Better chances of a localization (COME ON ATLUS!!)

I wasn't totally thrilled with Atlus' translation for Ys 1 & 2 DS, Duless, Dahm, Labah, Palace of Salmon, Gorvan the Bandit, Luther Gemma, Lance Villiage, Lamia Villiage, etc.  There were some that I didn't mind, Reah is more appropriate then Lair, & Dogi is just plain correct compared to Colin!  So, in the end, I hope someone, like Konami, translates these, but, I just want SOMEONE to bring them over!

new pics up

Yuck!  I'm not sure if I like what I see.  Also why is this supposedly psp only?  Is Ys Seven psp only or is it Ys I&II Chronicles psp only?  Is Ys Seven going to be together "with" Ys I&II Chronicles?  I'd just rather play it on PC like the other games and not have it limited to psp hardware.  Gurumin and Zwei!! were nice on psp, but I'm not sure if I'd like a new Ys to be PSP only.  After playing Ys with some amazing visuals on PC it's hard to go back to playing a new Ys on anything else.  Not that Ys is all about uber graphics.  It's just being on psp seems it could limit some things they might want to do.  I don't know it's just wierd it's psp only.  Thanks for sharing the info.  It's interesting none the less.

Both Ys 7, and the 1&2 remake are both psp exclusive (for now).. Main reason is prob the phenominal sales the psp has had in japan for the last 1+ years now.

Crappy scans, but something for now

Better quality

First I want to say thank you for sharing the info.  I have been really excited to hear about a new Ys coming out.  However everytime I see new pics I'm getting a bit worried.  I really do not like the character design or more rather the art style on this game.  I'm also curious as to why you have characters following you.  Are they going to be playable and you can switch between them?  That's kind of a nice idea, but Adol was usually always a loner on his quests, minus the help from Dogi every now and then.  The psp one looks actually rather nice considering it's psp and from not so good scans.  I'll still wait for a PC release.

The characters following you (from whats been heard so far) are AI controlled (to what degree no one knows yet).

Sounds like Legend of Xanadu II.

Ys I & II looks like an enhanced port of Eternal (which is what I was expecting), the main "enhancements" so far appearing to be crappy character art and a cropped screen due to the change in resolution.

I am digging the latest art....much better than the last Adol snap that we saw for 7.

As a big Ys fan, I'm just hoping the 7th entry into the series (and did I hear it was its last?) will not only provide the fast paced action that the previous entries in the series possessed, but also the kickass rock music provided by the Falcom team.  It just wouldn't be Ys without them.

Still, I'm not sure if I'm digging the new character designs and the MMORPG-like interface. I just hope the end product will be good enough to satisfy and not alienate the Ys fanbase.
