Ys Memoire: Revelations In Celceta Is Coming West In 2026

@JohnnyMind Oath in Felghana is great if you want try the older style, ys 8 is probably best if you want the newer style. Of course, the really really old style is yet a different thing again…

Thats cool what would be even better would be cold steel 1&2 for switch in English since they are the same publisher.

Sounds awesome! Love me some more JRPGs, even if I don't have time for all the ones I want to try out.

I’m a fan of this series. I’ve finished 8, 9, and recently 10. I’ve always preferred real-time combat to turn-based and the stories are interesting and well told.
Ys 8 was the first I played on Switch. I hadn’t heard of the series prior to that. I’d recommend that entry to start with.
I’ll probably buy this new remaster on release day.

IV is really one of the best in the series. Music is godly, though it's the case with many Falcom games.

I adore the Ys franchise. I’ll definitely be picking this up once it releases in the west.

Nice! I'll finish having the whole series on Switch/Switch 2, it seems haha.

Next ones: Ark of Naphistim and Seven. And afterwards, an ambitious remaster of Lacrimosa of Dana, the best in the series, please.

Love the Ys series and Memories of Celceta was my first game (and the reason I bought a Vita!). Absolutely loved it and the soundtrack is, expectedly, a banger (Ys games have really good soundtracks).

I recently wrapped up a replay of Ys Memoire: Oath in Felghana and was surprised how much less I enjoyed it than expected.. loved it the first playthrough a couple of years ago but getting lost in dungeons became unfun fairly quick - Memories is the "newer" 3 character fighting style and it's way more fun in my opinion.

@JohnnyMind I've only played Ys Origin, one time, and it was a really fun intro to the series with replay value too. I have a physical of Felghana, which looks similar in graphics to Origin and more my style, but yet to play it. Im not sure how I feel about the graphics for this one but discovering Ys as a series has been a delight so far, hope you one day enjoy as much

Yes, that was a pretty good game. Will definitely play it again!

@the_beaver And maybe a proper remake of Ys V as that'd be the only one left (not that PS2 remake by Taito).

@JohnnyMind Origin was my first Ys game and I absolutely loved everything about it. The combat feels really great and the levelling up, is very satisfying. Once it gets going, it's hard to put down. Just talking about it makes me want to play it again.

@JohnnyMind
i loved origin, its actually a hard choice between it and felghana for me when it comes to that style of Ys game.

When it comes to the party based one i definitely am among those praising the ever loving heck of of Ys VIII though i do have a soft spot for this game, maybe its because it was a game i was super hyped for back in the vita days but it always had a really cozy vibe among the Ys games especially with the different towns you visit, it kind of feels like a trails games in some ways when it comes to things like sidequests (though the actual halfway point between trails and ys would probably be something like tokyo Xanadu which i also enjoyed)

Yes this is great news, I was waiting for this for a long time. Now all we need after this are Ys I & II Chronicles, Ys V: Lost Kefin, Kingdom of Sand, Ys VI: Ark of Naphistim, and Ys Seven then that will complete the entire main series (before Ys XI) on Switch.

@JohnnyMind
i feel like with this one there were a couple of gameplay aspects which could be frustrating which future ones fixed such as how its easy to get to 99% of the map explored and be searching for that extra 1% (with VIII onwards they also showed the % of each area so you could narrow down which zone the missing % was in) and having to keep swapping exploration accessories (think something like the movement power ups in a "metroidvania") from the menu (iirc ys VIII let you equip multiple at once so you didnt have to swap as much and could keep ones you would often use on)

I havent played Ys IX yet, did play some of YsX but thought i would wait until proud nordics to play more.

There was also Ys seven on psp i enjoyed a lot, it had a lot of elements which would carry over to this one, iirc it got a re-release on PC but no modern console one like Felghana and this.

Looks at the physical Japnese copy of Ys Memoire: Memories of Celceta for Switch you have to go, sorry... at least I'll keep the free soundtrack CD.

Keep 'em coming!

when YS6 and YS7

Fully supporting falcom! Day one I guess

Awesome! I had a feeling we'd get this eventually given that Xseed brought over Felghana earlier this year. And in classic Xseed fashion, there's a nice day one physical edition!

Hopefully we eventually get the rest of the Ys back catalogue on Switch, along with Cold Steel I & II.

Fantastic. I just started playing the Ys games last year, and next up I have either Celceta (was going to play the Vita version) or Seven (PSP).

I think I’ll play Seven first then I’ll grab this one on Switch next year. Perfect.

@topsekret Cold Steel 1&2 and the whole Sky trilogy are weird eShop omissions. I would buy all 5 of those instantly, and I know I’m not the only one.

@imgrowinglegs I've kinda come to terms with the fact that we probably won't ever get the original Sky trilogy on Switch, but at least we'll have the remake of the 1st game. And you would think that remakes of the other 2 will follow.

Cold Steel I & II are the ones I'm most concerned about since they came out 4 years ago on Switch in Japan, so it seems pretty unlikely we'll get them at this point. Guess it's an issue of Xseed (the company that did the original English localization) not being able to work out a deal with CLE (the company that did the Switch port in Japan) to split profits for a western release.

Fantastic game, played this on PS4 last year.

Was not a big fan of this one but I also never got very far in it. Loved Dawn of Ys though (the original Ys IV made by Hudson), that one's a stone cold classic!

Don't get me wrong. I'm happy this game is finally coming to the Switch. I will buy it Day 1. I just want to know. Where is Trails of Cold Steel I and II Xseed?

Yes! This is an excellent Ys game, and I still bring out the Vita every now and then to play it. Highly recommended to anyone who has not tried the series. The games are mostly self-contained and often retread the same themes and story beats. That's all there to get to the action and locations, imo.
And some others, even, would argue all THAT is just there to serve the amazing music, lol.

Great news. More Ys please.

An Ys-y purchase, I think! I've been hoping they'd announce this one for the West.

Preorders for the physical collector's edition are open on US Amazon.
