Favorite Ys Game

Ok; Which Ys, then state your platform and why. I originally wanted this to just be Turbo, but that's impossible.

Then I found this:

List edited to reflect current Ys Games.

Ys 3 on the Turbo. Best music out of all of the Turbo entries, and I prefer the gameplay over that of 1, 2, and 4. It's a bit on the short side, but who cares? Great game.

Ys 4 for the PC Engine Duo really changed my perception on the system, so It gets my vote!

Ys 3 on the Turbo.

Interesting. This explains you recommending Xanadu so strongly.

I pretty much hate Y's III, but I do have the arranged soundtrack because it is indeed very cool.

I voted for Y's 1&2 (TG-16), although it was a tough choice between it and IV (PCE). One I think I know for sure is that I hate any of the ones where you actually have to swing your sword. That DS remake was a huge and ugly disappointment.

FYI, there are a few games missing from here, although I'm sure that all of the ones people will actually vote for are on the list already.

Ok. If anyone protests or posts and wants me to add an extra game, I will.

No contest -- 1 & 2.  3 was okay, and 4 just wasn't fresh enough.

Ys 1&2>Ys IV while III was ok i thought it could have been more.

[Tatsujin]

i don't think those are all PCE titles. wouldn't it make sense to shift it over to OT Console talk?

What kind of dumb list lumps Turbo 1&2 with the MSX, SMS, etc versions?

Anyways, I was going to vote for Oath in Felghana but it wasn't there.  So then, since I refuse to cast a vote that could be misinterpreted as support for the crappy MSX version, I was going to vote for Ys Seven.... but it wasn't there either.

But at least Ys Online (which NO ONE cares about) is listed!  Booyah!

Ok, that counts as a protest

I've added Oath in Felghana, and put in a separate option for the MSX, SMS, etc version of Ys 1.

Thanks for the corrections.

Thanks for updating the list.  Here I come hollering like a douche, and you respond like a cool dude.  Thanks again.

I voted for Ys The Call of Solum.

No Problem Gotta keep it accurate.

I was going to vote the PC remake of 1/2, but then decided Ys IV is too dope to not vote for it


It is really hard to pick your favorite Ys game.  I don't think there exists a BAD ys game.

Ys strategy is PURE crap.  Followed fairly closely by the DS remake...while not AWFUL, so flawed it saps most of the fun out.

Ys strategy?     I thought everyone with a brain pretended that didn't exist. 

The DS remake, was basically a DS-o-fied version of the PC remake.  If you can somehow manage to get the drunken style stylus to work, the ramming system is intact!

For a portable, it beats the choppy version of Ys VI for PSP !
