Announced in the vein of the new Ys X, this is an HD remaster of PSP's Ys: The Oath in Felghana, which itself if a remake of original Ys III. This new version has a bunch of new features, such as HD visuals, new voiced cutscenes and new moder character portraits, which you can also switch to the original art. Soundtrack is also remastered. This remaster is currently scheduled to be released in 2023 in Japan, for Nintendo Switch.

Third parties not making multiplatform games. Makes total sense.

 

[Graciaus]

I would need to see more pictures but the refine version just looks a more modern anime style.

 

[Meicyn]

Oath in Felghana is still my favorite Ys game. Soundtrack is god tier. Will buy if it ships on PS5.

 

[Nautilus]

Falcom finally learning some business sense. Its just a remaster of an old game, but still.

Hope it does well. It has a chance now at least, considering that it isn't bound to Playstation anymore.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Never played Oath of Felghana so this is great news. I hope Falcom ports Ark of Napishtim too. That game definitely needs a HD remaster. It's too good to be stuck on PS2.

Hopefully it comes out to the west not long after, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

 

[John Bilbo]

The Switch is region free, but you'd miss the dialogue. I hope it will release in the west also

 

[BennyBlanco]

Hopefully they put it on Steam when it comes west

 

[Woopah]

They are probably doing this as a method for training their teams up on Switch development (which they are doing very very late). I'd expect 2 more Switch exclusive remasters to come soon, and then they can make all their mainline games PlayStation/Switch, like they are doing with Ys X.

The hardest Ys game I've played. Had to watch some boss fights on YouTube as a tutorial after getting annihilated for several hours and not knowing how I'm supposed to survive.

10/10

My bet would be 'no' since XSeed handled the translations for Falcom games at the time, but Origin did come to the Switch (from publisher DotEmu, apparently). Would be nice if it came though. Felghana is my absolute favorite Falcom game and maybe my favorite action game ever.

Soundtrack is also remastered.

Wait, again? Oath in Felghana's OST is already arranged from Wanderers from Ys'. Or is this just a cheeky way to technically advertise a soundtrack that had already been updated 15 years ago. Jindo's arrangements in Oath are already fucking fantastic (and some of his best work). Last thing I want is Singa butchering Ishikawa and Kawaii's tracks too.

 

[Silver Wattle]

The remastered pics look barely any different from the "classic" pictures, this is just an obvious cash grab.

 

[FStubbs]

Has Falcom literally ever published a Nintendo exclusive before? That's actually shocking.

 

[BouncyFrag]

Enjoyed it on vita.

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

Will be getting this day one on Switch when it comes out here in the west

Remaster of a remake

In 10 years we're gonna have remasters of remakes of remasters of remakes.

I'm fine with that

My first was Ys 8, so I really hope that every single one of them gets a rerelease.

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

And what about remakes of remasters of remakes of remasters?

I'm fine with that

Ys V was originally Nintendo exclusive.

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

You just want the waifus, you don't even know what the game is about

Admit it, I know it

NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt 's avatar is Musse. You already knew this to be true. (Not a bad pick btw)

 

[cireza]

Indeed. Same as in 2020, 2021 and 2022.

 

[manzo]

That's nice, will buy. Our Switch is a dedicated Mario Kart machine, nice to play something else on it every now and then.

Someone in the boardroom finally piped up with, "hey, anybody hear about this new-fangled Switch thing?"

 

[darrylgorn]

 

[Teslerum]

Gotta say, whenever Falcom does a remake I always tend to like the older artstyle more.

New ones just look like the blandest anime.

I want every old JRPG to be Remastered

Day 1, please come to NA

Old JRPGs belong in a museum

You're taking this too far

This is the only Ys game I've played so far and the bosses seemed quite reminiscent of a Souls game to me. The music is excellent and I saw that it's done by their band.
The Ys games after this look very different. More like the Tales series.

"I heard its popular with the kids!"
