Fuck yes, my body is ready.

Aren't IV and V the weakest games in the series? They weren't made by Falcom.

Any Ys news is good news, imo.

I know a localization is years off, but hopefully XSeed will come to the rescue again.

I feel ashamed for asking but what is YS? JRPG series? What's it most similar to?

Action RPG series that has been around since the late eighties. Awesome soundtracks.

Oh dear all things holy I hope Xseed gets there hands on this one also. The Falcom deal wasn't limited to PSP only was it?

I wouldn't worry about it, I'm sure XSEED will be all over this.

I just bought a Vita. Still rather it be more Felghana than 7.

Hope an Origin port is also on the way for the best of both worlds?

So what are the prime differences between Mask of the Sun and Dawn of Ys?
Dawn if Ys is the canon story? So where does Mask of the Sun fall into this? Why are they both Ys 4?

In this week's Famitsu, a remake of Ys 4 (most likely Dawn of Ys, as that is the canon story) has been announced for Vita. It'll use Ys 7's party system.

Get hyped, get hyped!

Well. I guess I'm stuck getting a Vita. Sigh.

But this has been needed for SO long. Neither version of Ys IV is any good.

Actually, Mask of the Sun is the canon version.

It's a series of action RPGs which chronicles the tales of a silent red haired adventurer who goes adventuring, kills monsters, saves countries, wins over the hearts of the local girls... then leaves immediately afterwards seeking more adventures.

They're all fairly short at 10 hours or so, but in particular the most recent installments are fantastic. Ys 7 and Oath in Felghana have been localised on the PSP by XSEED and are worth looking into if you're in to handheld action RPGs.

Technically the initial deal was "limited" to the three Ys games and the Trails in the Sky trilogy (from everything that's been said publicly), but it seems like XSEED and Falcom have a really great relationship so I wouldn't be surprised to see this come over from XSEED at all, especially with an Ys nut like Tom as part of the XSEED crew now.

Sounds good to me.
Ys 7 is pretty good.
So is Trails in the Sky.

*Yeah Tom reallllllllllly likes Ys.

5 was made by Falcom.
3 and 5 are by far the weakest.
Both versions of 4 are good.

I can't even remember how long 7 was now, but yeah I forgot about that one. Somehow.

All the others have been like 10 hours though (although technically Origin's 3 x 10 hours because you need all three routes for the whole plot)

Tom's been wanting a remake of Ys 4 with Ys 7's party system for ages now as far as I remember so yeah, he's probably jumping around XSEED's office like a lunatic right this minute.

YES. YES YES YES.

EXCITE. Excited for the new arrangements too (please let us have the options of using the PCE music as well).

I've never been able to finish either version, sorry.

And I've replayed every other Ys game (except for V), a dozen times.

Oh, and Seven. Since it's too long.

And the fact that if this comes quickly enough Xseed has a great opportunity to capitalize on with the Vita. Fresh new system, people eager for good games, wouldn't surprise me if this ended up doing a lot better than the PSP games, or at least roughly the same.

Ys 7 was close to 30 hours for me (I think 27 hours on the clock)

Ys Oath PSP was less than half that (but a better game)
Click to expand...
Debatable, but Oath did feel like a longer game; must have been the pacing and 'fuck you' boss battles.

I loved Ys7's battle system, so I'm excited they're going back to it. Best day ever!

I don't think anything else can be announced at TGS that can top this for me. I can't remember how long I've been waiting for this, but it's been forever. Need to see it nowww.

I don't know, I felt Oath was pretty fair. Ys I's final boss would have pissed me off though if I hadn't inadvertently read that I shouldn't equip the best weapons in the game.

Nope, no hype, unless an English PC release is also announced.

Has no one told Falcom about Steam?

That's the fourth version of Ys IV. Keep it up, and you'll beat Lunar.

And the first one Falcom themselves has ever made.

Also, it's the third, because Taito never made a disaster for PS2. Okay?

Falcom got way better sales on PSP than they had on PC in a long time. They're done with PC.

Sadly, it is likely true. I am still hoping someone manages to get some Falcom games on Steam, in English, and they are smash hits.

Ys I's final boss felt more like luck than anything else last time I did it.

Personally the difficulty was one of the things I loved most about Felghana. It was challenging but not cheap, if you learned the patterns and fought well then you could do it and it felt really satisfying to win.

And on that note after this they really need to port Origin next (between making original titles, obviously). Everything that was awesome about Felghana's gameplay and bosses, except made awesomer. So good.

Ys I's final boss wasn't the most frustrating though, it was actually quite tame. That freaking Bat boss almost made me give up. None of the bosses in Felghana or 7 did that.

Vagullion actually did make me give up the first time. I think I set the difficulty to hard or something thinking it wouldn't be that bad, and then I just gave up after about 10 tries on that one.

Made sure to set the difficulty to normal when I redid it for Chronicles, and it still wasn't an easy fight. Hate that thing.
