Any Ys Collectors here?

[esteban]

Nice collection, Black Tiger. I see you have the Kyodai US PC release of Ys I. I've been trying to get a hold of it but just missed out on it twice. Also want that Ys I Eternal that you've got. As mentioned earlier, I have both the Japanese and Korean versions of Ys II Eternal coming in the mail. You've definitely got me beat on art books and manga. I take it those are VHS copies of the anime, right? Haven't seen those before.

Those are Betamax versions of the Ys anime.

They are VHS copies of the anime. They've got some cool flyers and stickers inside.

I've considered getting the laserdiscs many times, but they just seem like they'd take up too much space.

They look like UMD versions of the Ys anime, correct?

Ok, I'll stop.

[Sparky]

Since the Sega Master System of Ys.
Played it and beat it and it was a great journey.

I need to look to see what I have, I know I picked up a Ys for the super nes and I rarely buy any sort of  Nintendo games so that means something

Ys IV Trump

[NightWolve]

"Ys IV Trump ??" Now THAT I really had no idea existed...

[RyuHayabusa]

Damn Opethian, never seen those before. Pretty cool.

[wilykat]

Just when you think you have seen it all...

Ys IV Trump

Goddamn!

Ope, we need to see some more of the cards

NOT THAT YOU KNOW 100%: Was the artwork sourced from other places, or is some stuff unique to this deck of cards?

I would guess that all assets are from other sources, but...

[SephirothTNH]

Oh shit.  Now tobias is going to bootleg those cards.

Seriously though I've never seen or heard of those cards before.  We need more pics.

[Opethian]

the same roster of characters are on each suit (i.e all aces are the same pose of Adol) I can take some closer pics of the cards so people can repro... erm second press...ahem...bootleg them later

[Necromancer]

Neato cards, ope.  Wanna play pitch?

I recognize every piece of artwork from Dawn of Ys related items.

^ that would make sense, but I always dream of Falcom rescuing some "throwaway" sketches and using them on merchandise/less-important  items.



Pipe-dream.

A MORE LIKELY SCENARIO: an image that was cropped in one item is shown 100%  unaltered on a different item.
