Ys: Memories of Celceta - Timeless Adventurer - PlayStation 4

Wonder how many people in their late 40's enjoy playing PS games.....I'm one of them. I was in Japan and was 14 when I first played YS 1 & 2, then followed by YS4, which is the original of this game on NEC CD-ROM2 platform.I bought PS4 in April 2020, only to play FF7R (blew my mind.....it was more of a movie than a video game; the CG was insanely detailed). All these years I had other priorities and was away from playing video games, but as things have settled I am back in the gig.Although I haven't finished it yet, this game is extremely addictive. On my weekend, I found myself playing it until 4am, because the story & music just wouldn't let me put down the controller. This is a serious remake of YS4 and Falcom did a great job. There are aspects in this game that seem to have inspired FF7R, like taking up people's chores and receiving rewards.The movie is rather very poor quality, like PS1 polygon kind of, and the forests' sceneries are very similar from one location to another (changes once you're in a different region), making me confused and circling at the same spot. Also, not sure if it's only me but there is only one saving spot and I almost accidentally deleted it once (40+ hours of effort).One thing I find amusing is that while the Wanderer (Adol) & Duren the big guy are knocked out by a group of enemies, this 12 year-old grade school girl is beating the hell out of enemies with a hammer. I use Japanese voice but there seems no Japanese text, which is fine but sometimes the original message cannot be conveyed accurately and the English used in this game is too formal & boring, as compared to FF7R, which is more realistic.I'll update once I complete it, but at the moment (map completion is 99.5%.....where's that 0.5% !?) I am yet to judge verdict.PS: I once applied for a position at Falcom (back then it was Nihon Falcom) in Tachikawa, Japan (west of Tokyo). Had an interview directly with the CEO Kato, with long grey hair resembling a samurai. Back then, Falcom was but a very small company.

I had purchased this a while back on the Vita (largely for the double soundtrack), but I was unable to play it since my since my Vita broke. When I saw this became available on the PS4, I knew I had to have it, especially since I prefer to play on consoles with the large screen. While this addition does not provide as many physical extras as on the Silver Anniversary Vita version, it is cheaper, and has a few nice extras. It even comes with a color instruction manual!I am huge fan of the original game on the Turbografx-16 and just finished replaying Ys Books I & II on the Turbografx Mini. I am having a blast with Memories of Celceta as XSeed and Falcom did a really nice of updating the game play while still retaining some of the classic details that make this series so unique. Only a few hours in, but loving every minute of it! I would highly recommend this to fans of the Y Series! If you have never played an Ys game, this story stands on its own and is a pretty an enjoyable role playing game as there are multiple characters to play, plenty of dungeon-crawling, and a bit of crafting for variety.

If you haven’t played a Y’s game this is your opportunity. Great place to jump into the series even if you haven’t played any past entries. This game is really fun even if it’s just a Vita port with full HD and 60FPS. Great game that I’ve completed multiple times and love the fact I get to comeback to it on PS4!

If you're looking for an action-packed adventure that will take you to new heights, then Ys: Memories of Celceta is a game you should not miss. This game takes you on a journey filled with mystery, magic, and incredible battles that will keep you on the edge of your seat.One of the standout features of this game is the combat system. It's fast-paced, fluid, and requires strategic thinking to overcome the various enemies and bosses you'll encounter. Each character has a unique set of skills and abilities, allowing for diverse playstyles that cater to your preferences.The story is also captivating and takes you through a world filled with danger and intrigue. The characters you meet along the way are diverse and fleshed out, each with their own motivations and backstory. You'll explore ruins, forests, and mountains, all while uncovering the secrets of the land of Celceta.The graphics and sound design are top-notch, with stunning visuals and an incredible soundtrack that enhances the overall experience. The attention to detail in the world-building is exceptional, making every location feel unique and memorable.One thing to note is that this game does have a bit of a learning curve, particularly when it comes to mastering the combat system. But with practice and persistence, it becomes incredibly satisfying to take down even the toughest foes.Overall, Ys: Memories of Celceta is a timeless adventure that will leave you spellbound. Whether you're a fan of action RPGs or just looking for an immersive gaming experience, this game is a must-play. Highly recommended!

Todo bien rápido y con calidad

This is a remastered version of the PS Vita game. The gameplay is the same as YS 8 which is perfect combination of action and rpg.Soundtrack is excellent which is something every YS game have in common.I recommend it while waiting for the localization of Ys 9.Soundtrack, artwork, booklet included in the game.

If you are a fan of the series, this game won't dissapoint you. Don't let the dated graphics put you off. And lets face it, you never came for the graphics on a Falcom game, the story is what counts, and its great !

Very nice edition. All the Ys game are simply amazing!

Si eres fan de la saga YS, ¡no lo dudes y ordénalo!, son juegos de tiraje limitado y después es muy difícil conseguirlos.Esta edición incluye varios extras como soundtrack, postales y caja especial (en mi caso llegó impecable a pesar de venir en sobre) y algo que creía extinto, el juego tiene manual a todo color. ¡Genial!En cuanto al juego, es un remaster de un juego de PS Vita, así que, no esperes grandes mecánicas o gráficos, el apartado donde más se resiente es en los controles. Sin embargo, no por ello deja de ser un juego súper divertido y contar otra fabulosa aventura de Adol.Si nunca has jugado un juego de la saga YS, esta es una magnífica oportunidad para hacerlo, no necesitas haber jugado ningún título anterior para disfrutarlo.
