"Right now is a landmark moment in video game history as I tell you about the PC release of Ys: The Oath in Felghana. The game was originally released on PC in Japan and then went on to receive a port to the PSP in 2010. Thanks to Xseed Games, this port was brought over from Japan to English speaking countries. The Oath in Felghana is a remake of Ys III: Wonderers from Ys, an old action role-playing game from 1989 that was on the PC-88. But the biggest thing about the PC version finally arriving on Steam is that Xseed Games can now release all the Falcom games that never made it out of Japan. This is huge for me and for anyone else who is into Japanese games as it opens the door for a wave of more RPGs and other niche genres. It’s time to celebrate then. Yahoo!"
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 hope more Ys games come to Steam!
Just from the first paragraph you know at least the reviewer knows his stuff. Ys Origin, how I can't wait any longer for you...
