Any Ys Collectors here?
« on: August 14, 2015, 01:41:20 AM »
Ever since I first played Ys Books I&II on the Turbo CD I've been a huge fan of the series. Something about hearing Adol's Theme during the intro hooked me and I've been collecting Ys items ever since. My goal is to get every game released for the series, period. Thus far I have 29 games and 2 doubles though there are quite a few that have evaded me. I also collect other Ys items, like the DVDs, laserdiscs, soundtracks, art books, etc. Anyone else here a huge fan of the series like me?







Also, I have a couple of doubles that I'd like to sell to put towards other games. They are:

Ys Ancient Ys Vanished - missing booklet - $30
Ys III - Wanderers From Ys - includes booklet - $45

If anyone is interested, let me know.

I have fallen in love with the series. I had vanished omens on master system for years and hardly played it.
Now I have all 3(4) games for PCE and enjoy them thoroughly. I think they are a must for every obey owner. I don't own any memorabilia though.

I got the 4 LD OVA a few years back and love it. I love all the goodies that comes with it like the calendar, art book, and phone card. Same thing with the MSX2 games. Wanderers From Ys comes with a mouse pad, a stack of color art cards, and other items. Love all that stuff. Haven't seen that Ys IV playing card set before though.

I have Ys I & II and III for Turbob, Ys IV for PCE, Ys VI for PSP, the fancy xseed box sets for Chronicles, Oath in Felghana, Ys Seven, and Memories of Celceta; I don't have anything for other systems, because I don't play any other systems.  As for non-game goodies, I have the DVD OVA, whatever music cds and whatnot that came with the xseed box sets, and my cute lil Adol papercraft figure.

Crap, I forgot to grab Legacy of Ys for the DS when I took those pics. So I actually have 29 individual games for the series, plus I have Ys II Eternal, both the Japanese and Korean versions, coming in the mail any day. Anyone here have the US Kyodai release of Ys for Windows? It's the only US game that I'm missing.

I only own the three Turbo CDs. I used to own Ys III on Genesis and SNES but got rid of them for the Turbo version. I've contemplated getting Ys VI and VII, but I've got too many unplayed games to really bother expanding more.

If anything give Oath In Felghana a try. It may be the best Ys game of all.

Years back I bought a Korean Ys II Eternal for Windows PC. A year or so after I decided to sell it, stuck it on eBay as an auction with a 0.99 start, and people went nuts for it, I had no idea it was sought after. Had loads of buyers messaging me trying to "buy it now" before the auction ended, one of them was Adol.
Anyways just had a look on eBay and there are some up there for sale, don't know why all the fuss with the one I was selling back then. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ys-II-2-Eternal-KOREAN-version-Sealed-VERY-RARE-/231644423976?hash=item35ef156728

I've also got "The Great of Compendium The World of Ys" which is a really nice book.
Same as this one here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ys-Daizensho-w-Map-Guide-Art-Japan-PC-Engine-Book-KD23-/361233137304?hash=item541b2c3e98

Yeah, I've got one of those Korean versions on the way. I've also been looking at that book. It looks really nice so I may pick it up sometime.

Sorry, I don't have a shot of my Ys collection without the flipping of the bird part... ;) So that's part of my Ys collection right there. :)

What's not pictured that I also own (like you) is:

Ys BOOK ONE DVD
Ys BOOK TWO DVD
Ys II Castle in the Heavens DVD
Ys: The Ark of Napishtim - by Konami for the PS2
Ys III: Wanderers of Ys - PC Engine CD (Yeah, I'm an Ys fan, so I said what the hell and got it also)

I bought the DVDs used from someone on the Ancient Land of Ys forums many years ago.

I obviously don't own any X.X.XSEED Games titles, never will, and everyone knows why... I will probably attempt to file a lawsuit against them, which I have to get serious about, when I'm in a better financial condition to do so. Win or lose on the merits doesn't matter to me, I want the satisfaction of a legal assistant walking to XSEED's office, handing Ken Berry a court summons and telling him "You've been served..." That would be enough for me! I watched how Agness Kaku remotely handled a lawsuit against Psycho John Schizomaniak of HardcoreGaming 101, so it can be done if you have the will power and are willing to spend the money to do it - you don't have to fly to the location of the target to obtain jurisdiction.

I love <Dawn of Ys and have every game through that, except the PC version (only have the Mac version). I still picked up some other games and have like 30 books and flyers and misc goods. I've been working on putting together a video series, displaying each item, grouped mainky by series entry. This would include "unboxings" of the old Japanese computer versions, which are loaded with physical items.

That sounds like it would be a cool video series. Yeah, the Japanese computer games came with a lot of cool stuff, still do sometimes. Dragon Slayer for the MSX2 for example came with a huge manual, monster manual, and a cloth map. Ys III came with the mouse pad, stack of full color photos, a fold-up cardboard holder for the photos, a large Ys sticker, and a hard-bound manual. One of the cooler things I've seen from later releases is that Ys VI came with a disk with a version of all the earlier Ys games, including Ys I, II, III for the PC-88 I believe and Ys IV and V for the Super Famicom along with a soundtrack.
