In celebration of the series’ 25-year history, XSEED Games have today announced the launch of their action RPG title, Ys: Memories of Celceta on the Playstation Vita. Ys: Memories of Celceta is an extensive reimagining of Ys IV, one of the few titles in the acclaimed series’ long-running history never to be released outside of Japan. This title is not just a mere port, but has been re-worked from the ground up by the team at Nihon Falcom and the framework of the story has been updated to create a more intriguing tale filled with mystery and distrust.
Ys: Memories of Celceta revolves around the Ys series stalwart hero, Adol Christin, who awakens on the outskirts of the Great Forest of Celceta with no memory of how he got there. Soon, Adol finds himself beginning a new journey with an unknown companion as they delve into the forest on a quest to explore its vast expanses, searching for clues to his identity along the way.
Two editions of this title are now available on the market – the standard edition which is available at both retailers and through the Playstation Store for $39.99, and the Ys: Memories of Celceta Silver Anniversary Edition available for an extra $20. This Limited Edition release contains a 3-CD collection of original and arranged music spanning the entire history of the franchise, a cloth map detailing the lands of Celceta, a logo-emblazoned compass, and ‘Adol’s Travel Journal’ containing 130 pages of adventuring strategies and artwork, all within an exclusive commemorative package.
