Still remember playing Ys 1 and 2 on my Windows XP PC like 20 years ago. Time flies. To Make the End of Battle is just one of those songs that will stick with you forever, what an epic piece of music.
Gotta love that they ( mostly ) used a rock-style openingnumber. Getting you pumped up for the game. "To make the end of battle" also works great as ringtone.
I understand people can have different taste in gaming, but I just can't help but feel sorry for gamers who have not even tried Ys or Trails games. They are missing out on one of the best jrpg series of all time. These games resonate so much with me and I love every moment of it.
Underrated game series. That also goes for their other games as well. And its like the Tales of series and Persona or Shin megami tensei series they all need more attention and love.
@@NarutoUzumaski it’s really enjoyable. They’ve gotten better with their story telling over time imo. It’s definitely not bad. You get a real sense of adventure and the world building is good
@@Kn3rd5oftheRoundTable That's funny. I hadn't seen YS videos since like a year. I started watching then again last week and this comment came up. Talk about timing.
@@christopheribarra1170 I go through these weird phases where I have to listen to the music, play the games and watch some vids on it. I have been a fan since NEC released the US version I think in 1989 or so on TurboGrafx CD. I was hook then LOL
I hope we'll get something like ys vs sora no kiseki again someday, ys-style fighting game with both ys and kiseki characters from the modern games would be awesome.
Playing all the YS games you find things that are in common. 1. It takes place in the East 2. All villains belong in the same organization etc. of some sort searching for some relic. 3. All ancient beings are somehow related to each other as came from an ancient civilization long forgotten. 4. The origin of magic derived from the same ancient civilization. 5. Adol destined to save all of East.
You forgot degens who always go on making a deal with ancient devils only to miserably fail and letting us to clean up after them. After Adol kicks their asses obviously
If you look at the maps for Ys, the world is actually an alternate version of Western Europe. Some of the countries/region names are slight variations of real names. Some examples of this are Romn which is Rome, Ispani is Spain, Afroca is Africa, Gllia is France, and Britai which is Britain.
Monstrum Nox doesn't have an opening because having actual character animation instead of flash tweens in Lacrimosa of Dana's opening blew out the budget
Woah, that's actually the first Ys related theme I ever heard, though I didn't know what it was from, at the time. I more or less played through the entire series a few years ago, with it in the back of my mind, expecting it to run into it again... Never got it... So it was from some crossover the whole time? Damnit! x)
@Motoko Chan Ys IX is a good game, but it's definitely a step down from VIII. I suspected it was a funding issue, and several sources confirm this. I hope they get things sorted for X as well. Should be a milestone in the series.
@@allananderson6343 I think IX had a tiny bit better gameplay than VIII cause of the gifts that allow more flexibility but yeah overall it wasn't as good as Dana imo in every other aspect. Still a great game tho
@@masterxl97 A ton of Japanese game developers are bleeding cash at the moment. Just a year or two ago Nippon Icchi couldn't even pay their employees and had to slash staff deeply. Falcom is also hurting without the extra funds of the global market. Covid had also spiked development costs due to Japan's public health policy, and the need to work remote. In what can only be called desperation by both companies, they partnered to localize Ys VIII and now Ys IX. The initial translations for Ys VIII was so bad,a public apology was issued and the game was re-translated, re-dubbed, and re-localized from scratch. This only happened because of the steep budget cuts and attempts to cut corners on development and localization.
Ys Oath of Felghana and Ys Origins are my favorites. Would love to see a Ys 5 remake in the style of them. I don't think the Ys 8 style would work for Ys 1 and 2 because Adol is by himself.
To me, the best Openings in order of music and quality of video is: YS II - Even if the animation isn't great they did an awesome job with that one, Then Ys Origin because tha Guitar and Violin just gets me every time, Ys Memories of Celceta, that game opening gives me the chills, Ys Seven and Ys Lacrimosa of Dana. I love Dana's opening but it's one of the most serene openings, quite celestial, and I like it yeah, but Falcom shines when they make really amazing bangs like Origins and Ys II. I love them all though.
Played everything but Lacrimosa so far. I defeated last boss in Origin for Yunica but a bug kept the ending from plsying every time. Haven't cleared Ark of Naphistism cause my psp died before i could. Currently playing Memories of Celcetta....Damnit Falcom, you're burning through my wallet!
@@hanifj1225 Yeah, that is their own fate alone. That's why Adol never fell in love again after realizing Feena will be turned into a statue when her sister and her is gonna seal the Black Pearl. Even if Adol ever gotten to make girls fall in love with him, he still wouldn't want to go through the trouble of losing anyone again so he mustn't get attached to them too much. Even if beautiful girls like Olha, Terra, Elena, and Dana would most likely appear in his life, he just couldn't feel the same love as he did when he met Feena.
Uhhh, you didn't start with 1987 at all. That's pretty misleading. The oldest original game you have here is Ys VI, everything else is remakes so there's nothing here from 1987.
I'm an American and started my Ys journey in 2011 with Origin and Chronicles. Have played most of them now. I truly wish I'd gotten to experience them back when you did. Ys 1 and 2 for the PC Engine/Turbografx CD would have blown me away as a kid in the 1990s. The West never got Ys 4: Dawn of Ys. As good as Ys 4: Memories of Celceta is I've heard Dawn of Ys is one of the most incredible experiences and I hate that we missed out on it.
Ys 6 on the PSP is FUCKING GOAT. The game is better on the ps2 but goddamn the opening on psp is GOAT. Ys 1 and 2 is my favorite but it is also the first one I played and both opening are great. Ys 7 and 8 are classics OP too. Celceta ain't bad.
The openings were always passion projects done by their developers in programming downtime. With IX, budget cuts, and the sheer size of the game, made that almost impossible. I hope they patch one in later, but they may just be saving the budget for X
Yes sir, one of the best and oldest JRPG series of the video game industry, everygame has it's unique combat system and mechanics I strongly recommend you play in the canon order but you can also play by launch order.
6 and 8 are still great, 9 likely would have been spectacular if Falcom hadn't been lazy and skipped out on creating an intro. Adol seriously needs to pick a girl and settle down already, nearly half the ladies of Eresia have fallen for him. Look at how sad Olha was after he left her.
Ys 2 opening is so creative. It's not just a mix of quick cuts, it also has a very cool suspense build-up and omg, that lightning at 5:01.
Still remember playing Ys 1 and 2 on my Windows XP PC like 20 years ago. Time flies. To Make the End of Battle is just one of those songs that will stick with you forever, what an epic piece of music.
most underrated game serries i was playing ys 6 on ps2 when i was a kid love this game series, music good, bosses good atmosphere is good
今から30年以上前に、PCエンジンで初めてイース1&IIをプレイした時は感動した。イースの1をクリアした後にいきなり、かっこいい音楽とアニメシーンに切り替わり、アドルが天空の浮遊島に導かれるシーンは凄かった。
私はゲーム歴４１年ですけど、これに出会って価値観が変わったのは現実です。PCエンジンCDーＲＯｍで出会ったんですが、何回クリアしてもこの感動は私の宝です！
私もイースシリーズに衝撃を受けた、一人です。移植作品と完全版は良かった。

