I actually disagree about the Taito remakes. I think the music was very good....ALOT better than the Ys eternal music was when that was remade. And as for the PC Engine system, IMO it is the best system ever produced (the Duo that is).

I believe the PC Engine was functionally a dead system by '95, when Ys V was released. Actually, there were still games coming out in Japan, till about 97 for the PC Engine, not to mention the last release in 99, so, I don't see any reason why they couldn't of. I guess Hudson just didn't acquire the rights or something.

I guess that could prove something.

I'm a nut for Monster World 4. It holds up so well even now! Just lovely and funny, and gorgeous to look at. Thought her name was Asa? Cannot remember. Was this the WestOne site you guys were talking about? : WestOne.co.jpLooks halfway legit to me. Little watered down. Little bland. And the newsletter posted is over a year old. Nyeh. I guess you must be right about them being gone, but not from our hearts.

Deuce, (not trying to make an issue, I apologize if this comes off as know it allism, etc)what I mean is, the big companies, like NEC Avenue released Madou Monogatari(Story of Magicroad I think) aka the Puyo Puyo RPG in 1996, Hudson Soft released Seiya Monogatari aka Anearth Fantasy Stories at the end of 1995, which was a big expensive game, NEC Home Electronics released Dead of the Brain 1 & 2 in 1999, Ane-San was released by NEC Avenue in 1995, as well as Asuka 120%, Dragon Knight & Graphitti, Human released Fire Pro Female Wrestling & Formation Soccer 95, Hudson released Galaxy Fraulein Yuna 2, Sapphire in limited numbers, Kabuki Itouryodan, Falcom released Legend of Xanadu 2, all of these in 1995, & there's a bunch more. The same year that Ys 5 came out for SFC. Infact, 1995 was probably one of, if not the, biggest year for Hudson releasing games for the PC Engine, not to mention both NEC Home Electronics, & NEC Avenue. The PC Engine was selling after the SFC stopped selling, even with their lame support of the PC-FX, they we're still making games for the PCE, so, unless the PC Engine market was totally dead in Japan, I'd say atleast thru the end of 95 was an incredible year for the PCE. So why Hudson never did Ys 5, we still don't really know, we can't just assume there was no marketability. There still might be some half proto laying around of Ys 5 for all we know, but we don't know. Maybe someday we'll find out, one way or the other, because frankly, I really want to know, if it was ever attempted, or even thought of, or not. I want the answer from Falcom, so I can rest easy at night(figure of speach .

Not that it really matters, but YsV was released in the very end of 1995, with Ys V EXPERT released in march 1996.
Also, Falcom seemed to get away from Hudson after The Dawn of Ys. Popful Mail SFC - independent, The Legend of Xanadu II - independent, YsV - independent, etc.

Yeah, it does seem like they got away from Hudson, even Legend of Xanadu 1 was published by NEC, rather then Hudson, with the 2nd being published solely by themselves. But, they did do LOX 2, so, it's intersting they didn't bother trying to do Ys 5. Sheesh, reminds me I wish someone would translate the LOX's, I've already beaten the 2nd one, but, it'd be nice to play it in english. Nightwolve actually mentioned to me recently that he'd actually like to do the 2nd one, but, it sounds like he might be helping with getting the Far East of Eden's translated, which is still cool, I've always wanted to play those in english as well.........now that I'm totally off topic

Well, they probably didn't make one for PC Engine because it couldn't handle the graphics. It'd require hard work to make new graphics entirely for the PC Engine. Not to mention, YsV does use a LOT of graphics. Also, I don't think YsV sold that well, so Falcom probably didn't think it'd be such a good idea to work on yet another version of YsV.

Not to mention the PC version was canned, if it existed. Yeah, I suppose if they didn't want Hudson to do it, it would've been difficult for them to do multiple versions themselves.

How are you going to make it (if you ever do), a copy of the SNES or a different one for the PCE? As a copy or port it will not work it has to bee unique for the counsel, something that has not bin dun on it before. I’m thinking an isometric like landstalker or light crusader. Button 1 can be jump, pressing 2 attack and holding it shield. SELECT options and RUN magic, and taping D to run, just an idea. Even though the PCE has a smaller color pallet, it has a larger resolution (352x242) that can be used for sharper graphics and better dithering, to compensate for the pallet size. Even so look at Xanadu2, at 256x224 it looked a little similar to Ys5. With good pixel art skills (and grate programming) almost anything can be dun. Look at Pixeljoint.com

Wait! I remember that GS said something about this before! An Ys V remake with isometric perspective, like Landstalker!

Sort of off-topic here but seeing Adol's face with a name of Alucard underneath it is sort of .... strange.
Very unfitting. ^^;;;;

I thought the same thing when I made my earlier post! I think that member disappeared almost immediately after coming here.

Yeah, I figure that if it ever happened, it would look alot like LOX2. One of our tile guys(Lord Cack) has recently made some tiles, that look fantastic, & have an Ys 5/LOX2 look to them.

Here's an example of the tiles he made for...who knows what at this point, maybe for his game Messianic, or, maybe for Neutopia 3

That's pretty! (in response to your Aug 11, 2005 post) Man, I'm tempted to attempt a remake of Faxanadu as well since that was the original intent (not the muse) of my current project, mua ha ha... of course, that's *when* I finish my project; even then, it won't be a competition. (or so I hope not; I'd be straying from the formula ala Ys III to OiF, and would gladly share notes with your team to avoid conflicting remakes. Otherwise, I will cease my project or put it on hold until your efforts are recognized) At any rate, your team appears rather capable and I will be waiting to see the end result of your efforts in the future.

I don't know when, & if we'lll ever get to remake Faxanadu. So, go ahead & make your own. I think, of any game I want to remake for the Turbo first, would be the original Contra, I have some neat idea's for that one. My plan for Faxanadu is much grander in scale then my plan for Contra.
