| {{nihongo|'''Ys I & II'''|イースI・II|Iisu wan tsuu}} is a Japanese [[Action RPG|action role-playing game]] [[compilation]] consisting of enhanced remakes of the first two {{c|Ys}} games:
| |
| <big>
| |
| * [[Ys: Ancient Ys Vanished]]
| |
| * [[Ys II: Ancient Ys Vanished - The Final Chapter]]
| |
| </big>
| |
| It was released for the [[PC Engine CD-ROM²]] by [[Nihon Falcom]] and [[Hudson Soft]] in [[1989]]. It was released as '''Ys Book I & II''' for the [[TurboGrafx-CD]] in North America in [[1990]], and was a pack-in title for the [[TurboDuo]] in [[1992]]. It was released on the [[Virtual Console]] for the [[Wii]] in Japan on October 16, [[2007]], in North America on August 25, [[2008]], and in Europe and Australia on September 5, 2008.
| |
|
| |
|
| Ys I & II was one of the first video games to use CD-ROM, which was utilized to provide enhanced graphics, animated cut scenes, a Red Book CD audio soundtrack, and voice acting. The game's English localization was also one of the first to use voice dubbing. | | "''Legends say the ancient land of Ys was once prosperous and bountiful. Then, calamity occurred, and Ys faded into memory. It is said its secrets were sealed away in several books, and he who finds these tomes can open a way back to the fabled land of Ys.''" |
|
| |
|
| In both games the player controls a red-haired swordsman named Adol Christin. In the first game he must seek out the six Books of Ys. These books contain the history of the ancient, vanished land of Ys, and will give him the knowledge he needs to defeat the evil forces currently sweeping the land of Esteria. In Ys II, Adol is transported to the floating civilization of Ys, and begins a quest to unravel the secrets of the land, and finally rid it and Esteria of evil.
| | The Legacy of Ys is a compilation of [[Ancient Land of Ys]] and [[Ys II: Ancient Ys Vanished - The Final Chapter]]. The graphics, music, gameplay, and story were all updated for this release. This game is a complete remake, instead of a port akin to what can be found on the [[Wii Virtual Console]]. |
