Nice.

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

the writer calls it a pair of games, but every Ys fan knows its only one! i guess after he buys 'both' he will continue on the inernet hype machine about how FF7 was the best game of all time and ET was the worst, and etc.


but im happy to see i get rated, its on its way!

I always think of it as one game, but it's debatable (considering that it was originally released as two separate games).

Technically it's two games since that's how it was originally sold, but they're so close to each other and often bundled so I usually think of them as one.

It's two games. Anyone who thinks otherwise is out of their mind.

It has always been two games, and it always will be. The PCE games were put on one CD, but they are still very different, and not connected in any way except storywise.

.....and not connected in any way except storywise.

.....and the fact that Book II is unplayable without playing through Book I.  The PCE version plays as a single game with a nice long intermission, which is why I (and other loons) think of it as one game.

That's exactly how I've always looked at it.

Keranu has no problem with it......or atleast I don't think he does.  I've been using File Factory lately, they seem alot more reliable then Mega Upload.

oh, ok cool. I had scored both book 1 and book 2 soundtracks complete with spines for only 3.99! I guess no one was bidding because they could just download them,  :lol:

There is no Ys Book 1-2 soundtrack CD. Either you bought bootlegs or you got some other Ys soundtrack CDs.

These are what I bought. They don't look pirated, they seem to be by a pretty known soundtrack company.
