(Making up words is fun!)

I know this forum has a lot of Ys fans, so I figured I'd double check with you guys. We're running this thing on Ys in our magazine (due to the PAL release of Ys VI, of course), and it'd be great if someone could tell me if the list of games on this french webpage is correct.

http://www.grospixels.com/site/ys.php (The list I'm talking about is at the very bottom, so just pagedown all the french.)

It looks complete enough to my knowledge, but if there's some port missing somewhere I'd love to know. Thanks!

What's your magazine?

 

[aku:jiki]

What's your magazine?

Same as yours, actually.
(In Sweden, anyway.)

Thanks a lot, jarrod, I was hoping for one of your trademarked lists.

 

[Unison]

So is the PSP one officially cancelled? That was my most anticipated upcoming game for it & if it's not gonna happen, I need to get the PS2 version...

 

[Peter Olafson]

I believe Ys VI is also due for a PC version later this year.

It has always been one... Falcom make PC games.

No problem.

Nothing confirmed yet but it's not looking good.

Sorry I wasn't clear; I meant an English language version, via Konami.

aku: Thought so.

jarrod: the PS2 Ys III is "Ys III: Wanderers From Ys" (not the other way around). Some of the other versions of III are like that too, though I'm not 100% sure which off the top of my head. Also, Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim and a new "Shin Ys I 3D" are available from Taito on i-mode as well. We should make a visual version of your list sometime, would be fun.

PS - Ys PSP is back on track.

Peter: Your name rings a bell... didn't you write some strategy guides back in the SNES days?

I'm kind of sorry to hear that Konami is pubishing Ys VI for PC... are you sure about that? The voices in the PS2 version make me cringe... they make it really hard to get absorbed in the game. I kinda wish someone like Atlus or Working Designs would've shelled out for the Ys series, so it could've got the attention it deserves in the US. :/

 

[Peter Olafson]

Well, I'm as sure as CGW is. Ys VI PC was listed as coming from Konami in the "Pipeline" column in the February issue.

Yup, I've written a few guides over the years. You're probably thinking of my first: The Final Fantasy III Players Guide.

why aren't you using the japanese-voice cheat?

 

[john tv]

why aren't you using the japanese-voice cheat?

Oh, no worries, I will when I get around to playing through it. I just wish the English voices were good enough to use instead.

 

[Mejilan]

Get rid of the crazy-hideos prerendered FMV too.

me too. suikoden IV's voices were pretty good, so it was particularly vexing.

 

[jarrod]

Thanks for the updates johnny.
