A stand-alone version of the war between Iraq and the Soviet Union "Ys"

Atru Christian, a young adventurer with red hair who is obsessed with the ancient legend of "the land of Izu", crossed the sea blocked by the enchantment to the former site of Izu-Estella, and met Fina, a woman with amnesia, and Leia, a minstrel. Under the guidance of the soothsayer Sarah, Atlu began to collect six legendary "Izu Books" and embarked on an adventure in Astaria, where Warcraft frequently appeared. ...

Ys, which takes zai as the original case of the game, attracted countless game lovers as soon as it came out. Of course, the record of Ys in the history of PC games is not as simple as "many fans": 1987, the birth of Ys created the classic of Japanese ARPG.

Ys takes "affinity" as the core, conveying a brand-new game concept: no longer emphasizing the difficulty of game operation, but still maintaining the maneuverability of excitement; The game screen is simple and fresh; The plot length is just right; Simple system parameters; The file setting is thoughtful; Music and combat system break through the mode ... the game always considers the problem from the player's standpoint, and at the same time fully reflects the fun of the game. This is a clear-cut challenge to the game trend that flaunts playability with high difficulty and flaunts quality with large-capacity gorgeous pictures and grand storylines.

The status of PC version of Ys is already like this, and Ys after transplanting home computers is more prestigious. FC, MD, SFC, PC-E, SS…… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

1April 988 YS2—-ancient YSvanized ~ final chapter ~ (PC-880 1)

(Reference: Izu 2- The Lost Ancient Country of Izu ~ Final Chapter ~)

Synopsis: Atalu, who collected six Books of Yi Su, was sent to a haunted place by powerful forces. After being rescued by Lilia, a girl from Guangming Village, Atlu launched a new round of adventure in the air mainland. Fina and Leia are actually the twin goddesses who created Izu! The history of the ancient Yisu kingdom, the Six Gods and the "Black Pearl" gradually surfaced. ...

The birth of Ys2 was a great success. Almost all kinds of PC game awards have been won, popularity snowballed, and follow-up games also appeared. Falcom's golden age reached its climax. In addition to following the elegant style and game system of Ys 1, Ys2 also added magic elements and more game scenes, which enriched the operability of the game and successfully echoed the previous work to build a complete Ys worldview, making the epic story background unobstructed. The game soundtrack is regarded as a classic together with the previous work.

Therefore, the first two works of Ys are a perfect match and indispensable. The PC-E migration mentioned above is a set of 1+2. The PC-E version produced and distributed by Hudson has greatly increased the charm of Ys with its powerful sensory expression, and is called the "highest masterpiece" of Ys transplant version.

The latter three parts developed in twists and turns, but they never got out of the shadow of the first two parts.

1July, 988 YS3—-Wanderer from YS (PC-880 1)

(Reference: Yisu 3- Adventurer from Yisu) Up! ! Ys3 is a work that spreads to the outside world, and its game style completely jumps out of the mode of the previous two generations of Ys: the picture changes from overlooking the map to moving along the horizontal axis, and various action elements are added to the combat system. Although the richness of operability and the meticulous performance of horizontal screen are the highlights of Ys3, the system reform and style conversion have caused the polarization of players' evaluation, and the world outlook and plot setting are not as attractive as the previous works. In other words, the Ys3 revolution was not successful. Gossip: It is said that the program part of Ys3 was developed by the production team of Falcom's magician (Seven Star Magician, horizontal ARPG game). It can probably explain the root cause of style differences.

Synopsis: This book follows the story lines of the first two films of Ys, and continues to tell that Atru left Astaria and came to Selcer Tower in order to unveil it.

An adventure to bring the mystery of the "sun mask" to prosperity.

