Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Ys (typically pronounced "ees,"note Basically like "geese" without the G; this pronunciation is the one used by the series' most common localization publisher, XSEED Games though "yees" was used instead in the English localization of Ys: The Ark of Napishtim) is a Action RPG video game franchise developed by Falcom and published by its developer in Japan and currently published by XSEED Games in North America and Europe, with a large number of companies having localized licensed ports in the past (such as the TurboGrafx-CD versions) that has spanned over thirty years and twenty consoles. Nearly all titles chronicle the adventures of Adol Christin, a wandering swordsman with fiery red hair who always seems to be in the right place at the wrong time as far as world-threatening disasters are concerned. The eponymous "Ys" is a mythical island floating in the sky, which is visited in some games and merely referenced in others.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The games have a few recurring characters (leaving aside Adol, who is the primary playable character in every game except for the Prequels Ys Origin and Ys Strategy) and take place in the same world with a consistent Continuity, but otherwise keep things fresh by introducing a brand new cast of characters, location, and scenario for every major release, not unlike fellow traveling swordsman-starring series The Legend of Zelda. Most are generally played with an isometric top-down perspective - the earliest games require Adol to "ram" into enemies in just the right spot to attack and defeat them, while later installments use a traditional Hack and Slash style of game-play (beginning with Ys V). The franchise has gotten Video Game Remakes and "re-imaginings of installments in order to fit them better into the series' ever-expanding mythology (simulataneously, Compilation Rereleases like Ys I & II Complete and Ys Eternal, remakes of Ys I and Ys II, still feature ramming combat, which would be carried over to the PC and Sony PlayStation Portable version Ys I & II Chronicles).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Ys is also famous for its power-rock soundtracks composed by various members of Falcom's "JDK Sound Team", most famously by Yuzo Koshiro (I-II) and Mieko Ishikawa (II-III) and performed by Ryo Yonemitsu (music for the TurboGrafx-16 versions and the "Perfect Collections") and, more recently, Yukihiro Jindo (arrangements of Ys: The Oath in Felghana and Ys I & II Chronicles). In addition to standalone soundtracks, the TurboGrafx-CD games have much of their in-game soundtracks encoded in the same standardized "Red Book" format as a typical audio compact disc, allowing the game discs themselves to double as soundtrack CDs when placed into a CD player or other optical media player. Meanwhile, the Windows version of some Ys games store their audio files in the Ogg Vorbis format (an open format, thus probably supported by almost any media player) and can be found and played by digging through the game's files and getting the ".ogg" files from the music folder. A few Ys re-releases also do special things with their soundtracks, specifically their soundtrack historynote Ys I & II Chronicles for the PlayStation Portable and the port of Ys: The Oath in Felghana to the same system have the option for players to choose between multiple versions of the games' soundtracks within the games themselves - Chronicles contains the original PC-88 soundtracks from the first two games as well as the newer Complete/Eternal versions, both in addition to the the JDK-performed remixes (the other two options are synthesized) new to Chronicles, while The Oath in Felghana contains the soundtracks from the PC-88 and Sharp X68000 versions of the original Ys III: Wanderers from Ys in addition to the soundtrack originally composed for The Oath in Felghana itself.For the longest time, the franchise suffered from extensive No Export for You syndrome after the series' lackluster initial release push in the early 1990s, the primary reason why Ys was practically unheard of outside of Japan for so long. Beginning with the release of Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim on the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable, Ys: Book I & II on the Wii Virtual Console, and Legacy of Ys: Books I & II for the Nintendo DS, the games started to reach a much wider audience, with XSEED Games having announced a partnership with Falcom in since 2010 that includes the localization of Ys SEVEN, Ys: The Oath in Felghana, and Ys I & II Chronicles for the PlayStation Portable in the North American market, in that order. By March 2012, XSEED and Falcom followed this up with a series of releases on the Steam service of Valve Software, starting with the original Windows version of The Oath in Felghana and the Japan-only Ys Origin, continued by a further-updated PC version of Ys I & II Chronicles.note Ironically giving English-speakers the definitive version of that compilation. Finally, both companies capped it off with the release of Ys: Memories of Celceta, Falcom's definitive version of the Ys IV duology on the PlayStation Vita, released in English in November 2013. XSEED did not take the reins on 2017's Ys VIII localization because NIS America, which published the PlayStation Portable version of Ys: Memories of Celceta in the European region, outbid XSEED Games for the worldwide localization, publishing, and porting rights.Thanks to all this, the series' No Export for You tendencies are well and truly over, as Ys is now one of XSEED's most consistent sellers and the company has openly stated they'd love to work on any future releases. Between the PlayStation and Steam market, virtually every major Ys installment is available in English, both at retail and digital download. Although Ys V: Lost Kefin, Kingdom of Sand and Ys vs. Sora no Kiseki remain the only ones untouched, even that merely extends to official localization - a fully playable Fan Translation patch is available courtesy of Aeon Genesis for Ys V. The Ys series consists of:

 Ys (Video Game) / int_12a22bd8
comment
Katanas Are Just Better: Notably averted. Adol's swords based on real-world weapons have taken inspiration from Europe, Africa, India, and Persia, but never Japan. Over 20 years after the series's debut, Scias in SEVEN is the first character in the series to have something recognizable as a katana. The TurboGrafx-16 version of Ys I called the Talwarl the Katana.

Regional Bonus: When the Windows version of The Oath in Felghana was released internationally, it gained an achievement system and has the Inferno difficulty unlockable without a patch. Since it's distributed through Steam, updates would also be easier and the game is downloaded after it's paid for instead of needing a disc.

comment
Earn Your Bad Ending: VIII's Bad Ending can only be feasibly attained if you actively go out of you way to be a dick to everyone by treating them poorly, refusing their side quests, refusing to defend the village during monster attacks etc, and given how the rewards for doing all of this range from handy to downright crucial, its almost impossible to get the Bad Ending unless you're actively hunting for it.

Heroic Mime: Adol. Averted in Wanderers and Mask of the Sun. Subverted in The Ark of Napishtim, Complete/Chronicles, Oath, and SEVEN, where his words are described from a third-person point of view (i.e. "Adol tells so-and-so about so-and-so") Also subverted once in II, in which he tries to tell the refugees that he Was Once a Man, as well as the opening cinematic when he speaks to Lilia (though she's voiced; his responses are subtitled text). And once in I, when he meets Feena for the first time.

Falcom's own official romanization for the Fact family is Fukt. Feel free to start laughing any time. Falcom might have turned this into a hint on this family's status as a Big, Screwed-Up Family in Ys: Origin because Cain Fact turned his entire family into demons and pitting his sons against each other.

"Well Done, Son!" Guy: Hugo Fact in Origin is partially motivated by the high expectations that his father set for him. Downplayed with Toal Fact, who broke away from the family teachings, but tells his father that he wishes they can someday reconcile their differences. Unfortunately for Hugo and Toal, their father is a self-serving Jerkass who sees them more as tools than family, meaning they'll never gain his respect.

 Ys (Video Game) / int_208c4494
comment
With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: After the demonic essence Dalles gave to Hugo Fact is activated, he literally goes mad with power. The latter's speech also becomes messed up and is indicated in the English translation with unusual capitalization. Fortunately, it goes away after Epona snaps him out of it. Subverted with Toal, who despite having the demonic essence manages to hold onto his sanity through sheer willpower.

Forced Level-Grinding: In earlier games, this is pretty much required if you want to be able to hurt a boss even slightly. Fortunately, reaching the level caps in earlier games is easier than in later ones (in the more recent remakes of the first one, the level cap is just 10, though the TurboGrafx-CD version goes higher than this).

comment
Walking the Earth: Ys in general is kind of surprising about this. You'll do a lot of wandering around the various locales of the games, sure, but the actual distances tend to be moderately realistic and you never wander the whole planet in any game (because such journeys would take months). You never go from Altago to Romun and then take a brief jaunt to Kefin, for example; you're always limited to a geographical area that can realistically be traversed on foot. In fact, most of the games start with Adol on a ship or other conveyance after a long voyage to his new destination. (Dogi likes to point out how this rarely ends well for either of them.)

