Still remember playing Ys 1 and 2 on my Windows XP PC like 20 years ago. Time flies. To Make the End of Battle is just one of those songs that will stick with you forever, what an epic piece of music.
@@Kn3rd5oftheRoundTable That's funny. I hadn't seen YS videos since like a year. I started watching then again last week and this comment came up. Talk about timing.
@@christopheribarra1170 I go through these weird phases where I have to listen to the music, play the games and watch some vids on it. I have been a fan since NEC released the US version I think in 1989 or so on TurboGrafx CD. I was hook then LOL
Gotta love that they ( mostly ) used a rock-style openingnumber. Getting you pumped up for the game. "To make the end of battle" also works great as ringtone.
@@NarutoUzumaski it’s really enjoyable. They’ve gotten better with their story telling over time imo. It’s definitely not bad. You get a real sense of adventure and the world building is good
I understand people can have different taste in gaming, but I just can't help but feel sorry for gamers who have not even tried Ys or Trails games. They are missing out on one of the best jrpg series of all time. These games resonate so much with me and I love every moment of it.
Underrated game series. That also goes for their other games as well. And its like the Tales of series and Persona or Shin megami tensei series they all need more attention and love.
Ys Oath of Felghana and Ys Origins are my favorites. Would love to see a Ys 5 remake in the style of them. I don't think the Ys 8 style would work for Ys 1 and 2 because Adol is by himself.
Woah, that's actually the first Ys related theme I ever heard, though I didn't know what it was from, at the time. I more or less played through the entire series a few years ago, with it in the back of my mind, expecting it to run into it again... Never got it... So it was from some crossover the whole time? Damnit! x)
@Motoko Chan Ys IX is a good game, but it's definitely a step down from VIII. I suspected it was a funding issue, and several sources confirm this. I hope they get things sorted for X as well. Should be a milestone in the series.
@@allananderson6343 I think IX had a tiny bit better gameplay than VIII cause of the gifts that allow more flexibility but yeah overall it wasn't as good as Dana imo in every other aspect. Still a great game tho
@@masterxl97 A ton of Japanese game developers are bleeding cash at the moment. Just a year or two ago Nippon Icchi couldn't even pay their employees and had to slash staff deeply. Falcom is also hurting without the extra funds of the global market. Covid had also spiked development costs due to Japan's public health policy, and the need to work remote. In what can only be called desperation by both companies, they partnered to localize Ys VIII and now Ys IX. The initial translations for Ys VIII was so bad,a public apology was issued and the game was re-translated, re-dubbed, and re-localized from scratch. This only happened because of the steep budget cuts and attempts to cut corners on development and localization.
Monstrum Nox doesn't have an opening because having actual character animation instead of flash tweens in Lacrimosa of Dana's opening blew out the budget
Playing all the YS games you find things that are in common. 1. It takes place in the East 2. All villains belong in the same organization etc. of some sort searching for some relic. 3. All ancient beings are somehow related to each other as came from an ancient civilization long forgotten. 4. The origin of magic derived from the same ancient civilization. 5. Adol destined to save all of East.
You forgot degens who always go on making a deal with ancient devils only to miserably fail and letting us to clean up after them. After Adol kicks their asses obviously
If you look at the maps for Ys, the world is actually an alternate version of Western Europe. Some of the countries/region names are slight variations of real names. Some examples of this are Romn which is Rome, Ispani is Spain, Afroca is Africa, Gllia is France, and Britai which is Britain.
Uhhh, you didn't start with 1987 at all. That's pretty misleading. The oldest original game you have here is Ys VI, everything else is remakes so there's nothing here from 1987.
I hope we'll get something like ys vs sora no kiseki again someday, ys-style fighting game with both ys and kiseki characters from the modern games would be awesome.
Played everything but Lacrimosa so far. I defeated last boss in Origin for Yunica but a bug kept the ending from plsying every time. Haven't cleared Ark of Naphistism cause my psp died before i could. Currently playing Memories of Celcetta....Damnit Falcom, you're burning through my wallet!
I'm an American and started my Ys journey in 2011 with Origin and Chronicles. Have played most of them now. I truly wish I'd gotten to experience them back when you did. Ys 1 and 2 for the PC Engine/Turbografx CD would have blown me away as a kid in the 1990s. The West never got Ys 4: Dawn of Ys. As good as Ys 4: Memories of Celceta is I've heard Dawn of Ys is one of the most incredible experiences and I hate that we missed out on it.
To me, the best Openings in order of music and quality of video is: YS II - Even if the animation isn't great they did an awesome job with that one, Then Ys Origin because tha Guitar and Violin just gets me every time, Ys Memories of Celceta, that game opening gives me the chills, Ys Seven and Ys Lacrimosa of Dana. I love Dana's opening but it's one of the most serene openings, quite celestial, and I like it yeah, but Falcom shines when they make really amazing bangs like Origins and Ys II. I love them all though.
@@hanifj1225 Yeah, that is their own fate alone. That's why Adol never fell in love again after realizing Feena will be turned into a statue when her sister and her is gonna seal the Black Pearl. Even if Adol ever gotten to make girls fall in love with him, he still wouldn't want to go through the trouble of losing anyone again so he mustn't get attached to them too much. Even if beautiful girls like Olha, Terra, Elena, and Dana would most likely appear in his life, he just couldn't feel the same love as he did when he met Feena.
The openings were always passion projects done by their developers in programming downtime. With IX, budget cuts, and the sheer size of the game, made that almost impossible. I hope they patch one in later, but they may just be saving the budget for X
Yes sir, one of the best and oldest JRPG series of the video game industry, everygame has it's unique combat system and mechanics I strongly recommend you play in the canon order but you can also play by launch order.
Ys 6 on the PSP is FUCKING GOAT. The game is better on the ps2 but goddamn the opening on psp is GOAT. Ys 1 and 2 is my favorite but it is also the first one I played and both opening are great. Ys 7 and 8 are classics OP too. Celceta ain't bad.
Ys 2 opening is so creative. It's not just a mix of quick cuts, it also has a very cool suspense build-up and omg, that lightning at 5:01.
Still remember playing Ys 1 and 2 on my Windows XP PC like 20 years ago. Time flies. To Make the End of Battle is just one of those songs that will stick with you forever, what an epic piece of music.
今から30年以上前に、PCエンジンで初めてイース1&IIをプレイした時は感動した。イースの1をクリアした後にいきなり、かっこいい音楽とアニメシーンに切り替わり、アドルが天空の浮遊島に導かれるシーンは凄かった。
私はゲーム歴41年ですけど、これに出会って価値観が変わったのは現実です。PCエンジンCDーROmで出会ったんですが、何回クリアしてもこの感動は私の宝です!
私もイースシリーズに衝撃を受けた、一人です。移植作品と完全版は良かった。

