Tracking the lineage of Ys: The Oath in Felghana can be more convoluted than the trying to figure out the various parentage combinations on your average day time soap opera. The game is a port of a PC game that was itself a retelling of a Ys game from the Super NES, Genesis and Turbo Grafx-16. Oh and it's also the second in a trio of games being rereleased on the PSP in reverse chronological order. Confused yet? If the notion of playing a port of a PC game or the idea of jumping midway into a trio of games makes you somewhat leery, don't be—Oath in Felghana provides plenty of accessible, fast paced action RPG combat that emphasizes using your blade and magical powers over reams of dialog and character progression.
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.
From Vampires to Mavericks to Blinky, Inky, Pinky and Clyde. Sony's PSP had a vast library of titles targeted towards retro gamers. Here, I take a look at ten fantastic remakes of classic games. Keep in mind that in order to be applicable for this list, the original games must have been released during the 16-bit era or earlier. Anyway, let's start this look back at some of the best retro remakes ever produced for portable play.
I own and have played almost every game on this list. All outstanding choices!
