Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim is the sixth installment in the Action RPG franchise Ys. It was released in 2003 for Microsoft Windows, then ported to the PlayStation 2 in 2005 and PlayStation Portable in 2006 by Konami, with a worldwide release available on Steam in 2015.Series protagonist Adol Christin and traveling companion Dogi board a pirate vessel for travel. It gets attacked in the middle of a maelstrom by the Romun Empire due to being a pirate vessel that preyed upon Romun vessels, sending Adol overboard. Upon awakening, he finds himself alone in the Canaan Islands, surrounded by a giant, unceasing storm called the "Vortex of Canaan", preventing ships from entering or leaving the archipelago. With help from the native Rehdans, Adol must explore these islands in search of his missing friends and find a way to stop the Vortex to escape.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Ys VI is the first title in the series where sprite-based visuals are abundantly used for characters and monsters; large bosses are presented as full 3D models, insteadnote The PlayStation 2 version uses 3D models for all. The game expands on prior installments by taking a bird-eye-view perspective from Ys I: Ancient Ys Vanished - Omen, using different elemental swords for combat in Ys IV: Mask of the Sun and featuring jump mechanics like Ys V. |

Early Game Hell: Catastrophe on Story Mode can be this due to the ban on carrying healing items. While there are stat boosting seeds for sale in Rimorge, they're too expensive to farm until the endgame. |

comment |
Video Game 3D Leap: Konami replaced the sprites with 3D models in the PlayStation 2 version, which made the game fit the PlayStation 2 better because it lacks the memory needed to store a huge collection of sprites, but its enormous polygon-crunching capabilities allow it to handle 3D models like nobody's business and use less scarce memory at the same time because 3D models use less memory than their corresponding sprite sets. |

The Bermuda Triangle: The area where the Canaan Islands are located is viewed as such by the outsiders, due to a Perpetual Storm that surrounds it. Many ships are said to disappear in the region and, later, it is revealed that the vortex is a defensive mechanism of the ark to prevent anyone from finding it. |

comment |
Fantastic Racism: The Ruman army refers to the Rehda as "subhumans" and capture some of them as a gift to the emperor. Downplayed with the Rehda views on "Eresians". They have a distrust for outsiders because the humans from Port Rimorge deforest the island to build towns and hunt for treasures. The tension increased when the bridge was destroyed, leading to both races to blame the other for it. |

Backtracking |
| | Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim / Videogame / int_8d2f6f03 |
comment |
Backtracking: This game is hit hard by this. Before the Broken Bridge is fixed, you have to keep using the "Mythos Path" to traverse the islands; this is especially bad when you have return the Mirror Fragments to Olha. While the Alma Wings can warp you out of a dungeon, you still have to go backtrack a plain (or a forest) to return to the town. Thankfully, it got better in the Steam version: the "Alma Wings" now take you to any visited save point. |

Hard Mode Perks |
| | Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim / Videogame / int_8dc2b0f2 |
comment |
Hard Mode Perks: The Catastrophe modifier, despite being more difficult overall, does have some advantages over the standard item system. The auto-consume gimmick can be useful if the boss summons item dropping enemies, which wouldn't work on the standard item system unless Adol equipped the same kind of consumable that was dropped. Additionally, there are more Capla Waters available, which can be sold for thousands of gold. Finally, Croix will sell stat boosting seeds on Catastrophe, allowing the player to stat grind in the endgame. |

Hidden Elf Village: Played Straight with Rehdan Village in the beginning, where they don't want anything to do with Port Rimorge due to suspecting the residents of burning the bridge. This becomes downplayed after the bridge is fixed and both sides find it pragmatic to trade with each other despite their differing values. |

Harder Than Hard |

comment |
Harder Than Hard: In addition to Falcom's traditional Nightmare difficulty, the most recent PC version allows the player to add a Catastrophe modifier to their difficulty, preventing Adol from stocking on healing items or using them manually. Instead, healing items dropped by enemies are used immediately and all healing items from chests are replaced by Capla Waters, which are nerfed and unusable in boss fights. |
