Here's a label I made a while ago for the english patched YsIV.

Its a full color remake of the original-

Just drop it into a label making program and it'll print perfectly.

Feel free to run them off for friends and family, but I'd appreciate it if noone posts it elsewhere online without permission.

That's pretty cool, but know what has always pissed me off about the Dawn of Ys CD? The fact that it has a god damn APOSTROPHE in it! This is coming from the creators too, I am so ashamed in them! That's one of the biggest ways to piss off an Ys fan like myself, along with not pronouncing the title correctly and making fun of the "bump attack" combat

I don't mind japanese "engrish", even if it isn't consistant. Its part of the mystique of import games.

I also don't expect non-Ys(yeyes, why?s) fans to pronounce it correctly, but bump attack gameplay is just as complex as many platformers.

Its like saying that all you do is mindless run straight through a Sonic game.

How about all the Varis/Valis Rogress/Rogless army bolgna in Valis II TGCD?

Its still better than the dialogue in Valis III.

Yes, I never expect it either but it's funny yet a little annoying when people mispronounce it

. Bump attack system rules, especially for leveling up.

Ys or Y's, it really doesn't bother me -- but as Keranu pointed out, it is odd that this is coming from the folks who should know better.

You did an excellent job on that label, by the way! Very nice!

I rate it a 4 out of 5

Still the real shame that TTI never release it here

In the end it took a fan translation for fans to enjoy it....

That looks hot! When I first heard the name Y's, I used to take the pronunciation literally (wise).

Pronounce it "east" -- without the T

A little historical background about the Breton city of Ker-Is... All hail Wikipedia!

Me too and I was a little surprised when I figured out it was "ii-sss" when playing the game

Also check out this book http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0671877291/qid=1127288466/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl/202-5767662-0467824

I'm reading it at the moment and it's pretty good.

You learn something every day, I tell ya. I would never have heard about the folklore surrounding Ker-Is (and its possible connection to Par-is !!!) if it weren't for Ys, the video game.

Let's expand (I'd make a new thread, but this might be a short list):
Exile: Templar Knights, Bacchus and Bacchannalian feasts (they spelled it "Bakas" in the game, but we know what they were getting at)

I'm curious about other games that are rooted, however loosely, in folklore/history. For example, there is a HuCard game based on Chinese folklore (it was discussed here a long time ago, but I can't find it the thread) that had a "trickster monkey" in it... it was a platformer. Anyone know the title?

Son Son II

Legend of Xanadu 1 & 2 are loosely related to Babylonian mythology. (Interestingly, Legend of Xanadu is Dragon Slayer 8 -- and one of the sub-episodes of Dragon Slayer 5 is called Sorcerian Gilgamesh.)

Aside Ys, the best examples of Japanese reinterpretations of Western traditions are probably Tenshi no Uta 1 & 2 (Angel's Song) which are, here again, deeply rooted in Celtic folklore.

I've been aware of Ys' history with French tales and always see this book online and someone else I talk to online is reading it. I might have to get it someday for both reading and a "bonus" Ys item

Random statement about Son Son, a couple of people I knew think that the cartoon "Monkey Magic" is based off the Son Son game.
