    The Y's series is probably one of the most criminally under recognized games of all time, at least in the west. While it may not be the most progressive of game series in terms of game play, it's hard to argue that the soundtracks are perhaps some of the most phenomenal in game history, rivaling even those of the legendary Nobuo Uematsu. Listen to the remake of Y's 3: Oath in Felghana OST and tell me it's not one of the greatest things you've ever heard in your life.

    15:45 Fun fact. That voice is by Lawrence Sampson, otherwise known as MasakoX, who is better known in the internet world as the voice of Goku in the megahit Dragon Ball Z Abridged. I think it's really awesome someone did this dub and kind of wish he'd tackle more Japanese RPGs (or any Japanese CD games for that matter) that deserve such a treatment.

    Ys 3 on the master system was one of my favourite games for the longest time. Seeing it again really brings it all back.
    I've been on a Game Sack binge for about a week now and have steadily worked my way through all of the episodes.
    Thanks so much for doing these episodes, I hope there are more to come for a long time.

    Ys Books I & II for the Turbografx (I had the Turboduo) is easily my favorite game of all time. The action, music, and even the story (while minimal in the first book was front and center in the second) were just top notch for the time. And I still remember the day my dad and I visited Electronics Boutique and it was on the shelf. I didn't even have to beg (luckily my dad was an RPG gamer, we tackled Phantasy Star II together), we got the game and I believe I played it all night long. It was just...awesome. What I wouldn't give to feel that way about a game again.

    Hey Joe, thanks for the honorable mention and that was also pretty cool that you got HappyConsoleGamer to join in on this! Surprisingly, I actually learned something new about Ys from this: Thomas H. Church who voiced the character of Goban Tobah, is one in the same as Thomas Haden Church, the now well-known/famous movie actor (SpiderMan 3's "Sandman")!! I never realized just how well-funded the "Ys Book I&II" dub was and no wonder it holds up so well even today. I only ever knew of Alan Oppenheimer, the well-known TV voice-actor of the time, because of how much his name would get dropped, but yeah, this was news to me!

    • @GameSack
      @GameSack  10 лет назад +2

      Yeah! Did I not mention Thomas Haden Church? If not, I meant to. I may have in our TurboGrafx episode. And of course Alan Oppenheimer. Oh! And the guy who voices Luta Gemma is Bumblebee in the original Transformers and I think voiced Spider-Man in a cartoon that preceded TF. It's too bad they didn't have the same VO funding for Ys 3.

    • @NightWolve75
      @NightWolve75 10 лет назад

      Game Sack Yeah, that's what I was saying, I learned something new about Ys from your episode! I never knew who any of the actors were really when I beat the game and saw the Credits roll (of course, I never paid too much attention to that when I was young), and never made the connection to Thomas H. Church to the actor that I now know. But yeah, that's pretty cool. I'll have to play the game again some time and pay attention to his voice to see how recognizable it is.

    Well, i just started to dive into the series (with Origin) and i have to say, i instantly understood the fandoms passion for this series.
    As simplistic as the games themselves are, they ooze with charme and love.
    But seriously Game Sack, if youre willing to buy a PSP / Vita for Ys releases, do yourselves a favor and invest in a cheap (maybe used) laptop that meats the recommended hardware requirements (and those are anything but high) and play Origin.
    Its been ages since i got hooked by a game this much. And with the definitive versions of Ys 1,2 and 3 available, you owe it to yourselves ;)

    • @N3rd_House
      @N3rd_House 9 лет назад

      Fuck yeah, another fan! Got it on Steam?

    • @MaverickHunterXZA
      @MaverickHunterXZA 9 лет назад +3

      Yup, Origin, Chronicles+ and Felghana ;)
      And if the rumors are true, XEED is working on bringing the original windows version of Napishtim to steam and touch it up for modern systems.

    • @N3rd_House
      @N3rd_House 9 лет назад

      I'd love to see that and Ys Seven make their way to Steam. Seven is probably my all-time favorite up to this point. Origin a VERY close second.
      Look me up on Steam, I have the same avatar there, in case there's another Nerd House....but I think I'm the only one.

    • @MaverickHunterXZA
      @MaverickHunterXZA 9 лет назад

      NerdHouse To be fair, Seven isnt really in need of a remake. But Napishtim had a pretty botched PSP port and the PS2 port, although quite competently done, doesnt quite have the same charme as the original.
      But its farm from being bad really, though id prefer the Windows version with its spirte characters and all that :)
      But as it stands, we have a pretty competent version of any Ys title available in english in pretty much every region.
      The only one missing is 5, which Falcom is currently working on (Vita and PS4) as rumor has it.
      My Steam handle is einherjarzx (man, i hate that stupid zx suffix :P)
      Though i have to say that i rarely use it for anything but purchase and launch games ;)

    • @N3rd_House
      @N3rd_House 9 лет назад +1

      I didn't say I wanted a remake. "I'd like to see it on Steam" = port. Being able to play Ys Seven (my favorite of the series) on PC/Steam would be awesome since my PSP no longer holds a charge, and I don't want to keep buying batteries for it.

