When, when, when. I am waiting for this to come out for PSP, or is the PS2 version actually coming to NA?

tomorrow 
PS2 version is coming.
It was on the recent Konami demo disc.
It looks more detailed than the PC version, but only runs at 30 fps (unlike the PC version). Also, the sound quality was inferior for some reason (the music was VERY compressed sounding in the demo).
I've already finished the game, though. I really enjoyed it, as expected, and would recommend it to anyone interested.

A friend of mine is a Ys nut and bought some special edition DVD package of the game. He allowed me to borrow it after finishing it up (it's not too terribly long). Sadly, I had to give it back and no longer have access to the game. I may end up buying it on PS2 as I've had the urge to play it again.
Konami release list sez next Spring sometime. PSP version is tentatively a launch game, I think, but I wouldn't bet your shirt on it.
It's worth noting that the US PS2 version also changes the character sprite style. Less big-headed, more even proportions, still lookin' kinda SD, I don't frankly get why they bothered, doesn't bug me either way.

Why would they do that? The music is one of the hallmarks of the Ys series. I hope it was done with Falcom's approval.belgurdo said:

See, I figure Ys has no hope of tapping a mainstream market, and anime whores are its only chance at significant sales. Ya never know, though.
I can't speak to the music, haven't heard enough of the remake and never played the original anyway. Perversely, I sorta hope they did, because watching Falcom freaks run around like rats in a death-cage is fucking hilarious.

They didn't CHANGE the sprite characters, they REMOVED them. The PS2 version uses fully polygonal characters and enemies now...
The music in the demo was NOT reworked, however. The tunes were exactly the same...just recorded poorly (I have NO idea why).
BojTrek said:
No, Ys VI on the PC is only available in Japanese (AFAIK). The game is generally straightforward, but I could see someone getting stuck if they couldn't read the dialog...
You could see if there is a decent FAQ lying around, but who wants to play a game with a FAQ by their side?

The PS2 music is the same as the PC, the PSP version is the one that'll have the entire soundtrack with a new one.

Btw, [Eternya] Y's VI Material Collection get

A Shining Example
Ys VI is nice and all...but I want a complete Ys collection to come to the states!!!
because the music in ys is a seperate license from the game and costs a lot. they're keeping the vast majority of the music, i think, but they're reworking some tunes but keeping it all to the "ys style", the US producer (or product manager, i forget) assured me at their gamers day a couple months back.jiji said:
yeah. i mean, people say this game couldn't appeal to a mainstream market, but i think it's not too far off baldur's gate/champions of norrath in the look/feel, character portraits aside, and that's just an aesthetic difference. (yes, i know it has jumping, but you get my idea.)belgurdo said:
i love anime, but i don't like SD sprite game characters at all anymore. they're so fucking over. works on PSP and GBA, but otherwise.. we can do better these days.
ferricide said:
Yeah dude, SD should have died with the 80s. Other than appealing to a certain demographic, there should be no reason why in 2004 I'm still playing games where a 30 year old black knight who carries a sword as big as he is still is being represented by a 2 inch tall munchkin
i remember whatever IGN editor imported it freaking out about the shittiness of the PS2 port, but IMO it was OK. certainly it had some silly issues, but in general it looked fine and functioned adequately... it was released by digicube, who are now defunct, so fuck knows if anyone could release it here. i didn't play it more than, say, 1/3 into ys I and didn't even spot check ys II, so, maybe it has more problems later on.Brandon F said:
btw, NEC (also now defunct) tried to put it out here but sony rejected it. i can kinda see where they're coming from, there. it'd make a great $20 game, though.
taito's porting ys III and IV to PS2. in fact, ys III should have just come out like last week (AFAIK no sign of it on NCS, though.) actually, looks like the release date has changed (to "undecided") so i dunno what's up with it.
http://www.taito.co.jp/d3/cp/ys3/
hoping it's a fairly extensive remake. i mean, even if they fix the gameplay and completely redo the graphics, Y6090 for ys III is a bit much, guys. of course, i'll buy it eventually...
would be neat if someone waited for the III and IV and then packed 'em with digicube's I & II as a big ys compilation for PS2. quick, get victor ireland on the phone!

THANK YOU! I said on here for the longest time that I had NO problems with Y's Eternal Story. I don't know what the hell he was talking about, but my copy ran without a hitch, for the most part. At least, there were no major crashes or anything like that - it still is Y's, after all.
yeah, i mean, i remember having the game stutter a bit during a boss battle, but it was nothing that made me go OMG BROKEN. just like "oh, meh." and the buttons were kind of lamely setup (and un-configable.) but no big complaints.
for some reason i completely forgot to look for ys III at TGS. meh. I AM TEH FANBOY.

Just played through the demo on the Konami disc. I like the 3D character models. They look much nicer than I expected, and they're hardly TEH MATURE replacements some around here might have you believe (similar to the proportions in Ys III). I can live with the 30fps, because at least it's more stable than Ys VI is on my more-than-adequate PC. The interface (along with the rest of the game) seems pretty polished and nice. Something that bugged me, though, was the fullsize dialogue portraits. It's plain to see that they took the dialogue-window-size portrait and scaled it up, and it looks pretty bad. I wonder if they'll fix this before release? Overall I'm pleased, and it's a must-buy for me.

Length usually isn't a big issue with me but Ys VI is really the exception. For action-RPGs. There has to be a compelling element to it for me to go back and play them again whether it be gameplay or story related. Replay value is really an integral part of a game to me and often the games I enjoy most are the ones that give me a reason to go back and play them again whether it's engaging gameplay systems or a really engaging story. Honestly, Ys VI doesn't have either which is why I said it isn't 50 dollar game. I'd say it'd be a 30 dollar game if anything.
