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.

Let’s break down how it all works.

How Do You Unlock New Game Plus?

Unlocking New Game Plus is the easy part, and functions much the same as every other game does.

Ys IX: Monstrum Nox, Ys Memories of Celceta and Ys Seven.

Slightly unusual, so bear that in mind.

if you’d like those carried over into a New Game Plus run.

What Changes In New Game Plus?

Ys Memoire the oath in felghana prompting you to create clear data to use for new game plus.

That’s not strictly the case in Oath in Felghana.

These points are not cumulative, but ratherbased on the highest difficulty level the game has been beaten at.

5 points

Inherit Armor Level and Expand Cap.

Retains the level you upgraded your armor to, and increases the upgrade cap from three to nine.

Inherit Status

These are your stats and levels, as well as many permanent increases given by Katol Elixirs.

Begin game with Dash ability

Gives you the ability to dash as soon as the game begins.

Triple-A Games

Magic usage down and Recovery up

Magic uses less of the MP bar, and it recovers even faster.

4 points

Boost Recovery rate up

Causes your Boost meter to charge more quickly.

You still need to find and buy them, they will just keep their level when you do.

Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana

Only after beating the game on Inferno would you be able to activate every bonus at once.
