I friggin LOVE this game!!!!!!!

Currently in Romun Castle...probably a little more than halfway through it. So great. I've played some of the newer remakes Ys 1 and 2 eternal...most of Oath in Felghana [stuck at the moment] and Ys 6 Ark of Napishtim on PS2 [which was really good], but THIS ONE has got me glued to the screen. Great art, awesome levels and great boss fights. So glad I am finally getting to play this. I just wish I knew what the hell they were saying in the voiceovers.

I'll be sad when this one is finished.

It took me soo damn long to get this damn patch to work right CDRwin just wouldnt work right for me, finally with mero it came out flawless. I got it right abotu two weeks ago but I refuse to play it. I just got Ys 3 and I am stuck on Darm in ys book 2.

Am I an idiot for wanting to play throguh them all in order? Do they follow any kind of linear story or are they all different. Just wondering caseu book 1 and 2 is my fav rpg ever.

you could totally skip 3 in my opinion. 4 picks up where 2 leaves off anyway. 3 is kind of a side story almost, giving Adol something to do for a couple years. They are all good though....but if you are coming off of 1 and 2 and want the awesome level to continue up....move onto 4. 3 disappointed me when it came out. I appreciate it though. Oath In Felghana makes it right if you ever get a chance to play that.

I "tested" the english patch so i played it for about 5 mins...the majority of the beginning is all speech ( and in japanese of course ) is it playable with only english text, or are you half lost?

Ys III sucks. There's no way around it. It sucks. Sorry.

Wow, I can't say I agree. I bought it the day it came out, and loved every minute of it. Considering SuperCD or Duo wasn't out at the time(in the US) and being that there was little content for the CDROM2 system, Ys III was a much welcomed addition to the TG16 CD library. I found it much more enjoyable than Final Zone 2 or Last Alert.

I played and beat the new Ys III remake for PC and its totally awesome. I've also beat Ys VI for PS2 - you can unlock the original japanese opening and dialog for the game (I think the music as well - can't remember).

Ys IV for SCD is my favorite though, of the series. Playing it again, but in english was dream come true - that's one dream scratched off my list

Dawn of Ys is easily my second favorite in the series, right after I & II (okay, so that kind of makes it my third favorite in the series

) .

By the way, Ys III is awesome.

Someone sent me the patched Ys IV but it doesn't work.

I wish someone would provide me the opportunity to get a working one ...............

Ys IV The Dawn of Ys isn't part of the story at all. It is not an "official" chapter of the series. If you want continuation, play the games in this order: Ys 1, 2, 4 (for SFC), 3/F, 5 and 6.

Ys The Oath in Felghana (F) is a remake of Ys III and it is very good -- but whatever you do -- DON'T skip YsIII. Nodtveidt is wrong, it doesn't suck. Well, the PCE version sucks, but the Mega Drive and PS2 versions are awesome.

Ys III for PCE is awesome, I find it better than the Genesis/Megadrive and SNES versions overall (my site goes better into detail, but of course that's not up

) . The only thing that is dissapointing in the PCE version is the extremely choppy parallax scrolling, but everything else is a step above the other console versions at the time, so I find it better all around. Not saying the Genesis/MD and SNES versions are bad, they are also great, just not quite as good (especially the SNES version). By the way, Adol having brown hair in the Genesis/MD version was bogus

Hey, I actually remember reading this comparision on your site! That must have been a long time ago.

Good god the parallax choppy scrolling of the background in TG-CD Ys III -- it would have been better just to have a few sprite clouds over a static background. It was so painful to see that.

Otherwise, I like all the Ys III console versions... but of course the TG-CD one is my fave

.

I never realized that Adol had brown hair! Did he really have brown hair, or do televisions make it look brown? That's too funny...

Check out the Ys animes - on the last disc you'll see a trailer for another Ys anime, but with characters from the PC-Engine version

edit: I mean from PCE Ys IV.

Anyway, I beat the Ys III for snes 2 times. I haven't played the genesis version much, but I'll have to go back and check it out. Both the MD/SNES version might have better scrolls, but the lack of awesome music scores them below the PCE version - anyday. The somewhat choppy scrolls were better then no scrolls in my opinion - atleast they were better than the Ninja Gaiden scrolls

Keranu · « **Reply #13 on:** March 31, 2006, 12:43:45 PM »

There was one small part in the TGCD version of Ys III where the scrolling was excellent, but there might not've been any parallax in that scene so that's why. I believe it was in the back parts of the cave when you have to go back there again.

Hmmm.... what did I say in another thread? Biased? Yeah -- that's gotta be it.
