Since Ys VI is getting good reviews and doing well on the shelves do yuo guys think that there is a chance of this game getting ported to the USA?

Konami of America hasnt said BOO yet whether its gonna release these remakes. It would be great to see 1-5 released on 1 DVD, then it would be the greatest anniversary collection ever next to megaman anniversary collection.

I was under the impression that Ys IV and V were gonna be CD. Anyhow, it could be a dual layered DVD.  |

I think there have been some dual layered, but I'm not sure. Either way, I think they'd need 2 or 3 DVD's for 1-5, but I could be wrong.

There have been many dual layered games out for the PS2. MGS2 Substance, Grand Turismo 4, Xenosaga, Kessen III, Champions of Norrath, The Guy Game, and a couple others.

Theoretically, yeah, but not very feasible. Have there actually been any dual-layered PS2 (game) DVDs? I'm not sure. The largest game I know of is FF10, and that's single-layered. Any PS2 game that is gold on the bottom is dual-layered. PS2 games have 3 colors on the bottom Blue: CD Silver: Single-layered DVD Gold: Dual-layered DVD. Gran Turismo 4 is the latest Dual Layered DVD. Metal Gear Solid 2: Son's of Liberty is single-layered, but MGS2: Substance (the rerelease of the game, is dual-layered). |

MGS2 was a DVD5 but MGS2 Substance is a DVD9. THe reason Xenosaga was a DVD9 is because the video is extremely high quality compared to DVD5 game video. When this blue laser technology comes out for the PS3, we will see some extreme high quality video which is why the blue laser can hold over 20GIGs on one disc.

Star Ocean 3 is on 2 DVD's. Not sure whether they're single or dual, though.

Star Ocean is two single-layerd DVDs. Duece, one reason Substance is dual-layered is all of the extra stuff that was added (like the Snake Skateboarding  and the Snake Tales). |

Whatever the amount of space or if its dual-layered, I just think they should seriously work on loading times for the games, b/c sometimes it just gets redilculous. I've especially had a few words with my TV when I've played Ys I&II eternal on PS2. Talking to Roda Tree, Loading a game, just entering houses, and so on.... I mean, what does it take to bump down the load time between these things?!?! I could understand a little with changing the music tracks, but, come on. I'm just one of those people who throughout life start getting a bit more impatient each day. I could deal with dial-up before i got a taste of DSL/Cable, now I curse the monitor whenever I see the dialing progress of my Netzero service that I just stop using it...(whoops) back on subject, don't stick it on one disc, stretch it with two or three discs, throw in some goodies, and put out an "anniversary" collection like that. The game should come to America, they've gotta do that if they're gonna import the other Ys titles. The Screenshots look a promising, considering its still under construction.

It's a nice dream to have, infact, I've probably dreamed about it at some point, but, it's just hard to say if they would actually do that. I'd say Konami & Working Designs are probably the most likely companies, or maybe that company that release R-type Final, the name escapes me. You can be sure, if WD did it, there would be extras, & even with the wait, I'd gladly wait for WD to do it. In the meantime, I ordered 3, & will probably get 4 & 5 as well.

I haven't seen much of Working Designs' work recently, but just out of curiosity Deuce, have you played their translation of Arc the Lad? It seems like a remarkably sober translation to me. Not at all like their previous translations. For that matter, they left the voice acting in Japanese, which was equally strange. Who knows? Maybe they've finally chosen to "grow up". Comparing it to the translations of Magic Knight Rayearth or Lunar, it almost doesn't seem like it could be the same translation team.

Thankfully, Working Designs won't touch the Ys series. The notion of bringing Ys I & II Eternal to the US was brought up to Victor Ireland in an interview... I don't recall his exact words, but he was very disdainful and basically said he had no use for it. This is a good thing. I'd rather the games never get translated than let WD get their butchering hands on them. Their translations are intolerable. I hate overly-literal translations, as most people here know by now, but WD's penchant for "accessorizing" the dialogue and adding in idiotic pop culture references is simply an atrocity. I sleep easy, knowing that they (in all their "wisdom") consider Ys to be beneath their notice. I was also very happy when I read that interview. I love WD's packages with all the extras. But the fact that their games come in such nice packages only makes it sader to know that they totally ruin every game with their horrible translations. |

Well, this is probably off topic, but are you talking about Arc the Lad Collection? I haven't tried it, but if the translation is decent, I should probably try to find it. The Arc the Lad-games have always seem interesting to me. Btw, I think WD's translation for Alundra was OK. But I played it a long time ago, so I'm not completely sure. At least I remember it was much better than the Lunar-translations. |

I haven't really noticed anything bad in WD's translations. I think some of their voice acting is excellent (MKR, for example - even though the voices are pretty "silly").

Yes, I like most of their voice acting too. But I don't like their so called "pop culture references". When someone in Lunar starts talking about the american president, well, I guess the illusion of being in another world or time is totally gone.  |

I just hate it when the translations aren't co-working with the character's personalities , really gives u the right to call Working designs a punch of unlogical fools  |

Well, when all is said and done, I love WD. And I don't recall Victor saying it was under him, I recall Sony saying they didn't want it. I remember WD actually thinking about releasing it over here, as well as NEC Interchannel.
Arc the Lad was tame indeed, but I love all there other stuff too, I have no problem with the pop culture reference's, & at the same time, I could do without them, it doesn't matter to me either way. I just want my games in english, as long as I understand the story. I mean, heck, I loved the reference to Guy Kazama in Lunar 2, that was a nice touch! And I love there voice acting as well. Even with all the changes they make in translation, I still can't understand all the hate some people have.
Maybe I'm blind, since, it's because of them, I got into RPG's at all. My true love for any RPG started with Cosmic Fantasy 2. I had played Ys 3 in Jp. already, not to mention the 2 Zelda's, but, CF 2 really got me into it. And Lunar ended up becoming 1 of my 3 favorite game series(along with Ys & Suikoden) ever. Just wish there was a Lunar 3.
But this is just all my opinion, & I probably never will understand the WD haters, but I don't hate the haters either.

Well, I guess that's why their called Working Designs, cuz they're still working on designing a better way to translate  |

That's what I've seen over at the Gamefaqs boards, people asking if there's other Ys games, cuz it sounds like there is!
