PS Vita Reviews recently went back to take a look at the Ys PSP games. Having already been through Chronicles, they have just finished up Oath in Felghana. With that, here are their final thoughts on the game, from the perspective of the PS Vita and PlayStation TV:
"Ys III came back to the gaming world as Oath in Felghana on the PC as well as the PSP in style. On the downside, the game has some awkward control combinations and the presentation was degraded on the transition to the Vita. However, this is the version with the most content and offers a lot of fun and fast battles. Any Action RPG or Ys fan should definitely give it a try. "
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "The PSP was blessed with multiple entries and this support continued onto the Vita, with remakes, ports, and a brand new title releasing over the course of the handheld’s life. It made the franchise a perfect choice for this series of articles, because although the series' future definitely isn’t on Sony’s handhelds at this point, it still had some brilliant representation over the past 12 years.
So in this article I’ll be looking back at a history of the franchise on Sony’s handhelds, from its origins on the PSP right through the latest release on Vita, with an emphasis on the quality of the ports to the handhelds as well as any sales figures that are available, alongside a conclusion of how well the franchise has done on the platforms."
Oath at Fhelgana, Seven, Memories of Celceta and Lacrimosa of Dana are amazing games. I adore the Ys series, and Adol is one of my favorite JRPG characters ever.
TC:" The entries of the Ys series Ys I & II Chronicles, Ys: The Oath In Felghana and Ys Origins are now available for reduced prices on GOG."
SuperPhillip Central writes, "There are sometimes top ten lists that write themselves. You can easily select ten items and bestow them with an order no sweat. This is one of those lists that was incredibly arduous to pick from the hundreds of JRPGs that had the most marvelous final boss themes to them. Still, we overcame the struggle of selecting ten themes from ten games and just ten, and we pretty much reached a compromise among staff. This list contains what we deem the best final boss battle themes in JRPG history. If you think we left out any good ones (which we most likely did with only ten picks out of hundreds of games), please let us know in the comments section below.
Also, it's important to note that we've tried to limit the amount of spoilers in this article, but you should still tread carefully. We mostly talk about older games, but there are a couple more recent titles that you may not have been able to play yet. In that case, we don't show the final boss's picture."
Phantasy Star IV!
One of the most epic JRPG final bosses!
Grand Cross!!!!!!!!!!
Of course there is my fight with Freaking Kefka in Final Fantasy VI!
I love that Pokemon made it into this. They had great battle music back in the day.
I cant disagree with you. But it will forever be overlooked for one reason, b/c SE somehow forgot that better graphics do not mean u have to change everything. We want more of what we love!!
Just looking at this list, which is amazing, makes me want more really good console jrpgs. Ni No Kuni proved that u can use this new tech to make an amzing jrpg. They dont all have to be niche portable games.
I played one on SNES and one on Vita. Pretty good. Not great but good. I'd take a crack at another on Vita.
This one is pretty hard, the last boss will burn your thumbs off.
Will probably play. Celceta was a really generic experience, but at least I can say it was pretty well polished.
This game is absolutely amazing. Hard but amazing. Anyone interested in JRPGs play this game but be ready for a challenge.