Easter Egg: Ys I and II Eternal were loaded with these, ranging from a developer's room to fun but pointless tricks with various items to a cutscene that lets you check out Feena's measurements (If you must know, 158-84-56-85, which translates to 5'2", B33" W22" H33.5"). Most of these were removed from the DS games that were combined and then released overseas as Legacy of Ys. They were restored for Falcom's own handheld version, Ys I-II Chronicles for the PSP. In Ys: Memories of Celceta, Misshy from the Trails series appears in various places. (This could possibly also qualify as a Shout-Out.)

Also the "Juuuuust Right" achievement from Ys II which you get for climbing into the (empty) beds of three different girls (Lilia, Maria and Zalem the weapon store owner), leading to Adol describing the smell and feeling, with a subtle insinuation that he's enjoying himself a bit while he's there.

Informed Equipment: Played entirely straight in I-V where your appearance does not change based on equipment. Partially averted in VI where your weapon changes (and completely averted in the PS2 port where everything changes). Oath has your appearance change whenever you have a full set of matching equipment and only a full set. Appearance in SEVEN only changes based on weapon and shield. In ''Origin, Yunica's model subverts it by changing slightly when she changes between using her axe and her sword, while Toal's model plays it straight and does not change when he regains his sword before the final battle).

Limit Break: An EXTRA attack. In Ys Seven, this meter was introduced and was explained as a product of the dragon energy that weapons from Altago possess. This meter is recycled in Ys: Memories of Celceta, but that introduces a Plot Hole due to not explaining how any of the party learned how to perform these moves, and because Adol does not use any similar moves in later games except for Ys Seven and Lacrimosa of Dana.

Awesome, but Impractical
 Ys (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae
comment
Awesome, but Impractical: The life drop in the TurboGrafx-CD version of Ys II. It allows you to resurrect yourself with full life and magic if you get killed while this is equipped. On the early bosses when you could really use this because they could One-Hit Kill or seriously hurt Adol, it is too expensive at 60,000 gold. When you can finally afford it, you have levelled up enough that most bosses at this stage other than Darm are no threat if you are a good player. Against Darm, you must have the Goddess's Ring equipped or you will get quickly killed because his attacks are too fast to dodge without the ring, so you cannot have the life drop equipped. If you have the life drop equipped in this battle, you will get killed twice very quickly. The Steam version allows you to equip one item that generates a constant effect while equipped and one consumable, so both the Godess's Ring and the elixir (as it is known in this version instead of the life drop) can be equipped.

World Building: Quite a bit. While it's not quite the most internally consistent world around, the large distances and realistic travel the protagonist does gives what might otherwise be isolated areas some realism. It makes sense that references to many of Adol's adventures wouldn't be understood or known about in places that are thousands of miles apart, just because it's the same world doesn't mean traveling is any easier in our own. More generally, subtle references and a similar underlying structure to the various magic systems and the occasional reoccurring character help tie things down.

100% Heroism Rating: In Ys II Eternal/Complete, Adol could give gifts to every villager he meets.

In Ys: Memories of Celceta, Adol can give gifts to animals and perform quests for villagers. You get achievements for making all animals like Adol and finishing all quests for villagers.

Artifact of Doom
 Ys (Video Game) / int_3b5fcbb7
comment
Artifact of Doom: The Black Pearl, which was really the Sealed Evil in a Can for Darm, formerly Cain Fact. The four statues that house the power of Galbalan in Oath count as well. The philosopher's stone in Ys V also is said to bring destruction to lands around it. Interestingly, the Black Pearl, despite its association and color, was originally benevolent. It was only after the unchecked usage of its power gave birth to demons that it became the full fledged example of this trope.

Recurring Riff
 Ys (Video Game) / int_3bbf3fef
comment
Recurring Riff: Recurring (non-leitmotif) themes include the treasure box and game over jingles, "Termination" (reused in the recap of the Darm battle during the intro of The Dawn of Ys), "Beat of the Terror" (remixed as Overwater Drive in VI), "Tower of the Shadow of Death" (returns in Dawn and Origin), "Battle Ground" (redone in Over Drive, Sanctuary, and Armored Bane), "The Dawn of Ys" (remixed as "Temple of the Sun" later in the game), and "Memories of Celceta" (sort of the main theme of Ys IV). "Ernst", in addition to using the beat of "Final Battle", is also suspiciously similar to the tune of "Moon over the Castle", the theme of the Japanese versions of the Gran Turismo series. The Boss Battle themes "Holders of Power", "Protectors", and "Death Blitz" from the first three games use a common riff during their "refrain" sections. "Lava Field", "Battle #58", and "The Heat in the Blaze" (main guitar riff).

A Taste of Power: In The Dawn of Ys, Adol starts with the best equipment from the (chronologically) previous game. With it he can one-hit kill everything and nothing can really hurt him. Naturally, he loses it very quickly and doesn't get it back until much later. In Lacrimosa of Dana, Adol still has his Isis Blade from the previous game, but only uses it during the first boss battle, whereupon it gets lost at sea. Hugo in Origin, but that turns out very badly until he gets some unlikely help.

Golden Ending
 Ys (Video Game) / int_47e4f5f5
comment
Golden Ending: XSEED Games refers to Toal's ending in Origin as the true ending. It's easy to see why, because at the end Toal witnesses his father Cain fusing with the Black Pearl and becoming the Demonic Darm, whose body is destroyed and reduced to the the Black Pearl, with Cain still in it. The Goddesses seal the pearl and Darm away. In addition, at the very end it says "To be continued in ''Ys: Ancient Ys Vanished: Omen," the first game. Finally, Toal leaves behind the Silver Sword by the Roda Tree which you see sticking out of the ground in the very end of his ending...the same one Adol finds in Ys Book 1, thus explaining the origin of the sword. Toal Fact is basically one of the more important characters in the Ys universe overall, what with his ties to the books-pretty important themselves one can say-and the fact without his sword Adol would have gotten nowhere.

Getting Crap Past the Radar
 Ys (Video Game) / int_4b86a724
comment
Getting Crap Past the Radar: The Steam versions of Ys I & II contain a number of achievements that imply that Adol is, not to put too fine a point on it, a colossal pervert, and not in a very endearing way. "Hey Baby, What's Your Width?" (for "measuring" Feena by cramming her into a tight dead end and pressing up against her) and "I Can't See You, But I Can Feel You" (the same thing, but wearing the Mask of Eyes, implying you're looking through her clothes) from I are bad enough with their icons leeringly depicting Adol molesting a naked Feena, but II takes the cake with the achievement for "measuring" Tarf, a preteen boy, the same way. The achievement is called "Police Are On Their Way" and depicts Tarf from behind, apparently bending over with a somewhat distraught expression on his face, with a big black censor bar across him labelled "NO, I REFUSE TO DRAW THIS". It comes up again in The Oath in Felghana, this time called "Legacy Pervert" for "measuring" Elena.

You Are Too Late: No matter how fast you climb the bell tower, it is impossible to reach the top of the bell tower before Dalles is ready to complete the sacrificial ritual. Maria still lives, but not due to any action on your part. In The Oath in Felghana, after handing over the statues to Chester, Adol sets off to Valestein Castle to recollect them. He does manage to find them, but not before Chester uses their powers to turn nearly everyone in the castle to mindless monsters, and those powers are transferred completely to Galbalan.

