Hi! I'm not too good on making introductions, but I'll try my best...
The name's ZeLoz (aka Bill). Hobbies would include gaming, game collecting, wishing that I had enough money for game collecting, and drooling at games I wish I could afford. I am also a wannabe fantasy writer, complete with 6 years of experience, but absolutely no completed novels to speak of (Come this November, though...).
As for Ys, my first exposure was with the Famicom version during my days of lurking on the old Whirlpool Translation site. Finding some old English patches for the game, I decided to have a little go at them to see about the attack button-less fighting system I kept hearing about. My first impression was that they were pretty brutal in terms of difficulty (I still consider FC Ys I as the hardest port), but quite unique. Fast-forward a few years, and I would later find out about Ys I&II Complete in English, which would later convert me from casual player to full-blown fan. After clearing Ys I Complete, I wanted to find out more about the series, which would later lead me here (well, that and the fact that Windows 7 hates Ys I&II for some reason).
So yeah, I like Ys too. Currently playing both Dawn of Ys and Mask of the Sun after having beat FC Ys II, but I'm still looking for a way to play Complete on Win7.
