- Question -- Do I need to have played previous Ys games to enjoy this?
- Answer -- No, you can jump in whenever you want. The Ys games stand by themselves for the most part, with only recurring characters/references to other games
- Question -- It'll be on PSN, so can I play it on my PS3? If not, have they announced it to be playable sometime soon via my PS3?
- Answer -- No. This is a PSP title and can only be played on your PSP, and no hinting of bringing this game in any other format, outside of being available on the PC, has been made.
- Question -- Will the game have voice acting? English and/or Japanese? Can I turn it off if I don't like it?
- Answer -- Yes, the game includes voice acting, and has about 1900 lines of voice acting. The game will only feature English voice acting, but for those of you that aren't a fan of it, XSEED has confirmed there is a mute option.
- Question -- Wasn't there already a translation of the game for the PC version? Will we any of that?
- Answer -- Yes, while the game won't be word for word, they are using Deuce's fan translation as a base. So if you really enjoyed that one, don't worry.
- Question -- What kind of control method is there? Do I have to use the analog nub?
- Answer -- No, you can choose from D-Pad or analog nub for this game. Although, with the analog-nub, you can set it to register 360 degrees or limit it to 8 directions. Choose what fits you best.
- Question -- Are there multiple music choices?
- Answer -- Yes, in addition to the Oath in Felghana versions of the music, you can opt to listen to the PC-88 and X68000 versions of the music.
- Question -- Six difficulty levels? What?
- Answer -- Yep! It will have Very Easy, Easy, Normal, Hard, Nightmare, and an unlockable Inferno mode, which will be quite a challenge.
