The Ys series remains a popular, but well-kept secret in the JRPG game world.
Here’s how every game fits into the series' timeline.
Is Adol The Main Character In Every Ys Game?
The first step in understanding the Ys games, is in understanding Adol Christin, our red-haired protagonist.
In fact, Adol is the only playable character in many of the games.
And that is mostly the case.
This is not, however, always true.
In Ys Origin, released in 2006, we see a world long before Adol Christin.
Since then however, be it mainline or spin-off, Adol has appeared as the main character.
Just not always in chronological order.
How Many Ys Games Are There?
This isn’t an exact number, as many of the remakes have also been remade.
To that end, we are counting the original games, and then the most current remake of them.
So approximately 17 games.
The storylines of both these games was combined with Ys: Memories of Celceta, another enhanced remake.
Is Every Ys Game Part Of The Same Story?
eSo that leads us to the big question: are all the Ys games a single continuity?
However, the game’s don’t actually follow a single plot.
In that regard, they are more akin to an anthology series.
There are some exceptions, though.
Ys I and II are direct sequels.
So probably not the best starting point.
The Oath In Felghana’s New Game Plus works a little differently than you might be used to.
Here’s everything it’s crucial that you know.