Long Song, Short Scene
 Ys (Video Game) / int_4cefd8a6
comment
Long Song, Short Scene: Ys III can get really weird/bad about this: The song "The Boy Who Had Wings" only played at the entrances of dungeons (these take 30 seconds to cross, typically, with the song being about two minutes long), "Prelude to Adventure" played on the world map (which can often be dealt with in under ten seconds, despite the song being about a minute per loop!), and "Theme of Chester" only plays in the last corridor of the Ilburns Ruins, and only in certain versions. On that note, the biggest standout is perhaps "Chop!!", which plays in a brief confrontation with Chester... exclusively in the X68000 version of the game, meaning most versions lack the song entirely! The status of most of these is inverted (almost certainly purposefully) in the Oath in Felghana, which gives "The Boy Who Had Wings" much more respect by making it the main overworld theme, while "Prelude to Adventure" can only be heard by stepping outside of town before it's time to set out for the first dungeon (which is after Adol introduces himself to the villagers), after which "The Boy Who Had Wings" plays there instead, and "Theme of Chester" is actually used as Chester's leitmotif, even getting a second version for later in the game. "Chop!!", meanwhile, was heavily remixed and became the theme of the infamously difficult second boss fight with Chester. Origin has a jazzy remix of the song "Tension", whose original version played on the upper floors of Darm Tower in the first game. As opposed to how its original appearance saw it used instead of "Tower of the Shadow of Death" further up the tower (thus giving it plenty of usage), Origin has its version used for a single boss fight.

Single Line of Descent: The ending of Ys II implies that the six people (who are not Lilia and the Goddesses) who speak with Adol after Darm's defeat are the only people with the bloodline of the six Priests left after 700 years (which would also imply that Jevah Tovah died shortly after Adol entered Darm Tower). Possibly justified by the fact that the demons were going out of their way to eliminate as many of the priests' descendants that they could find.

Money for Nothing: Ys I has this in two forms. First, most items that you can buy can also be found for free. The only things the game requires you to purchase are one armor and one shield of any kind so Sara will talk to you and give you the Coupon of Plot Advancement. Also, once you enter Darm Tower, you will still receive money for killing enemies even though there is absolutely nothing you can do with it.

Fantastic Racism
 Ys (Video Game) / int_57b80b45
comment
Fantastic Racism: In Ys II Chronicles, most people are scared of Adol when he is transformed into a roo because roos are intelligent nonhuman beings. A few older people recognize roos as not demons and treat him nicely when he is a roo. This trope is inverted by demons. They (with one notable exception, Keith Fact) do not hesitate to kill all humans, but most demons except for Dalles mistake Adol in roo form for a demon, talk to him, and will not attack him. The Romun Empire considers sentient nonhumans like the Redhans to be slave races.

Fantasy Counterpart Culture
 Ys (Video Game) / int_57d43e40
comment
Fantasy Counterpart Culture: The franchise takes place in a semi-medieval fantasy counterpart world (the fact that Ys VIII shows two moons in the sky means that it isn't a perfect parallel, however). Most of the games take place in locations based on the continent of Eresia (Europe) and Afroca (Africa), while the Atlas Ocean (Atlantic Ocean) seperates Eresia from the continent of Atlas (Atlantis). Presumably, the equivalent of Asia exists to the east of Eresia, but has yet to be explored. Meanwhile, the "Vortex of Canaan" in Ys VI is a reference to The Bermuda Triangle, while the "Romun Empire" is an obvious stand-in for The Roman Empire. Furthermore, regions such as Garman, Greek and Creet are based on similar, geographical areas of Germany, Greece and Crete. Specific locales, however, are estimated as the following. Ys I - Esteria (An island off the southwestern coast of Brittany, France) Ys III - Felghana (Northern Germany, around Rostock) Ys IV - Celceta (Celtiberi Region in the Hispanic peninsula of Spain) Ys V - Xandria (Alexandria, Egypt) Ys VI - Canaan Islands (The Caribbean Islands) Ys Seven - Kingdom of Altago (Ancient Carthage in Northeastern Tunisia) Ys VIII - Isle of Seiren in the Gaete Sea (Saronic Islands in the Aegian Sea of Greece)

Enemy Mine: The Redhan Village and Port Rimorge are ready to go to war in Ys VI because the residents of Port Rimorge keep destroying ancient ruins that the Redhan Village do not want destroyed for building materials. However, they are united when a Romun Empire fleet attacks the islands and enslaves several Redhans. Baslam, the leader of Port Rimorge, hates the Romun Empire because it is trying to conquer his home country, Altago, and therefore helps the Redhans in order to strike at his homeland's enemy. Adol helps in this effort.

Badass Normal: Adol again. There's nothing obviously supernatural about him, he's just a dude who decided to wander a bit, and yet he pretty much eats gods for breakfast as a living. And even though he can use magic in some games, it's always for plot-related reasons (such as the bracelets in The Oath in Felghana) and not innate ability (as we said, there's nothing obviously supernatural about him), and he loses it after the journey's over. His best friend, Dogi, is pretty much a Badass Normal as well. In Origin, Yunica Tovah also has no innate magical abilities and requires her axe to fight until, like Adol, she gains magical artifacts that make up for it.

In the same release, the fortuneteller Sarah was strongly implied to have died as the antagonists discovered she knew too much about their plans, so she writes a letter to tell Adol the details before she's found. In the localization, she was said to be kidnapped, leading to a What Happened to the Mouse? situation as she's still never accounted for in any enemy strongholds.

In some cases, a certain location will be rendered inaccessable after the completion of a quest objective, causing any missed objects there to be lost forever.

Talk to Everyone
 Ys (Video Game) / int_66a7aff7
comment
There are two puzzles in Ys I that are not solvable unless you Talk to Everyone, consult a walkthrough, or remember the solution from another game with the same puzzle. One puzzle is how to get the silver sword. You need to find a roda seed and the silver harmonica in Rastin Mine. You would not know that you should eat the roda seed unless you talk to someone who states that it is a rare delicacy that everyone should try if they find one. Eating one grants you the ability to communicate with the roda trees. You also have to return the silver harmonica to Reah. She then plays a song that wakes the roda trees up. Otherwise, the trees will just mumble nonsense in their sleep if you approach them after eating the roda seed. Finally, you have to talk to the roda trees to get the silver sword. Another puzzle is how to pass the Devil's Corridor. You would not know how to solve this puzzle unless you talked to Raba twice when he is trapped in the cell adjacent to the Devil's Corridor, remember the solution from Hugo Fact's route in Ys: Origin, or consulted a walkthrough.

 Ys (Video Game) / int_6a3c49f
comment
Direct Line to the Author: According to Ys Eternal's loading screen and the opening movie of Ys II Eternal, the games are actually 'novels' translated from Adol's own journals. This serves as a nice handwave for things like the blatant differences between Mask of the Sun and Dawn of Ys. This conceit was carried forward into Oath, though oddly enough not into Ys SEVEN. Memories of Celceta picks it up again in the game's intro and in the companion "journal" that comes in the limited edition.

Private Military Contractors: Geis is a mercenary. Adol also tries his hand at being a mercenary in Ys V. Dorman, his boss in this game, hires him to stop an environmental disaster, but he is betrayed by Dorman and is forced to kill him when he decides to kill Adol. Dorman is only interested in Kefin's alchemy to conquer the world. Also, the party can accept quests which are mercenary jobs in Ys Seven and Memories of Celceta. Berhardt is a retired mercenary in The Oath in Felghana.

