I personally like Origin the best. Has the best story, bosses and 3 playable characters. However, if you're new to the series I would start with OiF. Origin is a prequel to Ys I&II so I would play those first since you will then appreciate the story of origin more.

THIS! This game is horribly over-rated.
Origin is bad to choose though, since when he finished it, I guess he wanna see how the story advances. And therefore he would also need Ys1+2
I wanna buy all 3 but there is still 9 days of deals left ; ;. My wallet hurts
.Seems like someone has little patience and doesn't know how to play the so they blame the game...
Dark Souls is one of the best games of last year.

I love Fez! The music and the atmosphear is amazing! You can listen to the soundtrack on Spotify. And i had to snag Surgeon Simulator 2013 just for the silly gameplay. And Ys! I Loved playing it on the Sega Master System, been thinking of buying it on VC, but i never got to it so buying the remakes on steam was a no-brainer. Been listening alot to the Soundtrack to Hotline Miami so i bought it and FTL OST aswell. Thanks for helping me out Dunder.

No, no no! That game is a lot of fun, do yourself a favor and stick with it. Maybe restart with Pyromancer if you wanna get through the beginning easy enough. It super reminds me of a game like Super Ghouls and Ghosts, only modern. In the sense that once you "learn" it, you can borderline beat it without getting hit, but up until that point it's kinda frustrating and certain bits seem unfair.
Edit: and feel free to add me or anyone else who offers here to play with you co-op vs later bosses, it makes it too easy but it's also super fun!
Ok someone tell me which Ys to get. [I have never played Ys in my life, i usually don't enjoy 2d top down action rpgs unless its seiken densetsu 3
There are 3 currently on sale with all similar prices, so i ask you GAF, which one do i get:
Ys I and II Chronicles+
OR
Ys Origin
OR
Ys: The Oath in Felghana
I think the consensus is to start with Oath, that's what I did and I loved it

...what?
This. I personally started with Ys I&II but I still recommend people to start with OiF.

Dark Souls multiplayer is really optional, and the game overall transcends GFWL.
How so?

Storm is incoming.
75 cent fine for letting javadots through the gates.
Also that person who just said Dark Souls is overrated is probably the wrongest person I've ever encountered in my life.

I've played for 2 hours and nothing about it makes me want to go on. It's got some great art direction, but the game is frustrating as hell. The game has style, I'll give you that, and the premise is interesting; however, games that difficult/obtuse went out with the NES. I understand why some people like it, but it's just not for me.

Nobody should buy Ys games for their stories.Origin is bad to choose though, since when he finished it, I guess he wanna see how the story advances. And therefore he would also need Ys1+2

well I'm having a blast with Super House of Dead Ninjas, awesome sauce for barely 2$!!!
I have it on the PS3, but didn't finish it. I didn't get stuck, the game just didn't click with me. I think I need a story to pull me along, which is why I love games like Bioshock and Uncharted etc.

Yup, this game is awesome and the developers are adding to it still.

Well fuck you guys, there goes more money
Really hoping Dark Souls goes on sale so I can double dip, the DLC for the PS3 version is $30 so I'd rather just get the GOTY for PC.

Pff, I got a black knight sword from that very first black knight. The first halve of the game was a cakewalk

look at all the health I had left lol is this game for babies
Some people.
No kthxbi.
Waiting on that Dark Souls sale if it happens. I'll probably buy it and then think really badly about pulling a trigger on a PC within these next few weeks to play it again.

I don't know anything about Ys apart from what I saw in the trailer (with no sound) on the game page. If I should get one, which?

You have just greatly enhanced your love of video games, enjoy.
That's all the last several pages have been about.

Hint: Felghana.
That's what I love about that game. Everyone claims it's so hard. But you can break it so many ways. It's no harder than, say, Megaman 2 or SG&G. It's only hard when you first play it, the sense of the unknown. Once you "know" it, it's stupidly easy. Oh no, don't use Pyromancer...it's too easy. Oh no, don't suicide run with the master key for the Dragon Crest shield...you shouldn't have a 100% block shield so soon. Oh no, don't cheese for the drake sword, it's too good too soon. Oh no, Lightning Halberd +5 is too good...etc etc etc. For a game people deem so hard, you sure can break it six ways to Sunday.

It's complete hyperbole, once you learn the way combat flows you will be fine and wont die too much. It doesn't require ridiculous timing, or button combos, or luck. It's very rarely cheap when you die, all the game needs is you being cautious and making smart decisions.
It and its predecessor are probably the most coherent games I've played in that their combat, level design, art, story, sound all work together to provide a great atmospheric game. Get it.
This is the music from the final boss of Ys: Oath in Felghana, and it is awesome: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQ7ruKexLWI&fmt=18
they wont be cheaper