Ys II opening has the best theme. To make the end of battle!
YS VIII is the moment Adol Realise that ARMOR won't do SH** against those calamity level opponent XD
Anyone else gutted that YS IX Monstrum Nox didn't have an intro?
Finished origin, oath, seven, and lacrimosa. Lacrimosa of dana is the most emotional and the best for me.

This area and song were creepier than I expected. Unkillable enemies, sunken ships, and this music makes for a good spook.
I sincerely hope the lack of opening animation in Ys IX was because Falcom wants to save money for future Ys and Trails projects.
Ys X better be banging
Well yah, ys ix is their experimental, they know this game gonna be bad. So they save budget for next game using new engine.
Hahaha.... If Ys IX is bad, I can't imagine how shaken the gaming world would be if Falcom give us their best effort!
@Motoko Chan Ys IX is a good game, but it's definitely a step down from VIII. I suspected it was a funding issue, and several sources confirm this. I hope they get things sorted for X as well. Should be a milestone in the series.

Yeah. I was really looking forward to seeing it when I first popped it in. Shame they didn't have one :/
Pretty bad sign. If a series like Ys can't even muster an OP, they must have had NOOO money to spare.

Ys Oath of Felghana and Ys Origins are my favorites. Would love to see a Ys 5 remake in the style of them.
I don't think the Ys 8 style would work for Ys 1 and 2 because Adol is by himself.
Us memories of celceta was the first us game I have ever played
Man Adol holding his own against Estelle and Joshua claps
18:27 personal best since the orchestra is dramatic also probably because its the first ys game i've ever played
Say what you will about JRPGs. Ys is one of the greatest gaming series, bar none. A 35+ year legacy with excellent music no matter what the game.
オリジンのオープニング素晴らしい
Wow, they had really amazing graphics in 1987.
Those 1&2 openings aren't 1987. They are from the early 2000s remake.
@@rust7973 Are you sure?
@@xnamkcor Just checked. It's from the 1997 remake called YS Eternal.
Yeah, I was expecting the OP from the PC-Engine/Turbo-Grafx version I played and loved...the animation wasn't that perfect yet, but effective

Same. YS II still the best Op for me > followed by Origins > then Celceta > Seven and VIII
@@shiori2182 The impact of the Ys II Opening is amazing. Yes.
VI is also great, can’t get enough of it
the newer ones use so much flat colours, ys1 has more shading lol. how did music go from upbeat to slow??
These are my favorite (openings, not games)
1. Ys II
2. Ys VII
3. Ys VIII
Already played several YS, Lacrimosa of Dana the best imo n the opening was epic too....too bad memories of celceta didn't release on switch :(
I would've loved to see all the PC Engine versions of the Ys openings.
The opening of Ys 2 Eternal was created by Makoto Shinkai of "Your Name".
Ys origin opening so amazing
イース8サウンド凄かった。ファルコム作品にどハマリさせられたわ。
Wth why Ys seven slaps soo hard 💀💯
ARK OF NAPISHTIM ROCKS !
Sad that a video from 2017 yet it said (1987 - 2024) because Ys openings are no more :(
Goosebumbs YS same with Brandish is just much more superior series, what trails series will never be.
ys lacrimosa of dana
the opening feel sad than other series
*just my opinion
I just played 2 ys series: celceta and lacrimosa of dana
Played everything but Lacrimosa so far. I defeated last boss in Origin for Yunica but a bug kept the ending from plsying every time. Haven't cleared Ark of Naphistism cause my psp died before i could. Currently playing Memories of Celcetta....Damnit Falcom, you're burning through my wallet!

I have Ys Origin on Steam and ordered Ys IX Pact Edition for Switch this June. If this wasn't a sign to start playing the games, IDK what is for me.
ah those compilations when all the tracks have different audio volume
YS VIII sad Music but the ending is not that Sad, While Ys VII has upbeat Music but has very Sad Ending
Ys Origin, and Ys II as well got me bad. Im crying with the ending even though I know Reah and Feena will be turned into a statue

2021 now
The opening of Ys Origins is begging to have lyrics.
Hell no
Ys 2
Ys IV

IV was replaced by Celceta which is the canon version
Anyone know in which game the narrator says "Do you know the name 'Adol Christin'?"
YS 8 Lacrimosa of Dana
And then there's Ys IX...
Better luck next time (Ys X)