Guide Dang It!
 Ys (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8
comment
Guide Dang It!: Many examples: To give one, the Gold Tabulas in The Ark of Napishtim (and, by extension, the Winged God Emblem) is definitely one of these. Various third-party titles like Taito's port of IV also have loads of these. The Korean Ys II Special is an entire game of Guide Dang It moments. Getting the Black Tabulas is worse; you have to use a certain item that allows you to see invisible platforms, with no hint that it does so, and you don't obtain it until after completing the dungeon that contains said tabulas. Both puzzles involving the Evil Bell, to some degree. The puzzle to regain your form after your Involuntary Transformation by Dalles is more of a Moon Logic Puzzle in the TurboGrafx-CD version, but you get almost no hints about it in Eternal. Goban tells you that the Mask of Eyes allows you to see hidden passages. In the TurboGrafx-CD version, there are the hints of "I saw that blue statue's eyes glow" and the outline of a doorway, but in other versions, there's nothing remotely hinting at the hidden doorway in the shrine basement. The Steam, PSP, iOS, and Android versions will draw slight defects in the lighting of the illusionary walls in the mountain shrine, but those defects are so subtle that they could be easily overlooked and could probably be completely lost if the display in use is of poor quality like a monitor that uses a 6 bit per color channel panel. The illusory wall in Darm Tower is has no visual defects, but Dogi will give Adol a clue to look for Raba in the hallway next to where he is hiding when he breaks Adol out of the dungeon cell. The smartphone versions of Ys I shows you a couple of pictures that vaguely suggest that you must run into enemies' sides or back to land clean hits. There is nothing to let you know that you can also get clean hits by running into the sides of their fronts. The smartphone version of Ys II is even worse by not providing any tutorial whatsoever on how to physically attack enemies, so someone who did not buy Ys I would be clueless on how to attack enemies. There are two puzzles in Ys I that are not solvable unless you Talk to Everyone, consult a walkthrough, or remember the solution from another game with the same puzzle. One puzzle is how to get the silver sword. You need to find a roda seed and the silver harmonica in Rastin Mine. You would not know that you should eat the roda seed unless you talk to someone who states that it is a rare delicacy that everyone should try if they find one. Eating one grants you the ability to communicate with the roda trees. You also have to return the silver harmonica to Reah. She then plays a song that wakes the roda trees up. Otherwise, the trees will just mumble nonsense in their sleep if you approach them after eating the roda seed. Finally, you have to talk to the roda trees to get the silver sword. Another puzzle is how to pass the Devil's Corridor. You would not know how to solve this puzzle unless you talked to Raba twice when he is trapped in the cell adjacent to the Devil's Corridor, remember the solution from Hugo Fact's route in Ys: Origin, or consulted a walkthrough. The fetch quests where Adol has to find lost pikkards have no clues on where they are located. Many achievements in the Steam version: Hey Baby, What's Your Width?, I Can't See You, But I Can Feel You, and Police Are On Their Way: During both games' Escort Mission, there is a single narrow passage which you must push your escorted character into. This will trigger some dialogue and give you the achievement (I Can't See You also requires you to be wearing the Mask Of Eyes while doing so). No Reservations: In Ys II, there are four NPCs who will give you food if you give them enough gifts. Some are somewhat hinted at because they raise meat animals, but one of them is a blacksmith and is never hinted to give you anything. Bill the Duck: You must give gifts to an NPC (once again, there are absolutely no hints as to which NPC this is) until he tells you that sometimes the ducks eat gold coins. Now you can examine the ducks outside and one of them will give you gold and the achievement. Where's Aldow: You must use the Alter spell and return to the first dungeon, in the area where you found the Evil Bell. One monster will give you the achievement if you talk to him.

Video Game Remake: The first two games have been remade multiple times. The third game was re-imagined as a top-down game as Ys: The Oath in Felghana, which was ported to the PlayStation Portable and finally got an official translation on that system after the PC version wasn't released internationally (though that version was later released in English itself). The PlayStation Portable port of Ys I & II Eternal, Ys I & II Chronicles, were localized in 2011.

Everything Fades: Even main characters' bodies fade or blink out of existence upon death. A notable example is Ernst in The Ark of Napishtim, where his body seems to vaporize or sublimate. Averted when Adol kills Romun soldiers in The Ark of Napishtim. Adol can rack up a high body count while rescuing enslaved Redhans from a Romun fleet that is enslaving them on the basis that they are "subhumans" instead of humans, and the bodies stay in the scene until Adol leaves it.

Get on the Boat
 Ys (Video Game) / int_72586221
comment
Get on the Boat: Odd usage — some of Adol's adventures start with him getting on a boat... but gameplay doesn't start until the boat sinks (or Adol falls off it for some reason), leaving him stranded at the site of his current adventure. Adol has rarely set foot on a boat that has not later sunk. This trope is actually played straight with no sinking in Ys Seven.

Unwitting Pawn: In Ys III/Oath, Adol gathers all statues containing the essence of Galbalan. Of course, this ineviably leads to Adol's handing those statues over to villains, who then use them to unseal Galbalan. In Ys V, the crystals that Adol gathers throughout the game are pivotal to maintaining the seal on Kefin. He ends up giving them all to Dorman and Rieje due to Niena's being held hostage. Also, Eldeel in The Dawn of Ys.

Police Brutality: Adol becomes victim to this in Ys IV: The Dawn of Ys at the hands of the Romun Empire because he spotted some of its soldiers arresting Karna despite the fact that he did not intervene in the arrest (probably not knowing whether she was being fairly arrested or not), and the soldiers decided to arrest him just for spotting Karna's arrest. He quickly becomes a Determinator who wants to wipe out this empire's invasions of Celceta and Esteria.

Hair Colors: Every color has representation somewhere in the franchise.

Point of No Return
 Ys (Video Game) / int_7ae4d273
comment
Point of No Return: The Darm Tower in I (with another one after defeating Dark Fact in the TurboGrafx-16 version that ends up with Adol in Ys and no way to get back to Darm Tower, as that game merges I and II into one game), Kefin and The Very Definitely Final Dungeon in V (at least you can't save after the second one), and the Ark in The Ark of Napishtim. At least the first and last examples warn you beforehand (and, in I, it's impossible to be underleveled). Averted in Mask of the Sun where you can still use the Wing to warp out of the Golden Temple. In some cases, a certain location will be rendered inaccessable after the completion of a quest objective, causing any missed objects there to be lost forever. For example, the Flame Cave in Mask Of The Sun (destroyed by the raising of the ancient city) and the town of Felt in V (buried by a sandstorm after the return of Kefin).

Magitek: It's heavily implied that the Eldeen civilization was based on this. It's never outright stated, but dungeons strongly associated with them tend to look suspiciously high-tech, sometimes going so far as to include robotic enemies. The final boss of Ark of Napishtim is basically a magical weather-control supercomputer. The Eternian civilization likewise utilized technology beyond that which exists in Adol's era, explained as running on Essence.

Cap: With the exception of the TurboGrafx-CD version, which has a 62-level cap in both Ys I and II with the endgame level and experience of I carrying over to II, Ys I typically has a 10-level cap which you'll reach long before the final dungeon. That the enemies keep getting stronger while Adol doesn't aside from some new equipment is the main source of difficulty in the game's second half. Ys II has a much more reasonable 52-level cap.

Given the various parallelisms with the real world in the Ys setting and a few sparse hints in Oath, the best guess most people have is that Felghana is meant to be the equivalent of Flanders or Switzerland (the former being properly placed near the sea and close to the real-life equivalent of Esteria, making the trip not too distant; the latter's Alps seems to have served as inspiration for the Elderm Mountains), and one point for Switzerland is the fact that it has a town named Rougemont, which Redmont is basically an Anglicized version of. Although it's ultimately still conjecture and nobody is exactly sure where one of the best-selling stories in the franchise actually takes place. Finally averted with the release of Memories of Celceta, which puts Felghana in Northern Germany, around Rostock◊.

Bad Powers, Good People: Several good characters use magic which is fueled by the Black Pearl which is made of black emelas, which generates demons when it is used by anyone not made up of white emelas. This variety of magic is therefore Black Magic.

The Chosen One
 Ys (Video Game) / int_89631688
comment
The Chosen One: Adol is a rare combination of this and The Unchosen One. In most cases, The Chosen One becomes badass because they were chosen. Adol, by contrast, didn't even Jump At The Call — he set out looking for calls. In the OVA of Ys I, it turns out he has the same name as the prophesized hero, but this is Lampshaded when the seer's superior reminds her that Adol Christin is a common name and the last one that came to town was a little girl. It turns out that the prophecy is in fact talking about him, but instead of him becoming a hero because he was chosen by the prophecy, it just correctly predicted that he'd show up and save the place. Adol's reputation begins preceeding him as early as the first game. It's generally because of who he is and what he's done that he's given any powers or ancient artifacts that he doesn't get himself — if you need a hero to save your land, it's only sensible to choose someone with job experience. In the sixth game, the daughter of Alma running the trials is not impressed with this random man who just showed up out of nowhere, but after he begins passing them, she asks around about who this 'Adol Christin' guy thinks he is. She grows much more impressed and respectful after that.

