Dudes, thumbs up to all of you for giving me some propper and considerate thoughts and advice here. (Applause...) I have read carefully through this thread and agree with all of you. Emerald Rocker - I appreciate your no nonsense skinny on the Ys series.

I have also had a chance to check out some vids on youtube. Some of the stuff in the two major PC titles is amazing, specifically the boss battles - blew me away. I agree that Ys I and II for the PCE is probably the best starting point though.

By the way, Seldane, how long does it take Falcom to respond to your emails? I put in an order request a few days ago and haven't heard anything. Also, I'm still looking to pick up that PS2 to USB controller adapter. Do you recommend the Maywin converter or should I continue looking for the Joytech? If anyone can hook me up with a direct product link for purchase of a similar product, please hook it up.

Money problems had to give up the internet for a while there :oops:

Sorry to hear that, nice to see you back though. A new GIF in your signature too, I see!

Cavein:

When I send an international order request to Falcom, it usually takes them about a week to respond with a price total.

Fortunately, after that, they're very prompt. After they send a total, you just email them back your credit card and shipping info, they let you know when it's going to be mailed, and then the games arrive within a few days by EMS shipping. Their prices for individual items are lower than other online retailers, but the shipping cost is higher.

New Question - Falcom sent me an email for an order Ys 1/2 complete. They made note that the game may not play on my computer if I do not have Japanese Windows.

I am assuming that it will play just fine, but I just wanted to double check to see if there are any precautions to take before making the purchase.

And that is #100!! No longer a Jerry Jelly(I think)!!!

Yeah it'll run BETTER on any non-Japanese OS... or ... at least as good.

Well I picked up a Super Dual Box Pro adapter by Mayflash for the PS2 controller. Also ordered Ys I-II complete from Falcom finally.

Still, no sign of a Ys I-II w/map for the Turbo anywhere. I'll keep looking for it. There is a copy in an ebay store (disc, case, instructions) at 58 bucks buy it now.

Is there a pack-in version of Ys I-II for TGCD or a re-release of some kind? I'm not really sure what I should be looking to pay.

When the TurboDuo came out, Ys I & II was re-pressed as a pack-in (the re-pressed CD looks different, but the original manual was used again, and no CD tray insert was included... )

I wouldn' t worry about the map (it's not crucial... just a nice bonus items).

Awesome, I think I would just prefer to have the original with the map. I realize its not necessary at all to gameplay, just for the collection and all. Its gonna come down to how much I can get it for. I would pick up the pack-in version or game without map if it were significantly cheaper.

I original boxed (Canadian)Ys never came with a map and I've never lost any sleep over it.
