this looks great, and it looks like enough is in english to be able to play.

This looks good. I remember playing this on my Master System all those years ago.
Can't wait for an English release.

YAY! Y's!

How about making a new on for once hey falcom?

Looks like they used assets from Ark of Napishtim (PSP/PS2)

Ark of Naphistim is really Ys 6, and it was released for Windows in Japan some years ago. A little later Konami did a half-assed job at porting it to the PS2, and a really bad job in porting it to the PSP. The latest new Ys game by Falcom themselves was released a little over a year ago and is called Ys Origin and is also for Windows.

Oh and yay for this release! Love Ys

Ys COMPLETE (or Ys ETERNAL, pick one!) with changes:
*A new dungeon (which changes how the events after the Shrine play out)
*A new set of equipment that is weaker than the Silver Set, but stronger than Talwarl + Large Shield + Reflex
- Defender (+32 STR)
- Ruby Shield (+30 DEF)
- Mithril Mail (+30 DEF)
*Removal of Bestiary Potion (At least, it is not where it used to be, and I never found it in the game at all)
*Addition of the Roda Tree Leaves (I never used them in the game either, so dunno if they were for anything)
*New boss for the new dungeon, Petrorex
*Normal Control or Touch Screen Control (Left Hand / Right Hand)
Normal:
D-Pad = Movement
A/Y = Attack
B (Hold) = Run
X = Use Item
R = Trigger Always Walk or Always Run
Start = Menu
Select = Options
- Change Control Type
- Return to Title

Touch Screen:
Stylus Controls Everything (run into monsters to attack, like the old days)
D-Pad UP//X = Use Item (Left Handed uses X, Right Handed uses UP. Also, moving around in the Menu is Y for Left and A for Right if you are left handed, otherwise D-Pad Left and Right for Right Handed)
Start = Menu
Select = Options
- Change Control Type
- Return to Title

Everything else is pretty much the same I suppose.
