@video_game_king: Yes, well. I probably will soon for the Kiseki series. 5 games behind now and XSeed has already stated it's extremely unlikely for 3rd and on to come over here (from them that is. But not many people would probably jump at a project that is that many games long). So I'll just pretend it doesn't exist anymore.. to dull the pain.

Although all the fan translations of Ys games, especially Origins helped ease it. Plus the games being very easy to play without knowing the language is nice.

But back on topic, Celceta is a great game. I don't remember if Zero no Kiseki Full Voice Edition was first or not but this was either Falcom's 1st or 2nd Vita game so there's a little hitches here and there, mainly just FPS drops if you zoom out too much in the overworld in some areas with lots of monsters.

I'm surprised you didn't give up long ago, like I did.

@video_game_king: It just didn't come out here anymore. Hell, it's one of the small success stories of piracy and fan translations that helped get a lot of the games over here. Although Kiseki is taking all the steam away from Ys which is why I was so glad with how well this game played when I grabbed the JP version.

Also Sega. Fuck them. Also, I hope Ys doesn't go the way of Yakuza. =( That'll be the day I give up on the Western video game audience. I'm sad now.

@yadilie:

The same reason Phantasy Star is no longer a thing (not counting Online): I thought it'd disappeared during the 90s.

Well it did at one point.

@video_game_king: Why wouldn't Ys still be a thing? King of the ARPGs and Granddaddy of video games.

Also pleasantly surprised to see a video related to an Ys game up on this sites front page.

My collector's edition of this should be showing up from Amazon today, very excited. Luckily I'm almost done with Tearaway, so I'll be ready to start this.

I've never played any of the original Ys games, but I quite liked Oath in Felghana and Ys Seven on PSP. I believe I also have a sealed copy of the I & II remake collection they did that I got from Gamestop for cheap quite a while back when they were clearing out PSP stuff, but I have not opened it.

Oh man I can't wait to get home and get it off PSN. Been waiting forever for this game. Too bad the story is about lost memories though...

I love all the Ys games so much. I still replay Ys Books 1 & 2 from the turbografx-16 CD on the virtual console from time to time. There seriously hasn't been a bad Ys game, they're all great (some are masterpieces). I'd love to see a QL of this.
