The LE version of the Ys 3 remake, Oath in Felghana has been announced.  I knew it was coming, but, it's nice to see it for reals, just waiting for the pre-orders to be up on amazon!

Cheaper than Seven to..though the extras aren't as cool.

[ParanoiaDragon]

Indeed, though, not sure what else they could do, since we already got a map, & an artbook that covers Ys 7, Oath, & Chronicles.  It would be cool if for Chronicles they had a figurine or plushie or something.  Oh, & the ost included with this apparently includes a song that's never been released, not sure what it is though.  Either way, this is a ridiculously great game!

edit-& now the LE version is already up on Amazon! http://www.amazon.com/YS-Oath-Felghana-Limited-Sony-PSP/dp/B00429E6KU/ref=sr_1_2?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1283954777&sr=1-2

Indeed.  Sunteam's calendar is cooler.

I and II is also on pre-order

Wow this is awesome....my Ys Shrine is growing!!!

Yeah, but I'm waiting for the LE version to go up.  Also, I might mention that everyone here should atleast buy 2 copies of each Falcom game Xseed releases!  I bought both the LE & digital versions of Ys Seven, & will do the same with the rest.  The more people that do this, the better the sales, & the more likelihood of even more Falcom goodness making it outside Japan!!

[MotherGunner]

Great Idea.  I bought 3 copies of I and II on DS and gave two buddies a copy.  I didn't know they were doing a PSP LE for I and II.  Good info.

[ParanoiaDragon]

Alright people, you better recognize & obey!  Everyone who is a PC Engine/Turbo gamer is required to buy this game atleast once!!  You have to obey, you have no rights, resistance if futile!!

[Opethian]

Did you know that guy who started to translate Samurai Spirits RPG (Deuce) is wokring with XSEED for translating Oath of Felghana.

[MotherGunner]

Thats awesome

[ParanoiaDragon]

I don't know that "working" is the correct term, rather, they bought his translations for both Oath & Ys 1 & 2, & then doing any editing & shining up where needed.

[Duo_R]

pre-ordered!!!!! With my $20 Amazon credit this came to $19!!!

[turbogrfxfan]

thats sooo cool

The webpage for this is now up with audio samples n' stuff!! http://www.worldofys.com/ysf/

I would given i'm a fan of the Ys serise but money is tight i can't get a psp as of right now....

[ParanoiaDragon]

Get a used one, they can go fairly cheap!  Also, I hear there are some good programs on selling body organs for money!   It's all good, I know about money being tight.

What's does a psp slim used go for these days ?

[BlueBMW]

Usually anywhere from $80 to $120 depending on condition.  If you want I'll keep an eye open for one and I could load it up with all the homebrew stuff you'd need to really enjoy it!

[Duo_R]

homebrew rocks. Do they have the latest CFW that works with the newer games? For Ys 7 I had to actually rip and patch the game, can't actually play directly from UMD.

I heard there were some work around enablers for the new stuff to run on the older custom firmware.  I haven't tried a recent UMD game so I haven't had a problem yet.

[Duo_R]

It's the way to go since loading on the memory card has faster loading time. But still be nice if I didn't have to do that.

Doesn't sound to bad let me know when ya spot one.

[blueraven]

I just bought ltd. ed. Ys7 today..

1,2,& 3 will nao follow.

[Duo_R]

the wait is almost over. Anyone know if YS: I&II Chronicles limited edition is going up for pre-order soon?

[Joe Redifer]

Oath In Felgfeunauyga is available for the PSP tomorrow!

[ParanoiaDragon]

the wait is almost over. Anyone know if YS: I&II Chronicles limited edition is going up for pre-order soon?

I'd say within the next few weeks we should see an LE version of 1 & 2 Chronicles(up for pre-order that is).  After that(atleast for me), there's the wait to see when Legend of Heroes: Tracks in the Sky will be released!  All I can get out of Tom/Wyrdwad, is that they're still translating it, & still has a ways to go do to the tremendous amount of text in the game, & that's just the first of a trilogy!  Tom did finish all his work on the Chronicles translation, so I'm hoping he'll be going in to help Jessy with Legend of Heroes & get that series out the door!

[Duo_R]

Wow I am so back logged on all this gaming goodness....

[Mathius]

Looks like I need to be getting me a PSP soon also! I have a buddy that can hack it for me, but BlueBMW I might be asking your help for that homebrew stuff you were talking about.

[ParanoiaDragon]

Just a heads up, Amazon has the premium edition up for only 30 bucks!!  That's the same price as the regular edition!  Not sure how long that will be for, grab it NOWWWW!

[Tablet]

Oh man $30! Oh I wish amazon.com would ship PSP games to the UK 

It's ok I'll just import it through ebay in a few weeks time, still haven't finished YS7 yet!

[ParanoiaDragon]

My grand total for the LE version of Oath in Felghana....is $9.82!  I had a $20 promotional credit from buying Metroid Other M, so, wow, I got this game for 10 bucks!

