One of the best RPGS in Turbo. Unfortunately Japan got all the cool shit back in the day, especially role playing games. I was trying to learn Japanese in order to play such PCE J-RPG classics as LEGEND OF XANADU 1 & 2, TENGAI MAKYOU: KABUKI DEN, ANEARTH FANTASY STORIES, EMERALD DRAGON etc. But i gave up, it was too damn complicated. I did beat Xanadu 1 with walkthrough, and i honestly believe it would have been a bigger hit than Ys, If it had been released in the USA. Damn you NEC!

@123doomdoom Damn, I wish someone would translate these JRPG's one of these days cause I curious about them too.

The pronunciation? I'm hearing it as "Yees".

I've heard something about this game being technically Thomas Haden Church's debut (not that I care).

@Palmerholic Cool, wasn't he in Spiderman 3?

I jumped from nintendo to this. people have to know about these games to appreciate them I feel. great job and lol they sould "shut the fuck up!!!" lol

Hey SS, you should definitely get Xak I.II for the Pc-Engine. I recommend it to Ys fans, and it should only set like 10 bucks or so (including shipping). Good buy. The Japanese language is not an issue, because like Ys books, the objectives are not complex. Also, there is a guide on gamefaqs. GO for it man.

Did you not start with I and II? Oppenheimer says it in the intro. In fact, it's the first word he says and the first word spoken in th egame at all :) And all the characters that speak say it Eas (because ease has more of a hold on the S, more like a Z. Think Yeast, without the Y and the T :D ).

I believe so, may have been mention in five, but I'm not sure. I've only played I and II, and III for TGFX and VI for PS2. Everything else I had to read on Wiki. And I think some over eager fans are making assumptions about characters in the games not translated to English, cause I think they've said ther were Romun's in IV and V. But yes, VI was the first time I heard of any blatant European references.

[starsoldier1]

The Romun Empire is in Y's VI, right?

[ccpickre]

Makes me wonder if they intentionally used the Ys myth, because in a lot of the later games their are references to lands called Afroca and the Romun Empire. And a reference to Europe, but I can't remember how they spelled it.

Yeah, I like that Wikipedia page too :)