Spell My Name with an S
 Ys (Video Game) / int_89a17726
comment
Spell My Name with an "S": Between fan translations, multiple official translations, and Falcom's own official English names, there are few characters or places that don't fit this trope. An example would be the name of the crater in Esteria where Ys used to be before it rose into the sky. In Atlus's translation, it has the vaguely French-sounding name Vageux-Vardette, but XSEED Games's translation gives it the more unusual-sounding name Bagyu Ba'dead. Also see "Blind Idiot" Translation above. The English TG-16 version, on the other hand, refers to the crater as "Clifton's Cliff". Ys III and Oath can be particularly bad about this, since each English version was produced independently of any other, with the Wanderers ones all being done simultaneously. The TG-16 version goes so far as to completely alter most of the place names and some of the characters. More generally, these differences are just spelling-related (like Dularn/Dulan/Duran, Valestein/Ballecetine, or Elena/Ellena).

Flesh-Eating Zombie: Ys I has some dead soldiers that have been turned into zombies guarding the shrine. Ys II has a few zombies in the Ruins of Moondoria. They came about due to being possessed by demonic spirits. Ys: The Oath in Felghana has most of the residents including the soldiers of Valestein Castle turned into zombies due to a spell that Chester used in the castle to exact his revenge on Count McGuire. They all were caused by supernatural means.

 Ys (Video Game) / int_8b442f50
comment
Did Not Get the Girl: Normally, this is inverted, as in most games the female lead doesn't get the guy (as Adol leaves on another adventure). However, it is played straight in Origin; in Hugo's route, he fails to get Epona, and in Toal's route, he fails to get Reah. In both cases, it's because the girl isn't available for romance by the end of the game. This also arguably applies with Adol and Feena in Ys II.

"Blind Idiot" Translation: There are many instances. Falcom's own official romanization for the Fact family is Fukt. Feel free to start laughing any time. Falcom might have turned this into a hint on this family's status as a Big, Screwed-Up Family in Ys: Origin because Cain Fact turned his entire family into demons and pitting his sons against each other. The DS version of Ys I & II translates the name of the Shrine of Solomon (that being the translation used in XSEED Games's translation of the PSP version, previously worded as Solomon Shrine in the TurboGrafx-CD version) as Palace of Salmon. One implies wisdom. The other implies fish. The weird thing is that Atlus USA did the DS version's translation and didn't do terribly bad with the rest of the game, but Atlus and XSEED Games both try to go for natural-sounding English text in their translations (and not just for Ys), with XSEED being the one to do so with its translation. A similar translation shows up with DotEmu's iOS and Android ports of Ys Chronicles II when the title card for the Shrine of Solomon shows because these versions use the Japanese title cards which shows the Japanese on top and Falcom's own English translation of the place name below the Japanese with the English title being the Shrine of Salmon. This is despite the fact that DotEmu used XSEED Games's localization for the English version's other text in Ys Chronicles II. The same localization as in the item above also shows that Falcom's internal Romanization of "roo" is "loo", but these funny animals are not toilets so most English localizations translate this word into "roo". Falcom's initial English title for Ys: Memories of Celceta was Ys: Foliage Ocean in Celceta, despite the fact that its Japanese title can be neatly translated as Ys: Celceta, the Sea of Trees.

Giant Space Flea from Nowhere: Lots of the bosses have no connection with the storyline, although they may guard a Plot Coupon (e.g. many of the bosses in Wanderers/Oath) or fit with the dungeon theme, such as the Ice Golem in Mask of the Sun. One of the most out-of-place bosses is the centaur boss fought on Minea Plains in Mask. Also, in Ys SEVEN, Rul-Ende, the root of all existence in Altago which appears right after the battle with Tialuna with no explanation beforehand. In Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana, in the true ending route, the Origin of Life appears at the end of the final dungeon with no explanation other than defeating it being the requirement to see Dana.

Goban tells you that the Mask of Eyes allows you to see hidden passages. In the TurboGrafx-CD version, there are the hints of "I saw that blue statue's eyes glow" and the outline of a doorway, but in other versions, there's nothing remotely hinting at the hidden doorway in the shrine basement. The Steam, PSP, iOS, and Android versions will draw slight defects in the lighting of the illusionary walls in the mountain shrine, but those defects are so subtle that they could be easily overlooked and could probably be completely lost if the display in use is of poor quality like a monitor that uses a 6 bit per color channel panel. The illusory wall in Darm Tower is has no visual defects, but Dogi will give Adol a clue to look for Raba in the hallway next to where he is hiding when he breaks Adol out of the dungeon cell.

Apocalypse How: A Class 2 occurred centuries before the collapse of Ys, which itself was a Class 1. The Eldeen's continent was destroyed by unknown means, scattering humanity, demi-humans/beastmen, and a small fraction of Eldeen to the Eresian lands. Lacrimosa of Dana has four Class 3a events happen in its backstory; with only one survivor for each event. None of these events happened in the era of humanity.

Sword of Plot Advancement
 Ys (Video Game) / int_9712e10
comment
Sword of Plot Advancement: The Silver Sword in I requires a sidequest (Guide Dang It!!) to obtain and the game won't let you into Darm Tower until you have it and the accompanying shield and armor. The Hero's Sword in Mask of the Sun and all three Emelas swords in VI perform a similar role in their stories. The Cleria equipment in The Dawn of Ys also qualifies. It gets upgraded to the Eldoran equipment which you need to damage Arem despite it not being the strongest gear. The Emelas swords in VI are required not only to fight with and use magic but are the keys that open certain doors around the islands and are required to control the titular Ark. The Brave Sword in Oath is the only weapon capable of harming The Dragon and Big Bad. Fortunately, it's impossible to miss. The Cleria Sword in Origin (which the ending reveals to be the Silver Sword that appears in Ys I) is the only weapon that can defeat the final boss in Toal's route. Fortunately, it's given to you automatically right before that battle.

Every monster has their own name and dialogue and they can come across as startlingly human (one even mourns the recent death of its daughter and bemoans the fact that it never got to express how important she was to it before she died). Nothing stops you from immediately transforming back and slaughtering them on the spot. However, some monsters will actually talk about how they got beaten up by a red-headed swordsman (i.e you) and are looking to get revenge the next time they see him, suggesting that even though they explode into bits when you kill them, when they respawn they're actually coming back to life again (reinforced by the fact that the monsters keep the same name when they respawn, meaning it is in fact the same monster). So... Zig-Zagged...?

American Kirby Is Hardcore: This◊ is American box art for Ys III for Sega Genesis. Just compare Adol with the picture above. The SNES version and the TurboGrafx-CD version◊ (the latter of which depicts Genos instead of Adol) aren't quite as bad, especially since the SNES version doesn't end up making Adol look like some sort of barbarian, though they still ditch the anime look the series is known for.

Black Magic
 Ys (Video Game) / int_9e2c893
comment
Black Magic: Ys has several instances of this trope. All magic in Ys I, II, and Origin is this because it is sourced from the Black Pearl. Whenever the Black Pearl and other artifacts made of black emelas are used as a source of magic by anyone other than beings made of white emelas like the Eldeen, demons are generated as a side effect. The Philosopher's stone in Ys V is powered by human sacrifices.

Competitive Balance: This is played straight in games utilizing a party system, where all characters have their own stat builds and skills. This is downplayed in Origin, where all characters have the same stat growthnote All base stat growths are equal to Adol's in Napishtim and Felghana, but have different movement speeds, different normal attacks, and different skills.

Distressed Damsel: Multiple cases, but the worst offender has to be Elena in Oath, whom you have to rescue at least three times. Adol himself qualifies, getting captured or trapped and requiring Dogi to break him out of jail/a cave-in at least once per game. Reah and Feena each have to be rescued once in I, II, and Origin (in each path).

