up-to-date work.

You run and come out John Don of puzzle!

Either the fact that it has been taken to this screen shot is not [adoru]. With like [kiyara] where is different with the 1st picture, it has the weapon like the enormous ax. From the fact that you can look around the sea, as for John this Don it is recognized that it is built in the rather high place.

The first shot sure looks like Darm Tower.

mjmmx informed of this new development. Very interesting. An Ys minus Adol apparently... Well, keep me posted as this develops. Ys games are more feasible to work on than something like ED6.

Interesting...

The game doesn't have much information on it as of the moment with no official title, but apparently a demo disc with a promotional movie will be released alongside the release of Gensosangokushi II and the new PSP Legend of Heroes: Into the Sky game. The movie disc will reveal the names of the two playable characters and the music that will be in the game.

The captions talk about how the screenshots show that there are playable characters other than Adol in the game, but does not necessarily confirm either way whether or not Adol will or won't be in the game. And yes, that is a girl holding a large battle axe. How anti-cliche. lol

I don't know if you guys caught this (you would've had to have played 'Ys IV: The Dawn of Ys' for the PC-Engine) but that 2nd shot with the boss and his laser definitely indicates a remake of the final boss in his final form from Ys IV: The Dawn of Ys! Only thing different of course is that it's not Adol fighting him this time. Things keep getting interesting, huh? I talked to Psycho DeuceBag about this mystery game yesterday and he's definitely interested in "examining" its finer points, if you know what I mean... hint hint *wink wink*

[rocket]

makes ya almost wonder if you are playing as the preists trying to seal el doran into the ground.  would be a fun Ys 4 prequal

I doubt this game will be a remake of Ys IV: The Dawn of Ys, because it isn't canon (according to Falcom), so I don't believe Falcom would screw up the entire Ys timeline by remaking Dawn of Ys instead of Mask of the Sun. It IS possible that Falcom is remaking MotS with some DoY elements, though, pleasuring both DoY and MotS lovers. Only time will tell...

Note: I know that you didn't said anything about thinking this being a remake of DoY, but wanted to tell my opinion just in case before someone does.

I totally forgot about returning to Darm Tower being something that occurs in DOY after all. Zeo-mare reminded me in the other forum. So yeah, it is looking like somekind of DOY remake with an altered storyline, etc. They could very well be taking elements from both games, so we'll see. Maybe they liked what Hudsonsoft did and decided to work with that instead. Who knows. It IS definitely a different story, not a basic remake of a particular game. I dunno how you would combine MOTS, and I hope they didn't cause I thought that game sucked.

The translation through google just doesnt make any sense to me at all.  We will all find out September 28th or maybe sooner.

[Game_Hunter]

Yay, FINALLY news of a new Ys game!  I just can't imagine Falcom making a Ys game without Adol though, I am sure he will be the main player character.  I currently have the PSP LoHVI on pre-order at amazon JP but I might just have to order from Falcom directly instead as I am dying to see the promo movie for the game and amazon mention nothing about the game coming with a demo disc so I am guessing that like Gurumin, it is exclusive to Falcom's mail order site.  Nontheless, I am excitted about a new Ys game, now the gonising wait begins, as like when Felghana was announced 

[RyuRanX]

Wow how nice 

A prequel for the series with two new heros? Looks very interesting 

[babyima]

Very interesting indeed. Someone found a site to translate the language, and by reading about it, it sounds like to be Ys 1 and 2, or before it.
