      You guys need to do more of these types of crossovers. Whether you're doing straight-up retrospectives like this or some sort of comedic throwaway.
      Love you guys!

    Watching Game Sack is why I discovered Ys.
    They are also how I discovered this channel. Love all your Ys videos and I'm glad you and Joe were able to get me into the series.

    'Ys the Oath in Felghana' & 'Ys Origin' are my two favorite Ys games. They are master pieces. Great graphics, great gameplay, great stories & fantastic music. They are an absolutely must play for any Ys fan. 'Ys the Vanished Omens' on the MasterSystem was my first Ys game I ever played. I was an extremely little kid at the time but remember it fondly. I was really excited to play Books 1 & 2 when I was older to finally finish the story of Vanished Omens. Especially on PSP.

    • @spawncalibur1022
      @spawncalibur1022 7 років тому

      Those are what got me into Ys, when they were fan translated back in 2010 & 2011. My favorites as well.

    • @Walamonga1313
      @Walamonga1313 3 роки тому +1

      Been playing the Napishtim engine games this month. So far, Oath is just off. Enemies and bosses don't feel good to fight, dungeons are too long and the story is just alright. Much prefer Ark and Origin over it. But I'll wait til I beat it to really compare.

  • @geekyskye4279
    @geekyskye4279 7 років тому +1

    I love your Ys videos. It's so awesome to see someone who loves the series as much as myself. I originally found your channel a while back while looking for Ys videos. Great job, keep up the great work!

  • @ZioBlader
    @ZioBlader 7 років тому +1

    My first Ys-experience was about 10 years ago when I downloaded Turbografx-CD-version of Ys Book I & II from Wii's Virtual Console. It was Christmas, and when the opening(s) started playing my life basically changed. Can you believe that a game from very late 80s early 90s could make such an impact for a kid who were playing mostly modern 3D-games at the time? I can only imagine how it felt for people who experienced Ys years and years back. I'm glad to say that while the game's content is definitely aged, the experience itself, the presentation/artistic decisions and polish (even compared to PSP-remake)/soundtrack/design choices (not all of them!) and boss battles etc. were still top-notch. The year was 2008. It blew people away "back then" but, I assure you, Ys Book I & II is still pure gold.

    @timhouston8007 7 років тому +6

    The Japanese version of Ys 6 on PS2 was exactly the same with CG cutscenes and the code to add the original ones back.
    I own the Japanese version, it wasn't a change for the USA.

    @nathanbaker9166 7 років тому

    I love that you are giving more attention to the Y's series, it's a very great and underrated one. I actually started the series with the DS version of 1/2, but it was Ark of napishtm that drove my addiction to the series... Probably my favorite one. I love gamesack! and made sure to subscibe to Happy console gamer.

  • @sibbyeskie
    @sibbyeskie 7 років тому +2

    Totally unexpectedly became a huge Y's fan this Christmas. I bought Y's VI on steam not thinking much of it and it got me HOOKED man. I have a trick for remembering the pronounciation btw. In an old English lady's voice I think "that Tim's feeling a bit napish." I'm not sure if English people say "napish" but it feels right. Anyhow that's how I get it: "Napish-Tim"
    I'm a bit stuck grinding at the end 30 hours into VI but I went ahead and bought I & II, the VI's remake (Felghana) and Y's Origin. Will definitely get Lacrimosa of Dana after all of that. Phenomenal series. Loved this video.

  • @Ancient_Ys
    @Ancient_Ys 7 років тому

    6:30 ark of napishtim was my introduction to the Ys series definitely a good game and then i went back and ayed all the other ones :> I can highly recommend this one to new players starting to get into Ys.

  • @niblethorpe6413
    @niblethorpe6413 7 років тому

    I picked up Ys Origins on the Steam sale because of you, and MAN have I missed out. Immediately ordered the Special Edition for Ys VIII before it would sell out, because this is definitely a series I will love. I heard Origins isn't even the peak of the series!!!

    Fun conversation and thanks for sharing. I never had issue pronouncing Ys because, somehow, I first found out about Ys from TV. I don't know if it was featured on a show or if it was an ad for the Turbo CD.

    I first heard of ys on the msx2 platform, unfortunately at the time I didn't have a high density drive as it was only available on 720k disks. So I missed the chance of being blown away at the time (I believe it was 1989).