Leitmotif
 Ys (Video Game) / int_9f6fb586
comment
The status of most of these is inverted (almost certainly purposefully) in the Oath in Felghana, which gives "The Boy Who Had Wings" much more respect by making it the main overworld theme, while "Prelude to Adventure" can only be heard by stepping outside of town before it's time to set out for the first dungeon (which is after Adol introduces himself to the villagers), after which "The Boy Who Had Wings" plays there instead, and "Theme of Chester" is actually used as Chester's leitmotif, even getting a second version for later in the game. "Chop!!", meanwhile, was heavily remixed and became the theme of the infamously difficult second boss fight with Chester.

Internal Reformist
 Ys (Video Game) / int_a2c7a31
comment
Internal Reformist: While the Romun Empire's government is generally thoroughly rotten, there are few people who do not fit this evil mold and work to reform it. Griselda and Leo in Memories of Celceta are these because they do not tolerate the typical evil that is normal within the Romun Empire's government and instead care for the citizens. Elizabetha, the wife of McGuire in The Oath in Felghana, vows to get her husband to atone for his crimes once Adol tells her about McGuire's evils. She also cares about the villagers of Redmont Village once she meets them. Euron in Lacrimosa of Dana is a military police officer who was on the Lombardia in the first place to try and catch a serial killer. Not only does he want to keep the people of Romn safe from any more killers like Nameless, but he ever so discreetly warns Adol that the Romun Empire has a vested interest in him and to watch out after they get off Seiren Island.

Canon Discontinuity: It's generally agreed that outsourced versions of the games not handled by Falcom themselves are considered non-canon (despite some fans considering the Hudson Soft-produced PC Engine ports to be the definitive renditions of the first few games). The only exception to this is the Super Famicom version of the fourth game (which was not directly developed by Falcom), at least until an internally developed version was made years later. Ys VI confirms the original (by a month) Tonkin House-developed Super Famicom version, Mask of the Sun, canonical over The Dawn of Ys (which allegedly deviated from Falcom's treatment). Remakes of the game (including the Falcom-made Memories of Celceta) also follow Mask of the Sun.

One-Hit Kill: Velagunder in the TurboGrafx-CD version of Ys II can do this to Adol. This is the first boss, and one shot from this boss is enough to kill Adol. Fortunately, its shots are not too fast to be dodged. Killing this boss requires you to shoot this boss with fire magic when it is open to being attacked while dodging all shots from this boss.

comment
Adaptation Dye-Job: In the original version of Wanderers From Ys, Elena & Chester had bright blond hair and blue eyes with maybe a hint of purple in the art (though generally not ingame due to palette restrictions of the era's hardware). In Oath in Felghana, they're now flaxen-haired, notably fairer in complexion than any other Redmont residents (or nearly anyone else in the franchise), and they now have prominent violet eyes, which were also basically unique to them note (until Memories of Celceta came out and introduced a few more characters with that eye color). This might be a bit of Foreshadowing on the artists' part to hint at the fact that they're originally from Genos Island. The new coloration has been carried forward into every appearance the Stoddart siblings have made since, most obviously Ys Vs. Trails in the Sky. The "violet thing" has become so prominent that in the Ys Heroines Calendar◊ bonus for Celceta, violet is even Elena's signature color.

comment
Infinity +1 Sword: The Flame Sword in Ys I and Leo's Sword in The Dawn of Ys. Both are the strongest weapons in the game, both are entirely optional (Leo's Sword requiring a bit of lateral thinking to acquire), and attempting to use either against the final boss will result in you seeing the Game Over screen. As a bonus, these games also include Infinity Plus One Armor and Shields which are equally worthless against the Big Bad. The Violent Light Sword and armor in Mask of the Sun, again useless against the Big Bad Eldeel. Infinity -1 Sword: The Silver Sword/Armor/Shield in Ys I. You can get all of them by around the halfway point of the game, and even scratching Dark Fact requires you to equip the full set.

Ascended Extra: Dogi, the Wall-Crusher! Witness how in Ys I, he's little more than a guy who busts Adol out of prison... never appears In Ys II, and in Ys III (as well as its remake, The Oath in Felghana), he's Adol's only friend and travelling companion, implying they've met before the first game. This got to a point where he's playable in SEVEN (and the first member of Adol's party, for reasons made obvious in Ys III and The Oath in Felghana), in which he pilots a boat under the name of Dogi the Wave-Crusher. Each of the playable characters in Origin can be considered this from the perspective of the other routes. Also, in Oath in Felghana, Dularn and Garland. In the original Wanderers, both barely counted as characters (Dularn got one line, if that, depending the version). In Oath, both have vastly expanded roles. Specifically, as Sister Nell Dularn and Bishop Nikolas Garland. Nell's both a presence in town and stalks you as "Dularn" throughout most of the game, and Garland does a great job fooling everyone before showing his true colors.

Missing Secret
 Ys (Video Game) / int_a9cec1f1
comment
Missing Secret: Generally averted as there's one item or piece of equipment to fill every inventory spot, so if you've missed something, you'll know. Played straight in Mask of the Sun, in which there are more inventory slots than items. The Dawn of Ys looks like it has this, but there are some rare items and post-game bonuses that fill the gaps. Toyed with as a bug in the Korean Ys II Special. After beating the first boss, you will lose any sword in your inventory. There's a second sword you can gain before the boss; not picking it up right away gets you a better weapon later but the inventory system is balanced on the assumption that you grabbed it earlier and lost it forever along with the first sword. Also, in Interchannel's DS port of Ys I (released worldwide as part of Legacy of Ys), where they added a new sword, shield, and armor but forgot to add a new ring, leaving your inventory permanently unbalanced and leading new players to wonder where the non-existent sixth ring was.

Chronic Hero Syndrome: Adol. An interesting case where the Chronic Hero Syndrome isn't because he can't say no when someone's in trouble and keeps running into problems, but a deliberate lifestyle choice by a character who set out to look for problems and people in need of saving. He's far less hapless than most examples of the trope.

Soundtrack Dissonance

comment
Soundtrack Dissonance: For example, the "Valley of Quicksand" theme is a laid-back Latin style "beach" or "surf" tune, played while, Exactly What It Says on the Tin, you're in a harsh desert ridden with killer quicksand pits. And "Quatera Woods" sounds like the soundtrack for a peaceful walk in the park with your special someone, but the woods of Quatera are anything but a nature walk, with Everything Trying to Kill You, even squirrels. And one of the worst offenders is "Crimson Wings", the Ice Mountain theme, which sounds like elevator jazz/muzak in the TurboGrafx-CD version, clashing with the song title as well, although in the SFC version and on the Perfect Collection album, it's much more upbeat. "Defend and Escape" from The Ark of Napishtim, while musically sad, is played during a heated Escort Mission sequence. The song "Anxiety" is anything but anxious-sounding. "So Much For Today" from Ys I & II Chronicles is a cute, upbeat tune that plays when Adol is defeated.

She basically wears a bikini and a long scarf/sash around her shoulders, and acts in a very flirtatious manner, greeting Adol with "Don't be shy. Feel free to look, touch and even try on for size!" Despite her not being a story-relevant character in any way, her bed is one of three you have to sleep in to get the "Juuuuust Right" achievement (Adol describes her bed as being "warm and sinful") and, despite the fact that she stands with her back to a wall and never moves, they put a special secret mascot figure in the game of her facing away from the camera just so you can get to see the "backside" of her sprite.

Girl of the Week: Ys heroines are known as "the Bond Girls of video gaming" for a reason — Adol seems to end up with at least one love interest per game. Lilia is the most "solid" love interest Adol's ever had but even she's been AWOL for three games now. Elena is (very arguably) the most popular one with the fans. And, as per its wont, Ys SEVEN really fucks with the player's expectations (and head) concerning this, especially at the end.

comment
Aerith and Bob: Lots of towns feature characters with a mishmash of European-sounding names with a couple oddballs thrown in. For example, Xandria in Ys V features Neina and Rije. Although Neina isn't from Xandria... Ys: The Oath in Felghana is better about this. Characters other than villains (aside from Count McGuire having a real last name) tend to have normal names such as the sibling duo of Elena and Chester, Mayor Edgar, and even a miner who has recently been mistaken to have died in a mining accident named Bob. Ys SEVEN gives us two sibling characters. The older one is a young man named Mustafa — a real Arabic name and thus one that works for someone from a location based on part of North Africa. His younger sister, Cruxie, however, has a name that doesn't sound like something someone from North Africa would have.