  • @NopeNaw
    @NopeNaw 9 лет назад +16

    Kinda bugging me that you either didn't do the research, or simply didn't care, but the versions of Ys I & II on DS and PSP were ports of the Windows version that came out in 2001, called Ys I & II Complete.
    Also, after talking about the PS2 Taito version of Ys III you started talking about Oath in Felghana, and how it "was eventually remade" which sounds very silly when both Oath in Felghana and the Taito version of Ys III came out the same year, 2005.
    Similarly, you didn't mention that Ark of Napishtim was originally released in 2003, and not by Konami. Konami only handled the PS2 and PSP ports. Heck, it even displays the proper year in the title screen of most of these games. Maybe it's nitpicking, but it still bugs me.
    Still, I love the Ys games and it's still a good retrospective of the series.
    And it seems you haven't done a full save game transfer from Golden Sun 1 to Golden Sun 2 without a link cable. If you thought those passwords were bad, try a password that's 260 characters long! You'll weep!

    • @GameSack
      @GameSack  9 лет назад +12

      Some of that is nitpicking, yes. As for the Ys 3 thing Oath of Felghana is a remake. Doesn't really matter when it came out. I chose to group all of the "standard" Ys 3 versions together before moving on to Felghana.

    • @The_Real_DCT
      @The_Real_DCT 9 лет назад

      Jeremy Krazyman what are you talking about different story? it's the same basic story just expanded and yes it's technically a remake and if you don't agree go take it up with the company who made it Falcom who put it down as a remake or re-imagining of Wanders of Ys. Remakes don't have to be the exact same thing as the original just with newer graphics

    • @questionmark5210
      @questionmark5210 9 лет назад

      Jeremy Krazyman Because of course, old age naturally leads to being more knowledgeable.
      Whether you like it or not, it's a remake. The people who created the actual game have stated it's a remake.

    • @trueMCGRaven
      @trueMCGRaven 9 лет назад

      Jeremy Krazyman First of all: Learn english. Thank you. Do you know the difference between remake and remaster? No. What you demand is a remaster. As in the same game just prettier. What we got was a remake. The same concept with everything changed the developers deemed bad, uninteresting or just plain stupid. So the sidescrolling elements were cut for a rather familiar approach. Stuff was added (as in characters and quests) to expand on what was already there. I've been gaming since 1998 only yet i know more about it than you do...interesting how age doesn't define intelligence

    • @trueMCGRaven
      @trueMCGRaven 9 лет назад +4

      Jeremy Krazyman interestingly enough you are CLEARLY lying. You first stated being gaming since 1979 which is more than enough of a lie. Also your raging shows all the more that you don't know what you are talking about.
      Also a Reboot is once again something COMPLETELY different. A reboot takes the characters and revamps their whole story. Get your facts straight dipshit
      here just slight proof that you are clearly lying

      retrodark gamer
      I guarantee that I'm more "retro" than you think. I play more older games than I do newer ones. I use emulators now to play Atari, ZX, Commodore, NES, Intellivision, all SEGA's systems including their first SG-1000 console, all of Nintendo's stuff, Turbografx or Pc Engine, CD, Supergrafx, Turbo Duo,... I literally know about every game console there is and I own a good chunk of titles for each, physical and rom. I was born in 1996 and the only games I could afford in my family were older ones which usually cost less. I eventually got on board with the new but there's always something from the past that I want to explore. When times were much more limited in terms of tech. I know much more about retro than you probably. You may know more about the experience from living during that time but I've gone as deep as I could go.

    "This is the definitive version (SegaCD) of Ys I and II that everyone should enjoy."
    In my opinion it is the "Ys I & II Chronicles+" version for WIndows that was released about 4 months before this video was published. To date, this is still the definitive version of the first 2 games, and afaik most games in the series are foremost computer RPG's anyway, the console ports come afterward. They have since released I and II again for mobile phones, but they go back to being based on the PSP port, not Chronicles+.

    yeah, it's Eeees, イース... sounds like "ease".
    Never a big fan of RPG, but Ys and Tale, The legend of heroes, shining are the only four series I enjoy the most.
    btw, my favorite title of Ys series is Ys Origin.

    You don't emphasize enough the one thing that unites the series and makes the overarching story into a united and cohesive whole, and makes Adol into a compelling, relatable hero.
    Without this, you're missing Adol's entire personality and character arc.

