I am not even sure how many different games there are in these two series, but they are my latest collecting craze. I remember Ys on the TurboDuo long ago, over at a friend's place. It more than anything has made me jump into PC-Engine games. As for Far East Of Eden, what really got me going on that series was the fighter installment on Neo-Geo, Kabuki Klash/Tengai Makyou Shinden.
Any other fans of these two series? Anyone know of any good databases regarding either one?
the ys pc games are supposed to be comin' out here in......the near future i guess.
- Soul Blazer (SNES)
- Sword of Vermilion (Genesis)
- Exile (Duo)
- Popful Mail!!!
I love Ys and the soundtrack esp Dark Fact theme. As for Far East of Eden I'd love to try some of them out but I iamgine the language barrier is high.
the language barrier can't be high on the Neo Geo Fighter, or the PC-cinema fighter on. . . the PC-FX? I'd like to see that one.
Aren't Illusion of Gaia and Terranigma pseudo-sequels to that game?Quote:

Yes on both counts. I can't believe that Falcom hasn't made Y's VI. What the hell else are they doing? Maybe the PC remakes are their way of reintroducing the series.
As for Tengai Makyo, I think the last game in that series was the fighter on Neo Geo. A really cool series, but I couldn't direct you to any specific good sites.
Red is supposedly working on a GBA Far East of Eden and Hiroi Ouji said that they would go back and finish Namida (part III) someday. Also, I wrote a quick and dirty FAQ for the first game that can be found in gamefaqs.com's Turbo CD section.
Not sure if Strider was addressing you or not but yes, they're both sequels. I've only played Terranigma out of the three though, so I don't know how connected they are.Quote:

I was referring to the fact that both Y's & TM need new installments, but yeah, they're both sequels.
10 systems, fifteen years.
And still they refuse to make a new single-player game.
Phantasy Star.
he shousama i had heard some vague rumor about tengai gba,
do you have more info? apocalypse was very good but
i do hope it's back to zipang this time
the one that needs to be finished is namida , but i don't think it will ever see the light of day, too good to be true, or they will ruin
it by going 3D..
I second Exile needing a new installment. I never played the turbo one, but I know the infamous stories of WOrking Designs fucking up the difficulty so much they had to release an invincibility code to beat it. I had the genesis version, but the battery was fucked, so I had to beat it in one sitting.
I'd just like to chime in and say that y's 4 is being transalated by fans
Thanks for the answers, folks. I have a new copy of Tangai Makyou Ziria on the way, and it will hopefully be here today. It should have been here Monday. :(
Far east of eden zero(SNES) is also being transalated. Those of you who dont like playing games via emu will miss out :(
I already own the original SuperFamiCom version, so I have no problem with using an emulator to play it in Engrish.Quote:

Patience. Phantasy Star V is almost definitely en route. :)Quote:

Yeah thats what I meant. I have a thread on the SNES version.
It is rumored Konami is bringing out a Tengai Makyou game here in the US, I hope it's Tengai Makyou III :)
Plus the new Y's game was at Konami's booth... go Konami! :D
I'd love to find out that the third part of gelden sun is going to be made. But it never will.
Hah, that's cool. I've been waiting to see a Tengai Makyou game released stateside.
... well, Kabuki Klash sorta counts.

It's one of the best 32-bit RPGs you can find and the best game in the series. The style, characters, humour, animation sequences are Red's best moment. And surprisingly cheap in ebay auctions.
Ys The Ark of Napishtm (sp) is on it's way over here later this year, Konami had a demo of it over at their E3 booth. It has kind of a generic action/RPG vibe to it, but, hell, it's Ys and I'll buy it anyway :)
Star Tropics needs another game in the series