  • @Kwstr42
    @Kwstr42 7 років тому

    I played Ys3 for SNES and fell in love with the music so much so, that i used the cheat that allowed you to change the music in game to any song just so i could listen to my fav track, the shop music, over and over. I forgot the series for a while until I heard that there would be a remake of 3 on PSP with a soundtrack cd and preordered the special edition. the soundtrack was fully redone in rock and is easily one of my all time favorite soundtracks ever made (thought it was missing my fav song). i became a huge fan of the JDK sound team at Falcom and bought up every game in the series i didnt have and just recently went out of my way to get the physical copy of Origins. I also special ordered the Anime you mentioned because it had a really cheezy 80s style music video for "to make the end of battle" that was so awesome to watch the guy actually play the guitar with the insane riffs lol

    Great way to start off the new year johnny.Talking to joe of game sack about the Ys series.To this day,TG16 version of Ys 1&2 is still my favorite one.Sure it's sequels,have out done it in terms of game play but those have yet to capture of the magic of Ys 1&2.By the way i still need to buy Ys 8 and play that one.

  • @Miakel
    @Miakel 7 років тому

    My first RPG was Ys Vanished Omens on Sega Master System. Loved it but could not finish it. Finally finished it last year after figuring out what to do with the hammer! One of my favourite games on the Sega Master System. Such nostalgia

    I just got several Ys games on sale on Steam, I'm going to start playing through them soon. I only played a little Ys 3 for SNES years ago, it's a fairly obscure RPG series that not a lot of pepole got to play.

  • @Gamevet

  • @tuwile284
    @tuwile284 7 років тому

    What!! No love for Ys Origin?
    My first Ys game was Ys 3 on the SNES and I enjoyed it a lot that so when I saw that the TurboDuo included Ys 1 & 2 I preordered the system. Ys 1 & 2 blew me away too, I was 13 or 14 at the time (remember that time when kids could get jobs - paper route and fast food). I actually imported Ys IV in the days, there was a mail order catalog just for TG-16 games. When you talked about the old lady blocking you that brought up a lot of memories. I never finished the game.
    This year I went back playing some of the older Ys games on the PC. I can't wait for Ys VIII to be released on the PC (hopefully soon).
    Great video to start the New Years!!!

    @muragaru553 7 років тому +2

    With the trend of how Ys game mechanics come and go, we are due for a change up, so I wonder if Falcom will stick with the 3 party member switching or what, since the formula is working for them. I hope they drop it, personally. I liked it for Seven, Celceta, and Lacrimosa, but time for Adol and Dogi to blaze a new path! >:D

  • @MarioSonicDKPokeFAN
    @MarioSonicDKPokeFAN 4 роки тому

    I remember wanting this game the last couple years but the price was high and I rarely could ever catch it on sale. But back in December 2019 it was 30 bucks so i got the game and let me tell you: I was not disappointed. Not since Persona 5 that I played a RPG game so much that I didn't want the game to end. I took my time with it and completely finished it today! Definitely a game that put me in my feels. Loved the twists and turns of the stories. One surprise after another. Loved the characters, especially Dana. Wished that there was another outcome for her though. Loved the music especially! The best I've heard from a game in years! YS VIII was the first game of the series ive played. And i'm an instant fan. But as i look back on past YS games on youtube, they do't really interest me much to play them. This one is my definite favorite! I wish there was an extra DLC story content for this game and I wish there was a real animated series for this one! I even wish that Adol was a DLC character for Smash and the stage and music can be from YS VIII!

    @Magnicide 7 років тому

    Wow! Clash of titans! hauhauhua.
    Thanks for this video, i´m a huge fan of your channel and Game Sack too! Here in Brazil was hard to find games like Ys because when i was young we had only Mega Drive (Genesis) and Super Nintendo. A lot of japanese games didn´t come. Hopefully emulators saved the day and now this industry has been developed in my country. Not as much a i like, but is better than before. Ys still hard to find, very hard to find T_T.
    Even many youtubers here talking about old game they don´t have the experience that you have. We had US Mangá for example, but not as much as you had in Canada. Watching you and Game Sack make me very happy because this kind of stuff (movies, games and old school anime) i just enjoyed in low resolution or only a few episodes on my computer. Internet here was so fucking prehistoric. I remember waiting a hole week only to watch one episode of Macross (Robotech), Cowboy Bebop and Trigun.
    Still talking about Ys... I had played on a emulator exactly Ys: The Ark of Napishtim. Was love for the first sight! It´s a game so simplistic, Adol is brave, and heroic. The action is frenetic and the soundtrack is phenomenal! This game is the truly mean of the word adventure.
    Well, thats it. Thank for the video and i ll be waiting for you guys. Until next time!

    Ys 3 TGCD was my first CD ever. Great sound track!