[Joe Redifer]

I got the game.  I've owned the soundtrack for years and years so I didn't need that.  I also don't need what is probably a 2010 calendar.  So I got the regular edition.  I hope I don't get made fun of for not getting the "limited" edition.

[ParanoiaDragon]

   Ha ha, you got the regular edition   Hee hee, ho ho!   Actually though, there is one song on the cd that comes with the LE, that's never been released on physical media till now, it's the version of Styx(I think that's the name) that plays I think during the narrator's opening IIRC.  I got both the LE version & the digital version.  I probably won't have the LE version till the end of the week, but, no matter, playing the game already!

[Arkhan Asylum]

Its a 2011 calendar, you dumbass.

  Im sorry, I had to

[Joe Redifer]

I know.  It was a joke, dumbass.  And you fell for it! But it would be awesome if it was a 2010 calendar with two months on it.  Not sure why a calendar would appeal to videogame consumers. And PD I know about that extra song, but that song is not worth $10.

So far the game is good.  The opening was nowhere near as good as the TG-16 opening, though.  Hell, I've already forgotten the opening it was so lackluster, slow and boring.  But the game is really fun and that's what counts.

[Arkhan Asylum]

The calendar is pretty nice.

Its a bunch of little postcard things in a plastic container with fancy artwork.



I didnt play the game.  I already beat it on the computer awhile ago.  I assume its the same game.

[Joe Redifer]

I've seen the special edition as my friend bought that edition while I bought the regular one.  I agree the calendar and its case is pretty nice, but not something "useful" other than the artwork.  In fact, if it were just post cards of artwork minus the calendar it'd be a better deal.

Was the computer version the 3D version?  I seem to remember an Ys 3 remake that was 2D side-view that looked freakin' awesome but didn't scroll.  Was that one called Oath in Felgana as well?

[ParanoiaDragon]

Yeah, the calender doesn't send me either.  I just bought it to buy it, & you're right, the 1 song, atleast for me, isn't worth the ost, & I own the cd's back from when the PC version came out, so, nothing new other then that one song.

As for that side scrolling Ys 3 that came out, that was Taito's remake they did for PS2(along with Mask of the Sun, & Kefin Lost City of Sand).  I have it, it's ok, the sprites n tiles are nice, the music is ok, but there are alot of area's that don't scroll, it's wierd.  This PSP game is the one that Falcom released on PC....the same year that Taito did it's remake of Ys 3 no less!

Ys 3 PS2

[Arkhan Asylum]

Yeah the PC one used the Napishtim engine also.  Its a great engine, and id like to think its the reason the Lufia 2 remake is in the same style.

[geise]

Now that Ys 3 is localized I hope Falcom does Ys Origins on PSP so someone can pick that up as well.  I loved Ys 7 and I own the PC version of Oath.  Nightwolve's translation was quite nice.  My wife is going to get this for me for Xmas.  I can wait till then, since I have so much else to play through at the moment.  I can easily veg with some Ys 3 on my psp this xmas that's for sure.

[ParanoiaDragon]

Yeah, I'm hoping for a PSP port(or even PS3 if possible) of Origin, though Falcom has also hinted at remakes of Ys 4 & 5...which both desperately need it!  Especially 4, since Falcom never released their own official Ys 4, & there were atleast a total of 5 made, with 2 unfinished.  The Turbo, SNES &(much later) PS2 ones were released, but the Mega CD & X68000 ones were scrapped for some reason.

Also, I do wonder if Curse of the Sinistrals is Ys inspired, though, the combat it slower then Ys games, it still is similar regardless.

[Arkhan Asylum]

I think it is directly inspired for sure.  Why else would a turn based RPG suddenly go all Action RPG platformer, right after all the 3D Napishtim engine'd Ys games are exploding all over the place.

[Joe Redifer]

Is the PSP getting a Napishtim'd Ys 1 and 2?  I think that "Napishtim" should be part of every Ys title.

[Mathius]

I was really hoping that this Ys 3 remake was going to be a 2-D sidescroller. I'd also like to see the PCE version of Ys IV re-released. I don't even want to try patching the English translation , then burning a CD-R and playing it in my Turbo-CD. I really want to play that game on real hardware someday.

[ParanoiaDragon]

Is the PSP getting a Napishtim'd Ys 1 and 2?  I think that "Napishtim" should be part of every Ys title.

Nope, it's getting a full 2D remake/(port of Ys 1 & 2 Complete) with a redone soundtrack, & I do mean redone, it's friggin' great!  Only thing I wish Falcom did was include voice acting in this version!  I'd love it if Xseed added some, but, being the bump n' grind gameplay that it is, it'll probably sell the worst next to Ys Seven & Oath in Felghana.

[Joe Redifer]

I think I'll pass on that.  I didn't care for the music in that trailer, sounded too synth-crunchy, for lack of better description.  I've played through Ys 1 and 2 many times and there's no way it be as epic as the TG-16 version.  I nearly fell asleep playing the DS remake, never bothered to finish it.

The DS remake was a frigging travesty.  I couldn't believe how assed up it was.