Money Spider: Played straight in all games but V. Dead enemies drop money and occasionally things like Emel and Raval. Enemies in Oath and Origin also drop instant-use healing items and temporary stat boosts and enemies in SEVEN drop synthesis items. In V, the enemies don't drop money, instead they drop gems that you exchange for cash. (Don't ask why the literal spiders are carrying around topaz.)

 Ys (Video Game) / int_c7270d1c
comment
With This Herring: Played straight in most games (it wasn't until VI that you actually started with anything) but averted in Dawn (which starts Adol off with the Cleria equipment). All the games since VI have given Adol a sword at the very least. Strangely, Adol doesn't even need to have a sword actually equipped to use one in Memories (though you're given your first sword right before you first enter combat, so you might as well equip it). To be fair, there's not much difference between starting with a sword/armor/shield and starting with the money to buy said sword/armor/shield. Although, one has to wonder, "just what happened to Adol's sword in Wanderers, the one he used to kill the beast in the prologue/cutscene with, if he shows up in Redmont with absolutely no equipment at all?"

Shout-Out
 Ys (Video Game) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: An achievement in the Steam version of Ys II uses an icon graphic styled to look like an 8-bit era text box. The text within reads "Fortune smiles upon thee!". Hitting villagers with the fireball spell sometimes produces humorous commentary. One character will say "BARF". Another will say "Ouch! What do you do?" In the Ys I Chronicles version, using the Rod (for the Darm Tower mirrors) as an item will result in Adol attempting to short-circuit the rest of the game by chanting "Accio Books of Ys". It doesn't work. One of the demons that controls one of the gates in the Shrine of Solomon in Ys II requires a pass before it will raise the gate. It says "Passes, please." in the Steam version. The page quote from The Oath of Felghana is paraphrased very slightly from the Billy Joel song "Baby Grand." One roo in Ys: Origin is named Rootkit, a type of malware. Ys II Chronicles' English localization has shout outs to the TurboGrafx-CD version. The first shout out is that Jade will say that he used to sell herbs, but has quit doing so in the English localization. He sold the herbs in the TGCD version. The second shout out is where Zalem in the English localization of Ys II Chronicles states that she was forced to wear thicker clothes when Ramia Village used to be colder. In the North American TGCD version, she wears a toga that is much more conservative than the original Japanese version due to Bowdlerisation, and Ramia Village is as icy as the Ice Ridge of Noltia. The weather is much more temperate in Ys II Chronicles.

Unspoken Plan Guarantee: Painfully subverted in Origin. Toal's plan to destroy the Black Pearl will mean his certain death. Reah's plan to seal the Black Pearl will cause her and Feena to lose their powers and slumber for centuries. Partway through the game, Toal finds a third option that doesn't require one of them to make a Heroic Sacrifice for the sake of the other, but doesn't explains what it is. After the final battle, Reah implements her plan, with Toal lying wounded and exhausted from his battle with Darm/Cain Fact on the floor, begging her not to, leaving the third option forever unspoken and unexecuted.

Death of a Thousand Cuts: Some enemies have defenses against the entirety of some characters' attacks that these characters are forced to defeat such enemies with this strategy. A character can also intentionally use this strategy to fill up the experience multiplier meter if it is present in the game with weapons an enemy is strong against to level up quickly because that meter does not care about the quality of the hits as long as those hits deal at least Scratch Damage.

We Cannot Go On Without You: If Feena were to die while being escorted in Eternal and all its remakes? That's it, you're done, great job Adol, you just got a goddess killed, no way to win now.

Depending on the Artist
 Ys (Video Game) / int_d83f3588
comment
Depending on the Artist: As the series has been running for three decades and across a huge spectrum of hardware, this has, unsurprisingly, cropped up. 1&2 tend to be particular examples due to how often they've been ported & remade. An especially notable example is Lilia - or specifically, Lilia's hair. In many of the early releases, it seemed more reddish than anything - darker than Adol's flame-red, but still red. Some of the promo art from that period, though, gave her dark brown hair. These days she's more consistently a medium-brown.

Our Dragons Are Different
 Ys (Video Game) / int_d88e125e
comment
Our Dragons Are Different: Dragons in this world are artificial creations by humans who tried to make Emelas but failed. However, this is recently subverted in Ys SEVEN, in which the five dragons of Altago, who are worshiped as gods there, have no connection to the Emelas or the Eldeen civilization.

The Magic Goes Away
 Ys (Video Game) / int_d91d0365
comment
The Magic Goes Away: Happens at the end of many installments due to Adol's defeating Sealed Evil in a Can. Ys II: The destruction of the Black Pearl leads to the magic disappearing from Ys with the floating continent's coming back down. Ys IV: Eldeel's sealing himeslf (the last of the Eldeen civilization) and the destruction of the Mask of the Sun result in the complete end of the Eldeen civilization and the Akashic Records being lost to the world. Ys V: The defeat of Jabir and the destruction of the philosopher's stone cause the end of the mythical kingdom of Kefin and its alchemy. Ys Seven: Dragon energy goes away after Adol destroys Rul-Ende to keep Altago from being destroyed. Unfortunately, the dragons' existence is tied to Rul-Ende's existence, so dragon energy no longer exists because it uses the dragons as their source.

Unlockable Content: Most Ys games have a Time Attack mode unlocked after beating the main story, where players can refight bosses, but with set equipment and levels. In Ys: Memories of Celceta, the player can activate Time Attack from the memories menu and choose any accessories they want to complement the preset gear, but the effects of Wanderer's and Hero's Cloaks are nullified for the sake of balance.

Video Game Perversity Potential
 Ys (Video Game) / int_d9f4cb75
comment
Video Game Perversity Potential: In the Steam version of Ys I there are two achievements for sexually molesting Feena while rescuing her from the Shrine. The first ("Hey Baby, What's Your Width?") is done by crowding her into a narrow dead-end corridor on the way out so she can't get past you and pushing her up against the wall at the end until she complains you're scaring her. The second ("I Can't See You, But I Can Feel You", with the description '"Measure" Feena in the creepiest way possible') requires you to do so while wearing the Mask of Eyes (which lets you see secrets at the cost of hiding all NPCs and monsters). The achievement icons are pretty perverse too. Gets a hilarious Call-Back in Ys II where there's an achievement for "measuring" Tarf. This time the achievement icon has a sign across the image saying "NO, I REFUSE TO DRAW THIS." And again in The Oath in Felghana for "measuring" Elena. Also the "Juuuuust Right" achievement from Ys II which you get for climbing into the (empty) beds of three different girls (Lilia, Maria and Zalem the weapon store owner), leading to Adol describing the smell and feeling, with a subtle insinuation that he's enjoying himself a bit while he's there.

Empty Room Psych
 Ys (Video Game) / int_dae59ff8
comment
Empty Room Psych: Quite a few areas exist purely to show off the pretty graphics and make players wonder what they're missing. Subverted with the empty room at the bottom of the mines in Ys I. It's just an empty room at first, but in Ys II, when the titular land is restored to its place, it becomes the doorway to the Core of Ys. Also, some of the dead ends in the mines in I and II make more sense once you realize that you're looking at two halves of what used to be one structure. In fact, both mines are named Rastin/Rasteenie.

