PS Vita Reviews recently went back to take a look at the Ys PSP games. Having already been through Chronicles, they have just finished up Oath in Felghana. With that, here are their final thoughts on the game, from the perspective of the PS Vita and PlayStation TV:
"Ys III came back to the gaming world as Oath in Felghana on the PC as well as the PSP in style. On the downside, the game has some awkward control combinations and the presentation was degraded on the transition to the Vita. However, this is the version with the most content and offers a lot of fun and fast battles. Any Action RPG or Ys fan should definitely give it a try. "
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "The PSP was blessed with multiple entries and this support continued onto the Vita, with remakes, ports, and a brand new title releasing over the course of the handheld’s life. It made the franchise a perfect choice for this series of articles, because although the series' future definitely isn’t on Sony’s handhelds at this point, it still had some brilliant representation over the past 12 years.
So in this article I’ll be looking back at a history of the franchise on Sony’s handhelds, from its origins on the PSP right through the latest release on Vita, with an emphasis on the quality of the ports to the handhelds as well as any sales figures that are available, alongside a conclusion of how well the franchise has done on the platforms."
Oath at Fhelgana, Seven, Memories of Celceta and Lacrimosa of Dana are amazing games. I adore the Ys series, and Adol is one of my favorite JRPG characters ever.
From Vampires to Mavericks to Blinky, Inky, Pinky and Clyde. Sony's PSP had a vast library of titles targeted towards retro gamers. Here, I take a look at ten fantastic remakes of classic games. Keep in mind that in order to be applicable for this list, the original games must have been released during the 16-bit era or earlier. Anyway, let's start this look back at some of the best retro remakes ever produced for portable play.
I own and have played almost every game on this list. All outstanding choices!
TC:" The entries of the Ys series Ys I & II Chronicles, Ys: The Oath In Felghana and Ys Origins are now available for reduced prices on GOG."
I played one on SNES and one on Vita. Pretty good. Not great but good. I'd take a crack at another on Vita.
This one is pretty hard, the last boss will burn your thumbs off.
Will probably play. Celceta was a really generic experience, but at least I can say it was pretty well polished.
This game is absolutely amazing. Hard but amazing. Anyone interested in JRPGs play this game but be ready for a challenge.