Ys4 is probably the most tortuous one in the whole series at present: at that time, Falcom planned to put Ys4 into the console market and decided to launch it on three popular consoles, namely SFC, PC-E and MD, so it only made the original Ys4 game and handed it over to several other companies for production. Even today, no company dares to try such a bold plan. In the end, the MD version stopped developing, and only the SFC version of Tokyo House and the PC-E version of Hudson were successfully sold. Due to Falcon's active decentralization, both companies have played their respective roles in their respective Ys4. The SFC version can basically be faithful to Falcon's original case, while the plot of PC-E version has many contradictions with the original case. Although the PC-E version is owned by the famous Hudson, not only the game has excellent sensory effects, but also the production lineup is quite luxurious, but Falcom's recognized position is still inclined to the honest SFC version. However, in any case, Ys4 is still in an awkward position without the original work. Ys4 has returned to the system mode of the first two parts of Ys in terms of system, and the plot has also roughly inherited the first two parts, and further explained and extended the world view of Izu, but the plot evaluation of extending the world view is general, and even dubbed as "indigestion". At that time, all kinds of masterpieces were hitchhiking with PC-Engine and SFC. Compared with classic masterpieces such as Final Fantasy and Legend of the Sword, Ys4 obviously lacked stamina.

PS: In 2005, when Oto transplanted the PS2 version of Ys4, he made another big change to the plot. However, since Ys4 doesn't have the original F club, even fans who want to maintain the original plot can't exert pressure. Falcom can only passively listen to the "new theory" of Ys4 in PS2 version.

1995 65438+February YS 5- Lost Kefen, Kingdom of Sand (SFC)

(Reference translation: Yisu 5- The Lost Capital of Shakaifen) Up! ! Synopsis: Three years after the end of Astaria's adventure, Atlu came to Africa and Canada, where the mystery of the "magic capital" was hidden, and launched another round of adventure to uncover the mystery of the mysterious ancient capital that disappeared in the desert. ...

The first and last game developed by Falcom for SFC mainframe. Ys5 once again made a new attempt to the story style and system. The combat system integrates the action mode of Ys3 and adds alchemy magic, while the soundtrack is a symphony, which completely subverts the electro-acoustic rock style of the previous generation. The change of Ys5, like Ys3, has attracted controversy from some players. At the same time, influenced by the wave of 3D games, SFC consoles began to decline, and the market was mostly seized by popular works. The circulation and sales volume of Ys5 are far from those of that year.

Gossip: The original case of Ys5 was shot by Masayoshi Hayakawa, the "father of Kakabu". Fans of the British biography series may be able to feel a little bit of English biography from Ys5. -Windows copy version is popular.

After investigating the brilliant performance of Ys3-5, Falcom turned its attention to the Windows platform.

1998 April Ys 1 ~ Eternity ~ (Eternity Isu 1, Windows)

("ys1"Windows Portable Edition) Up! !

In the middle and late 1990s, Falcom, which was on the edge of the golden age, gradually declined due to the strong impact of the PC game market and the strategic mistakes in moving to the PC market. After 1996, Falcon gave up the dead-end PC98 market, and successively copied three old masterpieces, namely the legend of heroes, The Magician of the Seven Stars and Your Majesty, on the emerging Windows platform. However, due to excessive adherence to the original appearance of the game and other reasons, the response is very dull. By 1997, Falcon's operation was quite depressed. In this year, Falcom last stand transplanted Ys 1, which was produced before 10, to the Windows platform, and named it Ys Eternal (Eternal Isu, translated as "Eternal Isu" in China).

Drawing lessons from the first three re-enactment games, YsE reinterprets the first version of Ys with a brand-new look, making the picture as detailed as possible and retaining the original flavor of Ys to a great extent. Some plots are supplemented and modified, and the plot and dialogue of the transplanted version Ys 1 are modified. In terms of system, YsE boldly follows the "collision" combat setting of the first edition, which is worthy of being a "eternal edition" replica edition adhering to the affinity of the first edition. In addition, Minako Iwasaki's elegant people also add a lot of color to the game.

After the listing of YsE, it received an unexpected strong response. The inflammatory propaganda word of "Resurrection of Famous Ys" alone is enough to excite senior Ys fans who are already parents. YsE gives more people the opportunity to contact or relive the once brilliant old works, which promotes the popularity of Ys to heat up again, and therefore Falcom gets rid of the burden of sluggish operation at this stage.
