Actually, it's starting to sound like the whole series will be released, possibly on PSP. Ys 1 & 2 Chronicles is supposed to come out before Ys 7, & my guess is that it's a remake like Oath in Felghana, which'll rock! Oath in Felghana(remake of Ys 3) has got to be my favorite Ys ever, along with Ys Origin. I'm deffinitly an Ys nut, part of it, is the super fast action & combo's(think of Ys with sword swinging, on speed, it's so fricken fun!), another part is the music(ofcoarse), & another part is how more of the grand story unfolds with each game. Especially since Ys 6, all the games have become more & more connected to eachother, & help explain things that are in Ys 1 & 2, & even Ys 3 is connected to 1 & 2, thanks to Ys 6(trying not to spoil anything for anyone that has yet to play these newer games). More & more we're finding out about what the Black Pearl really is, who the goddesses really were, not to mention more connections to the Romun Empire, I love these games!
edit-I forgot to mention, I really doubt that Ys 1 & 2 Chronicles is the DS games repackaged. The DS games were made by Interchannel, & Falcom had no input on it. I can't imagine Falcom even touching the DS ones, as they are up to Falcom's standards(not that they blow, but, if Falcom had done them, they would rock!). Also, note that in all the artwork, is the artwork for all the games. Instead of having Mask of the Sun artwork, they have Dawn of Ys artwork!!!