I first played Y's 1 & 2 when i was young on TurboGrafx 16-CD, i was in love with the serie since then!
Ys Seven opening music will be my forever favorite Ys opening music
Finished origin, oath, seven, and lacrimosa. Lacrimosa of dana is the most emotional and the best for me.
Is the story good? like reaaaaally good?
@@anasmadani5217 yeah lacrimosa is super damn great. The story is touching and the battle system is good too.

I understand people can have different taste in gaming, but I just can't help but feel sorry for gamers who have not even tried Ys or Trails games. They are missing out on one of the best jrpg series of all time. These games resonate so much with me and I love every moment of it.
Anyone else gutted that YS IX Monstrum Nox didn't have an intro?
Underrated game series. That also goes for their other games as well. And its like the Tales of series and Persona or Shin megami tensei series they all need more attention and love.
YS VIII is the moment Adol Realise that ARMOR won't do SH** against those calamity level opponent XD
イースは昔からプレイしてたけど
8は最高傑作!、心が沸き上がるファンタジー
冒険が楽しくなる盛り上がり方
気持ちの良い楽曲に爽快感のある戦闘
王道といえばありきたりかもしれないけど
最初からEDまで楽しくプレイ出来るRPG
9や10も出てるけど
自分には8が一番!
でも、1&2を8の感じで出して欲しい気持ちはあります。
Ys Oath of Felghana and Ys Origins are my favorites. Would love to see a Ys 5 remake in the style of them.
I don't think the Ys 8 style would work for Ys 1 and 2 because Adol is by himself.
the newer ones use so much flat colours, ys1 has more shading lol. how did music go from upbeat to slow??
They had something really good going on when Ys VIII had an anime opening with incredible music, why couldn't they do the same with Ys IX?!
They use all of the money for the ending lol
@@kiriyah7978 one bad move
i hope they remake ys 5 and bring it the west some day...

