Ys Memoire: The Oath In Felghana Switch Localisation Announced, Launching Early 2025

I mean, it was already localised and fully voiced on the PSP back in 2010. Are they redoing it from scratch, or are they using the PSP localisation?

I really liked the PSP voice acting, I hope they don't need to redo it.

I really like the PSP version. Didn’t realise it had an updated Switch version.

Yes! I really hope this is true; more YS games would be... Marvelous.

I hope that they will release it in the world.
@EarthboundBenjy Well, the game has original Japanese voice-overs from the PSP remake, if I'm not mistaken.

>XSEED
No, thank you.

This is huge news if XSeed is working with Falcom on new ports. That means that getting CS1/2 or even (potentially) Trails in the Sky ports could happen!!!

Nice, i’ve been looking for a physical PSP version and they’re all in the I don’t wanna spend that on a PSP game price range so definitely be picking this up on the ps5, maybe on the PSP if the re-release sinks it’s eBay prices.

I already have this one on Vita, but good for the ones that would like to play this game on more modern hardware.

Would like them to localize V and rerelease VI please, still need to play these two .

The more Ys the better. A lot of people don’t know this about me but I am a big fan of Falcoms output.

Ys Origins is a great game. I've heard this one is similar but even better.

This might be the best Ys game, I frequently replay it and I'll gladly triple dip (have it on Steam and Vita.)

@OorWullie Gameplay wise they're very similar, and I'd give Felghana and slight edge because:
A. You don't have to beat the game 3 times to get the full story
B. It's not as overly punishing if you miss a treasure chest as it is in Origin. I mean, if you miss a single piece of Cleria Ore, you're screwed against the next boss.
Both awesome games, though.

@AlexanderDaniels What's up with XSEED? I've bought two or three of their games, and I haven't really seen any issues.

So we've got Ys X coming when exactly?

I'll definitely pick it up, I had a lot of fun with it on PSP. I've played all the Ys games, or at least those translated by either fans or officially, and it's in the top tier.

Asking once again for Cold Steel 1 and 2 English.

@mlt It's supposed to come late 2024. Didn't find anything more specific.

Ys is very underrated imo compared to Trails. Trails gets most of the attention, but Ys is great too.

I would like to see some more games on modern consoles though. Ys VI & Ys Seven come to mind.

@OorWullie You have heard correctly! I’m a big fan of both games.

@TheFox XSEED was always terrible. And hypocritical too. They made fun of other localizers and censorship simultaneously doing the same thing. Senran Kagura games have cringy meme translations too. They even used rub the dub thanks for grub meme and made up a lot of nicknames.

definitely will pick it up!!

This, Oden Shpehre, and Parodius are the last of the PSP games I really really adore that haven’t made it to Switch yet.exited to hear this.

Yes now hopefully I could get a physical version of this game without relying on the Steam version.

In the Switch era (which I have been reflecting on a bit as of late) I have been introduced to so many new series, and even genres.
Since the Nintendo Direct Mini in January 2018, and the reveal of Ys 8 for our little hybrid I’ve been hooked on the series!! I want to play them all, but only have access to the three on Switch (Origins, 8, and 9.)
I want this one, and I want it to come sooner than later! I then want it to sell one hundred million copies (more than Mario Kart 8. Very realistic) and I want all of the Ys games to hit Switch.

This is my favorite in the series. Kept me company on Army deployment along with Tactics Ogre and Breath of Fire IV. It'll be nice to run through it again.

@buchu8oolong I know Odin Sphere came to PS Vita, maybe that is what you mean. But yes. I want everything Vanillaware on the Switch.

@LikelySatan yeah, Odin Sphere on Vita, not PSP, and yes, any Vanillaware game come to Switch are good news. I still wait for Muramasa Rebirth, one of the best hack&slash game ever

I have this game on a steam, but I would double dip. It’s very good.

@AlexanderDaniels Huh. I figured Senran Kagura fans were oblivious to cringe.

I wish they'd port over all of the older Ys games to Switch.

The Oath in Felghana is the best, though. It's almost perfectly paced and just the right length to encourage replayability. Truly the Super Metroid of the Ys series.

Ah f***... I bought the Japanese physical not even a month ago thinking this would never happen!

I hope I can at least update it to get the English localisation added :/ (Capcom has done that in the past)

I wonder how much will cost. Ys Origins feels like a steal when on 60% sale. I still have to do the third run.

I received my Japanese copy in April 2023, and it looks like a lovely game, but with my backlog the way it is, people who purchase the Western release will probably play it before I do! 😓

Oh this is great, Ys III at last! I still like the side on view in Wanderers from Ys, but I wasn't about to deal with no English translation (eyeing you Egg Console). Now for Ys IV - VII and I'll be good to go with this series.

Was hoping it would be sooner. Seems like forever since the Japanese version was announced.

More Ys?
I'm in!

...
Ugh, character limit

Faclom always announces their games too far in advance... Why do they announce a port already that much in advance...

So not until 2025. Hopefully, we can fill that waiting time with YS10.

Be aware that this is more a hack & slash game than a RPG like VIII. I played it on PSP after VIII and I was dissapointed, I couldn't finish it.
It's the same with Origins (another game I couldn't finish).

I'm happy for those who like these games. I prefer the style of Seven and beyond, more RPG focused. VIII Lacrimosa of Dana is my favorite so far, and I can't wait for X Nordics!!

Will buy for surr

I echo disappointment in how far away this release is, but also Ys X is already on the way this fall, as well as like 7 other video games I plan on getting. It’s probably just too crowded to throw this out there any sooner

@mauhlin12 It’s my favorite in the series

@Ralizah Ys III (PCE) and Felghana also collectively have the best music in the entire series, in my opinion.

But yeah the reimagined boss fights are so damn good in Felghana. As is the feeling of being a total badass when defeating them.

@the_beaver It’s a remake of YS III: Wanderers from Ys, which was a 16-bit action platformer.

So yeah that was always in it’s blood

@MeloMan I have personally really been enjoying everything EGG Console in Switch so far (except Level 7 of Xanadu 😡), and Japanese only YS III wasn’t going to stop me.

I recommend a translation app like Google Lens or Cam Translator (you do have to subscribe, but you can just cancel after finishing the game). You just take a picture of the screen and it usually translates it very well.

Looking forward to this! I played the original Ys 3 on TG-16 when it was new. Not one of my favorite games, so it will be nice to play the remake that I missed on Sony hardware way back when.
