Just beaten Ys I, II, and III
« on: January 09, 2009, 04:17:19 PM »
Hey all!

I did it! As of last night, I've officially beaten Ys 1 and 2 for the Turbo CD (on my PC-Engine Duo-R). Man, it was freakin sweet kicking Darm's butt and the first time in a long while I really enjoyed an ending so throughly and happily.  :mrgreen: Games like these should be given a second look at cause they definitely have the right polish and execution most games these days wish they had.

Shortly there after, I popped in Ys III and stoked how much the quality has improved compared to the previous installment and played the heck out of it....for one day.  :shock: Was surprised how quickly I blazed through it and expected to occupy my interest for at least week. All-in-all, I throughly enjoyed it like the last one but ended all too soon.  :(

Anyway, with Ark of Napishtm beaten, I have beaten every kind of Ys game brought over to the US.  :dance: :dance: :dance: With that and a little review, I can finally commence with my Ys 3-part project video review for the upcoming release of Legacy of Ys I and II for the DS.  :D

I....hate to point this out, but, there's no apostraphe in Ys.  Sorry, it's just a pet peeve of mine.  Anyways, I suggest picking up Oath in Felghana & Origin as well, wonderful games!

Congrats; the Ys series is solid gold.  I suggest you pick up Ys IV and the translation patch (or a faq if your Duo doesn't do CDRs).  8)

Ys Book I & II has my favorite story progression in any video game. The climax and ending is such bliss.

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

Sweet! The pun even uses the correct pronunciation... I can't believe I enjoyed that so much. I'm such a dork.

Ease? That's not how it's pronounced. It's like as in Geese.

I wish I can play the Turbo version of Ys III. I have the Genesis one instead. The prices of used copies are over the top. Last time I saw one go for $80.

Ah the age old argument.

I too thought it was pronounced "EESE" (like in EAST without the T)

That's crazy, I just picked one up in November for $20 Best Offer accepted.  Keep looking man, you shouldn't pay more than $25 for it.

Correct. I used to pronounce it Why's when I had it on the Sega Master System, but since then, I have learned better from the speech in the game visual scenes. Once you play the PCE/TG version it really clears up all that confusion!

It's close enough for my. It wasn't "wise", and as long as it isn't that, I'm OK with it.