Ys II opening has the best theme. To make the end of battle!
I sincerely hope the lack of opening animation in Ys IX was because Falcom wants to save money for future Ys and Trails projects.
Ys X better be banging
Well yah, ys ix is their experimental, they know this game gonna be bad. So they save budget for next game using new engine.
Hahaha.... If Ys IX is bad, I can't imagine how shaken the gaming world would be if Falcom give us their best effort!
@Motoko Chan Ys IX is a good game, but it's definitely a step down from VIII. I suspected it was a funding issue, and several sources confirm this. I hope they get things sorted for X as well. Should be a milestone in the series.

Now I just realized Ys IX doesn't have an opening cinematic, what a shame.
Yeah. I was really looking forward to seeing it when I first popped it in. Shame they didn't have one :/
Pretty bad sign. If a series like Ys can't even muster an OP, they must have had NOOO money to spare.
@@masterxl97 The ending scene of Hajimari no Kiseki was just music too, no vocal song.

my fav Ys opening is from
YS1, YS origin, YS memories of celceta, Ys7, and YS8
18:27 personal best since the orchestra is dramatic also probably because its the first ys game i've ever played
a shame that ys x dont have an opening... falcom did not learn the mistake with ys IX
Sad that a video from 2017 yet it said (1987 - 2024) because Ys openings are no more :(
Ops of *Ys II, The Ark of Napishtim, Origin, SEVEN, Memories of Celceta and LoD* got me a lot

1.The Music
2.The music
3.The action
Olha > Tia
The opening of Ys 2 Eternal was created by Makoto Shinkai of "Your Name".
This area and song were creepier than I expected. Unkillable enemies, sunken ships, and this music makes for a good spook.
Wow, they had really amazing graphics in 1987.
Those 1&2 openings aren't 1987. They are from the early 2000s remake.
@@rust7973 Are you sure?
@@xnamkcor Just checked. It's from the 1997 remake called YS Eternal.
Yeah, I was expecting the OP from the PC-Engine/Turbo-Grafx version I played and loved...the animation wasn't that perfect yet, but effective
ys lacrimosa of dana
the opening feel sad than other series
*just my opinion
I just played 2 ys series: celceta and lacrimosa of dana
Played everything but Lacrimosa so far. I defeated last boss in Origin for Yunica but a bug kept the ending from plsying every time. Haven't cleared Ark of Naphistism cause my psp died before i could. Currently playing Memories of Celcetta....Damnit Falcom, you're burning through my wallet!
@@sufianramli if you have a ps2 get it for that system better graphics and opening for arc of nap
2:20 Legend of the Five Great Dragons : Ys 7 :0
Not quite.
It's actually "First Step Towards Wars" from Ys 1.
Why's Oath so quiet 🤔
・・・なぜだろ? イース2(どのシリーズだろうが関係なく)OPをみると、涙が・・・でてくる・・・。年をとったということだろうか・・・。(現在50)

some sora no kiseki vibes from ys1 opening with the harmonica
Just wondering… why do all imortals or goddess to be have blue or shades of blue hair in ys?
I have Ys Origin on Steam and ordered Ys IX Pact Edition for Switch this June. If this wasn't a sign to start playing the games, IDK what is for me.

VI is also great, can’t get enough of it

YS 8 Lacrimosa of Dana

Ys origin opening so amazing
Us memories of celceta was the first us game I have ever played
Kinda a shame Ys 9 doesn't have a opening.
Where is YS IV intro?
IV was replaced by Celceta which is the canon version
Man Adol holding his own against Estelle and Joshua claps
ARK OF NAPISHTIM ROCKS !
These are my favorite (openings, not games)
1. Ys II
2. Ys VII
3. Ys VIII
Sounds weird but i play wanderers from YS in the snes and I LOVE IT! That was my first YS and next was YS 6 Im weird i know it!
It was christmas at the millenium that I found this gem called ys vanished omen
Ys IV Dawn of Ys missing. Great video though.
Not canon
Why Ys9 has no opening? what is Falcom thinking? Falcom is unbelievable

ah those compilations when all the tracks have different audio volume
Wth why Ys seven slaps soo hard 💀💯
All openings from 1987 to 2020 but the video was posted in 2017? Hmmm....
2021 now

Ys IV
Ys lacrimosa
