In all that I've read about the games, seems everyone thinks the titles of the first two are engrishy and/or make no sense considering the existance of the later ones. Yet it seems to me more like a parsing error. Consider:
Ancient Ys Vanished: Omens aka Ys I Ancient Ys Vanished: The Final Chapter aka Ys II
Thoughts?

"Ancient Ys Vanished Omen" and "Ancient Ys Vanished The Final Chapter" seem like very typical japanese titles to me. They often seem to be structured similiarly. They don't like colons or dashes in their titles, apparently.
I like what they did with the Master System title - Ys: The Vanished Omens.

I'm used to use these as their full names: - Ys I: Ancient Ys Vanished Omen - Ys II: Ancient Ys Vanished - The Final Chapter - Ys III: Wanderers from Ys - Ys IV: The Dawn of Ys/ Mask of the Sun - Ys V: Lost Kefin, Kingdom of Sand - Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim If any of these names are officially wrong, please let me know. I like to be as exact as possible (AKA perfeccionism). Well, anyway, that's how I always saw the games' titles at least.

It's Ancient Ys Vanished The Final Chapter. No dash.

Due to my perfeccionism, I won't be using the dash anymore. Though the world won't end if someone uses the dash or other separators. xD Ys = Strange names

I'm still confused as to why they called the third game Back to Ysfrica.

Yeah, I dunno if they were joking, either.