    Got the first 2 off of Steam, so far it seems like an upscaled version of the PSP version. It's really fun!

    • @L2Nuku
      @L2Nuku 8 лет назад

      Actually the steam and psp versions are rereleases of the early 2000's pc versions, same goes for Ys6 which started on pc, for some reason konami altered the ps2 conversion by using polygon characters and cutscenes that don't belong or fit.

    • @DennisForstner
      @DennisForstner 8 лет назад +1

      +L2Nuku like how the FF7 and FF8 rereleases for Steam, and FF7 for the PS4, were rereleases of their PC ports from like 18 years ago?

    This episode was great. Never paid much attention to the Y's series of games but you convinced me to get into it. It's hard since it's spread over so many systems.
    Thanks for your hard work! Game Sack has some of the highest production values on RUclips.

      Game Sack It does play further in quality 240p but without any sound at all. On any other quality settings it just freezes. I watched all the episodes from the beginning to Ys episode without any problems at all. May be this problem appears only in Russia. Duh...

    Great video, guys! Ys: Book I & II for the Turbo Grafx CD-ROM is not only my favorite game of all-time, but my favorite soundtrack ever as well (beating out Out Run because or many more tracks). I just subscribed to you guys. Hope I can one day have a Channel with even a 10th of as much success as yours!

    My only question... how long does it take to make a sandwich?? Lol anyway, thank you, you guys actually pronounced Napishtim right!! The name sounds Babylonian, like the character Utnapishtim from the Epic of Gilgamesh. I'm sure that's where they got it. Utnapishtim is basically the Babylonian Noah, so the Ark connection makes sense too

  • @BlackmageAlexi

    Awww, no mention of the Ys games on Steam? I know digital PC gaming isn't usually your thing, but Ys Origin is a damned fine game, and it's readily available in English, you know!
    Also, hi! Tom from XSEED here. Thanks for covering the series, and mentioning our releases. I'm glad you both enjoyed them, and I look forward to hearing what you guys think of Celceta! FYI, though, September is unlikely to happen for it -- that's an unofficial placeholder release date. It'll probably be later. Sorry!

    The only experience I have with Ys is when I rented 6 for the PS2 years ago. I remember it was pretty fun, but I didn't get very far and I don't recall the reason why. It sure looks like an awesome series, though! I do love action RPG's. I'll have to try some of these.

    Spent $400 for the Turbo CD add-on and $60 for the game and it was worth every penny. I was blown away by the presentation of Ys Book I and II, more than any game before or since... consider this was 1990 and I never expected this kind of quality in a console game at the time. Back then, I would regularly listen to the music alone in a CD player(skip track 1).

    I don't understand why the PC games like the YS 1+2 port or YS Origins don't get mentioned. Seems to be obligatory for retro gaming channels to rigorously avoid PC games and I just don't understand why. There's almost nothing on youtube where Retro PC games even get mentioned. kinda odd, especially with the popularity of GOG.

    • @GameSack
      @GameSack  10 лет назад +8

      I can't speak for everyone's channel but in our case it's because we don't have PCs which will run games like Ys 1 & 2. I also am not much interested in gaming on a PC. If I could just boot it up into a library of games without having to worry about drivers, compatible hardware and all of that stuff I might be more interested.

    • @CaptainShiny5000
      @CaptainShiny5000 10 лет назад +5

      Game Sack
      Well, steam makes things a lot easier. You just start up the client and there you have your library. Building a good gaming PC/picking parts for it is also much easier but unfortunately it's still more of a thing for tinkerers and I see that newcomers can get a bit overwhelmed. But if you have a good system running, maintenance is much easier these days - driver updates happen completely automatic most of the times, for example. Generally you don't have to do much once everything is up and running. If you ever get interested in getting a gaming PC just give me a shout. I know my stuff in that regard and it's always fun for me to give advice or help with anything related.

    • @PlakRast
      @PlakRast 10 лет назад +8

      Game Sack I agree that not having a pc is an okay reason, but they should still be mentioned, especially as the pc versions of Ys 1+2 and Ys Origin are some of the best games in the series. Not showing them is fine, but failing to even mention them is also bad.

      Iliek I actually did, but I think I was so drunk at the time I wasn't hearing them correctly. I watched it again and it seems they are pronouncing it correctly. What's strange is in my drunken memories I still remember them calling it, at least once, "ease" (eez). Still a valid PSA, though.

    Y's The Vanished Omens for the Sega Master System is one of my favorite games and one of the first games I actually completed. During one summer in the early 90s, my cousin and I played the game religiously but got stuck at a certain point in the tower. We wrote a letter to Sega USA, and they sent us a walkthru to help us with the game. I had no idea walkthru's even existed at that point. Ah the good ol' 8-bit days.