Bad Future: Inverted — Origin shows Esteria's bad past. The surface below Ys has craggy rocks, lava flows, and noxious gas everywhere, except near the Roda Trees, which are essentially oases of lushness in the ruined land. Contrast how it looks 700 years later when Adol arrives, when the surface had recovered and become a small country called Esteria whose fields are lush and has a port town by the ocean, and some descendants of the priests of Ys live there, with Goban (a Tovah descendant) assisting with Adol's raid on Darm Tower and Luta Gemma assisting with the same thing within the tower. In addition, after Adol visits Ys and finishes his journey there in the second game, Ys returns to the surface, reuniting Ys with Esteria.

comment
Boss Subtitles: In the Japanese versions of the games, glorious Engrish subtitles began with Ys VI and continued in Oath and Origin, giving us such wonders as 'Garland — Mind Broken of the Darkness'. The accompanying Japanese subtext tended to make a lot more sense but wasn't half as fun. Ys SEVEN has only Japanese titles. XSEED Games's localizations translate these properly, and had fun with at least one in SEVEN, with one boss having the subtitle "big bug beast". Falcom actually started doing this with Ys Eternal, where the titles all went "[Boss Name] — [Ys Priest Name]'s Redemption of [Priest's power]". This was dropped in II Eternal and removed from the original entirely in Chronicles.

Art Evolution: The series's art style varies between games, though one example of a change in art style is Ys SEVEN having Adol and Dogi looking older than in the first game (which they both debuted in), but since several years passed between those games, it actually makes more sense than a lot of examples of the trope and ends up being less noticeable. Notably, Ys I & II Chronicles introduces new in-game artwork different from the Eternal / Complete versions Chronicles is based on while also including an option to use the artwork from those versions.

However, some monsters will actually talk about how they got beaten up by a red-headed swordsman (i.e you) and are looking to get revenge the next time they see him, suggesting that even though they explode into bits when you kill them, when they respawn they're actually coming back to life again (reinforced by the fact that the monsters keep the same name when they respawn, meaning it is in fact the same monster). So... Zig-Zagged...?

Laser-Guided Amnesia: Adol suffers this in Ys: Memories of Celceta. More specifically, this is what happens to the outsiders who come into the village of Highland for knowledge and get out. Namely, they forget about the existence of Eldeel and the village of Highland but retain the knowledge they received from Eldeel. This is done to ensure that people do not come back for more knowledge and end up changing the future recorded in the Akashic Records too much. However, Adol suffered his amnesia from falling down a waterfall and forgot much more like his name and that he is a swordsman He did not have any amnesia inflicted on him in Highland because he refused to accept knowledge from Eldeel.

Oddball in the Series/Later Installment Weirdness: Among the games, a few have been or are considered major stumbling blocks for the franchise: The first is the original Ys III: Wanderers From Ys. This one generated a fairly significant divided base; the music was awesome and people liked the story and art, but the sudden shift to Zelda II-ish side scrolling was deeply unpopular. Oath in Felghana more or less fixed all the problems people had with the game, though, and Oath is considered a contender for "best Ys game ever". The merits of the original Wanderers remains a point of contention, though. Interestingly, Ys III was also chosen to essentially "headline" the series' original Western push in the early 90s, once Falcom was interested in that market and since it was at that point the newest game. The game ended up being just as divisive in the West as in Japan, and so the original Ys push fizzled, leading to us missing Ys IV and V. On that note... The much more obvious oddball is Ys V: Kefin, The Lost City of Sand. On the surface it sounded great, elaborating on a relatively unexplored portion of the world and backstory. But it was only released for the Super Famicom in its first release (taking the series completely away from its PC roots and even from its TurboGrafx-16 following), was hugely limited graphically as a result of being cartridge-based (with many complaining that "it looks like every other Super Famicom RPG ever, but blander", which is particularly impressive given the intended exoticism of the game's particular setting), and worst by far, the music was all synth and pseudo-orchestral rather than the CD-quality rock tracks the series had become famous for! Although Ys V did establish some things that would later become standard procedure in later games (jumping, fast-paced button-mashing as opposed to just running into dudes, etc), ultimately the single (non-PC) platform and comparatively awful music caused a full-blown fan revolt in Japan as former fans absolutely despised the game. Ys III may have taken some heat but Kefin just about killed the franchise stone dead. Falcom had to spend the next seven years developing other games and remakes of the first two games just to repair their reputation before daring to try and release another new Ys game. To this day, Kefin ranks pretty squarely at the bottom of polls when the games are ranked; only the pretty cool story prevents it from being completely rejected by fans.

Check-Point Starvation: In the Very Definitely Final Dungeon of Ys V, you have to fight three very tough bosses, with no save points in between. Unlike previous games where you could save anywhere, this one only allows you to save at inns in town.

But Now I Must Go: Adol is the king of this trope. Most often, he'll leave behind some maiden who's obviously fallen for him standing on a dock, watching him go. Also, the twin goddesses at the end of Ys II.

 Ys (Video Game) / int_f11c3835
comment
Anti-Grinding: The amount of XP granted from a given enemy is a function of the monster's level relative to Adol's level. After a while, defeating a monster will only yield 1XP, with hundreds or thousands needed to level up. Most versions of Ys I also have a 10 level cap that is maxed out so quickly that there's usually no point in grinding (even without trying, you'll end up within one level of reaching it by the time you find the third book of six).

comment
Mercy Kill: In Taito's port of Ys IV, people transformed into monsters by Bami can't be saved; they can only be killed, briefly returning them to human form before they die. Karna was angry with Adol for killing Remnos until she saw another victim thank Adol for freeing him and allowing him to die as a man, after which she apologized.

All Your Base Are Belong to Us
 Ys (Video Game) / int_f4fd424c
comment
All Your Base Are Belong to Us: Several of the games have their main town occupied by the enemy at some point and/or the residents captured. The Oath in Felghana has the town of Redmont attacked instead of occupied with everyone getting close to losing hope, but things get better when Dogi's trainer, Berhardt, gets everyone's spirits up and has the women and children take shelter while the men heavily guard the town, complete with more upbeat music starting up.

Disc-One Final Dungeon: The Abandoned Mine in I, after which is the Point of No Return and the Evil Tower of Ominousness that takes up the entire second half of the game. Also, the Moat of Burnedbless in II, the Elderm Mountains in III (which features the last Fetch Quest item), and the Xandria underground in V, where you fight the Climax Boss, the One-Winged Angel of The Dragon, Dorman, and Ruins Island in SEVEN.

Baleful Polymorph: In older versions of Ys IV, Bami's favorite hobby is to transform humans into monsters (she simply uses mind control in Memories of Celceta). This includes Adol. Dalles did it at least once himself.

Nice Job Breaking It, Herod!: McGuire ordered the genocide of Genos Island to kill the descendants of Genos. If it had succeeded, an ironic case of Nice Job Fixing It, Villain! would have resulted because unsealing the local Galbalan requires draining energy from one of the descendants of Genos.

Sequence Breaking
 Ys (Video Game) / int_fb111d49
comment
Sequence Breaking: In Ys Eternal (but not in later versions) it was possible to get the Silver Armor while you were still at Level 1 by entering the Mine, running away from everything and hoping you could get to the chest and back before something killed you. As the second best armor in the game, it made the beginning much easier. Later versions removed this by requiring the Treasure Box Key to be obtained in the Shrine Depths before you could open the chest. It's possible to do the same thing in VI (in fact, given the similarities, it could be an intentional Shout-Out) by entering the Limewater Cave as soon as you reach Canaan Island. Provided you're good at running away, this lets you get the Galba Armor and Shield (the second best in the game) much earlier than you're supposed to.

Hopeless Boss Fight
 Ys (Video Game) / int_fc07d409
comment
Hopeless Boss Fight: The first and third phases of the Final Boss in Mask of the Sun. After dodging Eldeel's lightning attacks for a minute, Adol will solve the Moon Logic Puzzle and figure that you have to use the MacGuffin necklace on him. During the third phase, after dodging him again for a while, the Disciples will destroy his armor with a group attack. A more literal example: the battle with the possessed Keith Fact atop Darm Tower in The Dawn of Ys. Failure Is the Only Option here. The first fight with Garland in Oath. It is literally impossible to break his defensive barrier without the game's Sword of Plot Advancement, which you don't get until after the fight. The mid-level boss fights of Guilty Fire level of Origin for Yunica and Hugo's route's are intended to be unbeatable. You can beat them if you level up enough, but all you get out of it is an achievement slightly different scene after the battle (which has the same net effect on the plot).
