So does this mean Ys I & II are coming to the PS2? About fricken time! This game was incomprhensibly awesome! My cousin had this game for the Turbo Duo and it absolutely rocked. This was one of the classic old school RPGs.
Does anyone know the history behind the Ys games? Like, why they weren't widely released, even though they were awesome. And why they never made more.
Its time to save up and buy a PS2 for sure.

Because nobody brought them over here, or picked up the licenses, as far as I know. I think the difficulty is that the license is likely pricey due to Falcom and Ys' huge recognition in japan. Couple this with the near-invisible western recognition (other than cultish fans of course), and you've got an unlikely purchase for most translation/publishing houses in the west.
Falcom's games have been released on every major console system since the SMS (excluding N64 and GameCube), so I don't think it's their fault...perhaps westerners just don't care much for their games???

Mmm... port of Ys Eternal.
Still, doesn't mean a lot to me if I'm not going to be able to play it.
I found Kagami's sword in a junk yard. I also provide nothing useful to the gaming community. "Dink-a-dink-a-dink-a-do."
