Ys 3 remake for PSP Limited Edition announced!

[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.

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.

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.

Redone AND switchable

I have the ost, it's riddled with live instruments, mainly guitar & violin among others, I love it!

It is possible that I will change my mind in the future.  I have a very hard time resisting Ys games.  We really need 5 redone and released here.  4 as well (as previously stated).  Was 5 ever on anything except the Super Famicom?  I would love to have the entire (effectively) redone Ys library on my PSP.

[ParanoiaDragon]

5 was redone by Taito on the PS2...to mediocre results.  I heard they did a better job on 5 then they did with 4, but, I haven't played thru 5 yet so I can't say for sure.  Thier version of 4, while tolerable to me, is actually pretty crappy, very repetitive & cheap.  Too bad they didn't just make it 2D like Ys 3.  As for Chronicles, I actually already have the Jp version, I figured it would never get released here as opposed to Ys Seven & Felghana, but, I was wrong!  So, I'll be picking up the US version in a heartbeat!

Here's a video, even though it's supposed to overall stink, I still wouldn't mind if someone release Taito's Ys games over here, maybe in a budget pack or something.

I am finding that the bosses are pretty unbalanced in Felghana on PSP.  They are crazy hard while the rest of the game is crazy easy.

I got 5 on the SFC, but never played it. I heard the PS2 version was crap as you indicated. Supposed to be the bastard child of the series.

Tax cheque finally cleared! Premium edition ordered!

Hmmmmm anyone have any guesses as to what'll be in the YS1+2 premium edition?

It'll no doubt have a soundtrack cd
YS 7 had the art book for all the up coming PSP YS games so I dont' think we'll get an art book.
Maybe it'll come with a DVD or something telling the story of YS for those new to the series perhaps... that would be cool.

In any case xseed should be announcing it soon enough.

[ParanoiaDragon]

Sounds like for some reason there won't be a premium edition of 1 & 2, but rather, there will be a bonus or 2 for pre-orders, kind of a bummer, I'm figuring maybe it's cuz they expect it to not sell well?  Better get in those pre-orders everybody if you want the bonus's!

[Duo_R]

Where are the details on the pre-ordered bonus items?

[Tablet]

Oh that's a bummer if it's pre-order only bonuses, hmmmmm. Might have to pre-order it then get it sent to one of my friends in the states... why can't Amazon.com just ship worldwide on everything?
