I'd prefer to see a Ys V remake first, as that one really needs one.

What I want from Ys first....
Ys IX :
A Ys that takes the timeline forward to late-20s/30 year old Adol. The story has been stuck in his early-to-mid-20s for way too long now. I'd love a change of look and pace for Adol, with a little bit of more grizzled look to him. And for his girl-of-the-game to be an older woman for once.
After that then a Ys V remake, so we finally close the loop of all games.

Boo, Vita.
Still, I'd buy it wherever, will soon be the only Ys game I haven't played.

One of the best OSTs in gaming as well. Even the arrange/ remix albums are god tier.

Without a doubt the best Ys game.

this is great news. i have to replay napishtim anyway. this would be a good opportunity to add new challenges and options to these games.
felghana and origin are only a matter of time now.

There's an updated PC version. Come on dont tell me it'd take so much time and efforts to make it.

...is a spinoff one-off solo-style game starring Geis, chronicling when and why he started tracking Ernst out of Danaan. Falcom could get very creative with a lone wolf story like that. Obviously an older Adol adventure's gonna happen at some point, but you might as well suggest we go straight to his final journey to the North Pole.
Seriously. I think Kondo's being sneaky and really saying he wants to get XSEED's version onto console. Maybe he'll give proper credit and make an example of how good XSEED has been for the company's games.

XSeed and Falcom relation regarding ports has been really weird. It'd be easy as shit to make a PC -> PS4 port or PS4 -> PC port. Worse than that, there are cases Falcom licensed PC ports for Asian market but not for West. WTF is wrong with them.
At least Felghana got ported at all. Origin is still just on the PC. Maybe it was unpopular in Japan or something...

Unless it's a remake, no thanks.
Ys 6 has various flaws that once ironed out would make it a much better game.

Re: Ys Seven/Celceta in 60 FPS instead of retreading Ys VI, I wouldn't be surprised if the recent Ys games are coded around a framerate target instead of being more flexible. And I seriously hope that's not the case given how flexible their PC games are in terms of framerate, but you never know what changed during their shift to console.
Falcom's Chinese sales are at least double the revenue cut going to Falcom from sales of XSEED's releases. If they want to keep licensing out to Joyoland, then they have more than good reasons.
You're right! Origin is unpopular in Japan, mainly because you don't play as Adol because gee who cares about these people who did Adol-tier battling and drama centuries before Adol. (Brandish 4 used a similar concept back in 1996 and was ignored/panned/hated for the same reason, not keeping the series's main characters because they didn't fit the premise). Ys Seven got made because Falcom needed to restart the series again, which they'd already done with Ys VI.

I'd love that.
Bring as many Ys games to PS4 as you'd like, Falcom!

That doesn't affect my statement at all though. Either it's a mistranslation or Falcom don't even know what they ported (regardless of who did the work) anymore.

Yeah, Vita has all the other entries besides 5&6. Pls.
Yep!
I don't think they are. Playing Seven there are parts where the framerate drops. If it was coded around the framerate, wouldn't it have slowdown instead?
Man, that's kinda sad. I mean, I like Adol plenty as a legendary hero archetype like Link, but Yunica was certainly more of a proper character. Never mind the other two player characters, who were unconventional by any RPG standards, let alone Ys standards.

That's why relying on hardcore fans, even when you're Falcom, is a double-edged prospect. Adol the Self-Insert Red was too important for some customers back then, and look how their apathy/hate landed us with party-system Ys whether you like it or not.

Interesting that they would do this before bringing Seven/Celcetta to PC in the west. Guess they really are dedicated to the Playstation platforms these days.

Falcom's programmers are dedicated to learning the ins-and-outs of Sony's platforms right now, they have presumably no time/space for working on PC ports. That's why I really want XSEED's PC works to keep selling so they can get outside port teams to bear the burden.
No way Falcom would have trouble getting an older game using Windows code-base onto PS4, especially one most players experience using a controller.
By Konami. Falcom didn't do the port. I think you'll find that to be the case more often than not regarding their older catalog being ported to consoles.
You appear not to have read the statement that I quoted as well as my second post shortly thereafter where I clarified that I obviously do know who did what, being acquainted with the series for a long, long time.

Yeah, but Taito also remade Wanderers from Ys (III) and IV (based more on Falcom's original documents) in that same period of time. Falcom's got a chance now to remake Ys V since they've redone Ys IV, and I hope they go wild and ditch the party system for something new just as Ys V did.
I don't speak wingdings. I need localization!
That one was actually made by Arc System Works. Technically Falcom hasn't remade V themselves in the same sense that Memories of Celceta was really their first time making Ys IV.They did.

arc system works? i didn't know. is it good?

Honestly, I was expecting a retelling of V before VI, but yeah, I assume this isn't what Kondo had in mind.
By retelling, I mean something like Felghana or Celceta, not "just" a remake.

Personally I think it looks pretty cheap and boring, especially for coming out a year AFTER Oath in Felghana.
