out of curiosity, can an ultrabook run this? My gaming rig is back at my apartment while I'm away for a week...

So long as your ultrabook's got a couple gigs of RAM, a decent processor and a GPU with a hardware vertex shader, you should be fine. You might not be able to crank EVERYTHING, but it'd run, I bet.
Also twelve pages in 13 hours. Brings a tear to my eye, lads.

Intel Core i5-2557M
Intel HD Graphics 3000

Haven't gamed on an integrated graphics in nearly a decade. No clue how they perform these days.
It will run fine.

Man, this was a total impulse buy today and I've clocked in at 2:30 with more to come tonight. So much fun!
After reading some impressions before buying, you guys helped Ys my purchase.

The timing on it seems pretty ridiculous.
Go into the Redist folder of the game, you'll find a music folder with the entire game soundtrack in OGG format
hmm... for me it as under release and then music folders.
Maybe it was included with the latest Japanese release? Plus it doesn't hurt to keep broader compatibility, not that I can imagine anyone can even run Steam on DirectX 8 hardware.

What graphics config is optimal this game? I only messed with it for a couple mins before work, but the stretch at 1080p is a little rough.

Purchased but probably won't play it for a while. Finished the PSP version last week and currently playing through Ys II.
Haven't been able to pull it off once.
Just gave up since I really didn't need it lol :/

So, I want to get this game, but I also want to play the Ys games in order (I'm kind of a bitch in that regard). Would finishing Ys I&II on the DS be ideal for this purpose?
so how long is this game? and it looks like zelda?
I was going to buy this on PSP last week, but I think i'm going to get the PC version now... shame there's no MAC version on Steam... what is it with mac versions on steam... there was a big hoo ha when it first launched but now there's hardly any MAC versions of games... MAC computers are selling by the truckloads... are they not selling mac versions or something... it should be demanded that steam is preinstalled on every MAC and it opens when you boot the computer up... (or wait is that the steambox they are making?)

Avoid the DS version. If you have no way of getting Complete on PC or Chronicles on PSP, then grab the VC version of Book I & II on Wii.

Getting just one level can actually make a fairly big difference in this game. I think I remember being kind of hit and run with that boss as well. The downward lunge is useful.
This game was made a while ago, and they never developed a Mac version.
And generally, Steam usually puts up the Mac version of games if they are made. That's up to the developers that make the games, not Valve.

Anya, you piratical trollop, where did you hide all the raval
I found three of them (garden, pikkards, bar) but I'm missing the one "hidden under a window"!
We were talking about this in the pre-release thread: it's very unlikely we'll see Complete OR Chronicles. Complete runs exclusively in 640x480, 256 color mode; the Ys Eternal ports which Complete collects are from the 1990s. Chronicles on PC is little more than the PSP game poorly emulated. Both of them are somewhat suboptimal. Ironically, the best way to experience I & II at this point is on the PSP itself.

Thanks guys, gonna look for I&II complete for PC then. I'll muscle through it partly for the sake of supporting xseed on this release lol
yes it was a long shot... but i hate using bootcamp and switching over to PC just to play my steam games... i know they just went ahead and released the PC version... would have been nice if they touched it up a bit, put the wide screen support in, voice acting, MAC support. maybe now its done so well we'll get these upgrades.
so how long does it take to complete the game?

As I noted above, the PSP version of I & II is probably the definitive version currently, if you own a PSP. If you get Chronicles, you'll need a fan-translation patch currently.

What about Ys VI Ark of Napishtim? Apparently it had a PC release, was it any good?
Yes. It uses the same engine as this game, runs the same. Deuce, the translator who provided the script for this game to XSEED, has said that he has a translated script for Ark of Napishtim for them to use as well, so hopefully that'll get released as well. If not, there is a fan translation patch available for the PC version as well.
You might need to set your screen resolution to 1 notch below your monitors native res to ungray the options for scaling, you want to select "maintain aspect ratio".

You have an AMD card? How did you do that, I have no idea how to do anything with that new layout.

tears...my PSP has been sitting in a drawer ever since I got behind in CFW and didn't bother sorting through all the updates. Maybe if I can nab the PSP version easily I'll sort through the CFW issue. UMDs are terrible that way. The CFW thing has also left me with a sealed copy of Persona 3 PSP completely untouched, so I could play that too as a matter of fact.
No, I have an Nvida card, a GTX 460.
"sorting through the CFW issue" = "updating to latest official firmware and following these directions"
I was stuck for awhile on him, then I went and ground out another level, came back and kicked his ass
I was having trouble with him too at first. I leveled up to level 7 and went back to town to buy a new sword. Then I went back to fight the boss. I just backed off him when he was attacking and jumped when a sword came close to me. Beat him easily.
