To commemorate the release of #Ys 1 on mobile, @dotemu.bsky.social produced a Limited Edition art book that was privately given out as a press gift during #E3 2014. The cover sports a beautiful silver embossed foil logo. It instantly became one of the rarest Ys collectibles.

You can unlock Adol as a playable character in #Ys Origin's Arena Mode, along with EX Characters of Yunica, Hugo, & The Claw. Use SP that you obtain from Arena Mode to unlock Felghana & Napishtim versions of Adol.

#Ys Strategy for the #NintendoDS starring "Abel Renford" is widely considered one the worst Ys game ever made. It was developed by Future Creates and localized by Rising Star Games in Europe, 2006. It was never released in North America but did in PAL regions.

"So that's where I grew up, Adol. The Town of Redmont." #Ys #JRPG #Felghana #Wanderers

We have over a dozen free custom #Ys wallpapers for your #PSVita and #PSTV. Visit DigitalEmelas.com and click on Archives. Do you have a PlayStation Vita?

While you can play most of the games in any order, the #Ys series has an overarching narrative that follows journals written by Adol Christin, with the exception of #YsOrigin which takes place centuries before he was born. This book is, in... Fact, one of the six books of Ys.

#Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana has a reversible cover. The spine is clean. Very nice.

Our Game Gallery has been updated with #YsX: Nordics & #Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana. Every physical game, edition and variant released in North America is now included. Thanks again to @nisamerica.bsky.social & @xseedgames.bsky.social for providing them. www.digitalemelas.com/index_games....

Leave it to @xseedgames.bsky.social to include a physical manual. The "Adventure Guide" that comes with #Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana includes a story prologue, character introductions, game tips, and folds out to reveal the map of Felghana along with world lore (see 4th image). Amazing.

Thank you @xseedgames.bsky.social for sending these over. They will be added to the @digitalemelas.bsky.social website gallery soon, along with many other items that have been patiently waiting as well. #Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana is now available on #NintendoSwitch #PS5 & digitally on #PS4.

Adol's mother passed away at a young age and he was raised alone by his father. He was an adventurer as well who had travelled several countries before starting a family.

#YsMemoire: The Oath in Felghana is available now on consoles in both digital and physical editions! Experience the iconic combat and platforming of this fan-favorite entry—enhanced with refined visuals, remastered music, Adol's voice over, and more! bit.ly/GetYsMemoire youtu.be/Ubuz8Ko8qN4

Critics agree: #YsX: Nordics is a must-play action RPG! Check out what everyone had to say in our new accolades trailer!

#Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana is less than 24 hours away!

Love you all. Thank you for following as we journey together through the World of #Ys. All the best from our family to yours.

The original #TurboGrafx16 release of #Ys I & II came with a physical map of Esteria. The game's re-release for #TurboDuo was far more common since it was a "pack-in" disc, but did not come with an outer box or map, making this an incredibly rare collectible.

#Ys: Memories of Celceta releases on Nintendo Switch in Japan Spring 2025. nintendoeverything.com/ys-memories-...

#YsX: Proud Nordics announced. Significantly upgraded Ys X: Nordics due out 2025 in Japan. www.gematsu.com/2024/12/ys-x...

#Ys The Ark of Napishtim on #PS2 had fully voiced story scenes. This was added by @konamina.bsky.social during their localization process along with exclusive bonus stages, characters, and unlockables. The game was retconned by @xseedgames.bsky.social in their re-translated 2015 PC release.

#YsOrigin from @limitedrungames.com @dotemu.bsky.social gets a #NintendoSwitch re-print over at @vgp-videogamesplus.bsky.social. Free shipping worldwide with minimum purchase ($80 CAD), which is quite easy considering all the sales happening this very moment: videogamesplus.ca/collections/...

#Konami opted to remove the "VI" from The Ark of Napishtim title on #PS2 & #PSP fearing that the lack of series awareness in the West would hinder sales. Removing the VI made it seem like a standalone game. @xseedgames.bsky.social later reinstated the full title for PC.

The first #Ys game to introduce voice acting was Ys Book I & II for #TurboGrafx16 / #TurboDuo. Similar to some of the newer titles, these were reserved for special cutscenes while the majority of the game's dialogue is written text.

#Ys Book I & II had a variant re-release for the #TurboDuo with different CD design and no backing to the white jewel case. Unlike the original release, it didn't include an outer box or map.

In the original Japanese games, Geis's name is written as "Gasshu" or just "Gash" in English. That's right, folks... His name is pronounced "Gash"!

For a limited time, buy the #Ys VIII novelization LACRIMOSA OF DANA for $24.95 hardcover /$9.95 paperback, with optional signature and dedication by author Anna Kashina. Grab it here: www.ys-books.com/shop

Owners of #Ys I & II Chronicles ~ go grab your physical PSP game. Take out the manual. Flip it over, then turn it upside down. What do you see? Reah's Trusty Field Manual, the official and complete strategy guide to Ys 1!

#Ys I & II are sold separately on Mobile platforms. Strangely... the first game is called Ys Chronicles 1 (number) while the sequel is called Ys Chronicles II (Roman numeral). They are still available today and compatible with some current platforms.

The #Ys Books I & II #OVA was split into 7 episodes. The first was named "Prologue" while the other six were named after the six Priests of Ys, the last being "Book of Fact".

The Travelogue and Art Book that came with the #Ys VIII Limited Edition on #NintendoSwitch & #PS5 was also re-translated and has many corrections, making the originals for #PS4 & #PSVita the only physical evidence of the term "Ancient Species".

The title screen of #Ys Origin changes when you unlock the 3rd playable character. He is added to the right of the background.

The very first #Ys Demo in the West was Ys: The Ark of Napishtim for #PS2. Pre-ordering #MetalGearSolid 3: Snake Eater back in 2004 would score you this physical demo disc. It had alternate dialogue specifically for the playable portions.

The gravestone in #Ys I & II Chronicles is NOT the same Dana from #YsVIII. Anyone who completed VIII knows it is literally impossible. This was simply coincidence.

Dark's cloak is made of Cleria, therefore, only Cleria equipment can harm him. In Fact... if Adol doesn't wear all his silver equipment before approaching, Dark mocks him before the final battle.

Vagullion is a boss character that has appeared in 3 different #Ys games: #YsIX, #YsOrigin, and most famously Ys I Ancient Ys Vanished Omen as one of the most difficult bosses in the entire series.

New to the #NintendoSwitch eShop: The original #Ys (1987) from Project EGG, short for Engrossing Game Gallery. This port of the MSX2 game is playable in JAPANESE ONLY ~ with English menus and "How to play" screens. Check it out here: www.nintendo.com/store/produc...
