In 1993, two Ys IV games were released: "Mask of the Sun" for the Super Famicom and "The Dawn of Ys" for the PCE Super-CD Rom. Both never saw a western release, but there were fans of the series that translated the game. I tried the Super Famicom (Super Nintendo) version and did not like it. Ys 3 had gone an entirely different route by going 2D-Action style combat while Ys 4 went back to the original bumper car mechanics. Thankfully the remake for Ys 4 will take what the remakes of the Ys series has done and add even more to it than ever before. Rather than a top-down view, Ys: Memories of Celceta will have a dynamic camera angle where it switches between top-down, behind the character, and so forth for a more involving experience. Aside from just taking the role of Adol Christin (the main protagonist in the series), the player will also get to use other characters within a party. The game has already released in Japan so there are gameplay videos up that can be watched. It looks like the player can actively block and dodge now! As excited as I am for this new installment in the Ys series, I lament the fact that I don't have a PS Vita. We can thank XSEED Games once again for bringing another awesome title from Japan over to the West.
The game will release exclusively for the Sony PS Vita on September 24, 2013.
