The Ys games aren’t quite as disconnected from one another as the Final Fantasy series, since they re-use characters, world building aspects, and other elements, but they’re pretty much standalone affairs so knowledge of prior games definitely isn’t necessary to understand them.

The history of the Ys series is complex and one that I don’t fully understand, but basically Falcom released two versions of Ys IV on different platforms, both outsourced to different developers, and Celceta, which was originally a Vita game, represents them making an “official” version that draws on both games but also features new plot and characters and, of course, modernized gameplay and graphics. Ys: Memories of Celceta is a remix of two games that were released a long time ago as Ys IV. Some Vita games scale up nicely and some.don't.

Also, this is technically a late PS4 game and.hoo boy. Is this intended to be a meta commentary on the opening hours of the game? Almost certainly not. I was mildly disappointed by the first few hours of the game but ended up really liking it by the time it wrapped up. Memories of Celceta is not as good a game as Ys VIII in almost any way, but it’s still a fun and addictive experience that actually gets better as it goes. Having played through the game to the credits, at a little less than $1 per hour I got my money’s worth. The release of Memories of Celceta on PS4 in the US seemed like a perfect opportunity, but since I already owned but had not played the Vita version (them PSN sales) I decided to wait for a price drop to double dip.Ĭut to nine months later and PSN finally decides to chop $10 off the admittedly already budget price of the port, and even though I would have preferred a larger discount I gave up and bought it for $20. I knew Ys IX was coming over eventually but I also wanted to go back and play some of the earlier games I’d missed in the long running series. That bump combat stuff is long gone and modern Ys is much more of a traditional action RPG, though with a loose and arcadey style that sacrifices precise gameplay for speed and ease of play.

I’ve been aware of Ys as long as it has existed but I never played any of them before VIII, mostly because the early games’ bump combat concept did not seem appealing. I played Ys VIII last year and absolutely loved it, so I’ve been jonesing for another game in the series ever since then. I was excited when I saw that Ys: Memories of Celceta was getting a port from Vita to the PS4.
