  1. Ys: Memories of Celceta is fun and pretty straightforward for a JRPG. These characters don’t have explosions of personal growth, mostly sticking to their given roles in Adol’s tale. Russell’s original review did note frame rate issues which are no longer a problem in the PS4 port. That 60fps is the best quality of life update the game could ask for. Do yourself a favor, head back to the Great Forest and discover the secrets within over your summer break.
  2. It’s been seven years since we first saw Ys: Memories Of Celceta but this PS4 remaster proves a welcome return for Nihon Falcom’s juggernaut franchise. Bringing us real-time combat, an enjoyable storyline packed with humour and appealing visuals, Ys is a must-have for JRPG fans. Whilst there’s no new content for those who previously beat it, MOC remains a thoroughly enjoyable title and, old fan or new, comes strongly recommended.

    Music is repetitive, maps go on for way way way too long 90 percent of the game at least is traveling a to b over and over and over andMusic is repetitive, maps go on for way way way too long 90 percent of the game at least is traveling a to b over and over and over and fighting the same overly aggro'd enemies over and over and over, the story is boring and senseless, the maps are boring and senseless, worst Ys game ever made. also the difficulty is all over the place.

    Y's games are not for everyone. The unique style of these fast paced action RPGs often go underrated. I'ts unfair to leave the work of NihonY's games are not for everyone. The unique style of these fast paced action RPGs often go underrated. I'ts unfair to leave the work of Nihon Falcon Unnoticed everytime, and thisnspecific game is a great start for anyone interested in medieval fantasy games. The most interesting feature is the combat system. Very appealing, responsive dynamic and fun. The music is outstanding as always and the story has a neat topic: the akashik records.

    People should give this game a go at least one. Tjey may fall in love with the amazing protagonist, Adol Christi and may even play the masterpiece that is Lacrimosa of Dana: Ys VIII
