Let's all think back to all the versions of Ys I - VI that we've played and how many times we've replayed them from start to finish (on any difficulty)! (SEVEN's only been on PSP so ...)
I'm just gonna list the ones that I've played more than once. XD I'm going to cheat for Felghana. :3
Ys Eternal (Chinese edition) - 2 times
Ys II Eternal/Complete - 2 times <-- I consider them the same version.
Ys: The Oath in Felghana - PC version once, PSP JP once, and on my way to completing the PSP NA version.
Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim - 2 times
Ys Origin - 3 times (once per character)
Ys SEVEN - JP once, NA once
Also, I've started Ys V: Expert at least two times but never finished it. XD

Ys I: Played through the TurboGrafx version one and a half times. Once on my Wii, and I got up to Darm Tower on an emulated version(why I was playing it with an emulator when I legally own it, I don't know) before the game would glitch and freeze when Goban was talking.
Ys II: Played through once, TurboGrafx version.
Ys III: Played through the TurboGrafx version of Ys III once a few months back via emulation. Played through the PSP version of Oath in Felghana once on Normal, once on Nightmare, and lastly on Inferno, although the Inferno was a New Game+ run just so I could unlock the second secret boss.
Ys IV: Played through Dawn of Ys once via emulation. Started a second playthrough, but stopped really early because I hate the first dungeon with a passion. Also started a Mask of the Sun playthrough, but didn't get very far.
Ys SEVEN: Played through twice. Once on Normal, and once on Nightmare.
Considering I've only been a fan for a few months, I'd say I've played a good number of Ys games. Especially since I can't find Ark of Napishtim and lack the money to import Origin.

Yeah, I've been planning to get it for awhile. Just haven't been able to find it anywhere. I bet fate will taunt me and I'll find the PSP version but not the PS2 version. >_>

Ys I - Played through the NES version once, but don't remember much. Played through Eternal once, Complete 5 times, and Chronicles once. There's probably upwards of 30 incomplete playthroughs (mostly Complete), as well. >_>
Ys II - Played through the NES version once. Eternal once, Complete 5 times, and Chronicles once. Probably only 10 or so separate incomplete playthroughs of mostly Complete (the main game is more linear than Ys I, so there's less of a need to restart for testing).
Ys III/YsF - Played the SNES version probably 3 times, and YsF four times.
Ys IV - Played MotS probably 3 times, and DoY just once.
Ys V - Played through once, though I don't remember if it was the normal version, or the expert one. Didn't understand much of anything, naturally. =p
Ys VI - Played through 4 times. Probably my favorite Ys game so far, despite playing I & II more.
Ys Seven - Played through once, but will definitely play again sometime.

Ah. :(
But you get pudgy Adol from the get-go! Don't you have to unlock the original PC models in the PS2?

Nope, that is simply impossible in the PS2 version. You're pretty much stuck with some very crappy, eye-less, undetailed 3D models.

hmm, I won't try to be specific about each version if I can't remember or there's no major changes
Ys 1 - about 5 times Ys 2 - 4 times Felghana - 3 times on PC, haven't finished PSP version yet Ys 4 - started twice, yet to finish Ys 5 - 0, waiting for a finished translation Napishtim - twice on PS2, once on PC Origin - Yunica twice, Hugo halfway. Still never unlocked Thor 7 - JP Hard, JP Nightmare, US Nightmare.

I started with Napishtim, which I've played three times. P layed Oath in Felghana once, about a year ago, and plan to give it a replay as soon as I get an HD tv for my room (to hook me PC up to). Tried the original 3 a couple weeks ago, and stopped after about the fourth monster (hit detection problems + mean ass monster killing me right off = no playthrough). Played 1 & 2 on the DS last December, one playthrough. Seven the week it came out, and I plan a second playthrough the instant I get my own PSP (No clue when that will be, however). Thankfully, for my second go I'll be aware of flashguard! And I played Mask of the Sun once about two months ago. Origin is awaiting its patch (I can hear it crying sometimes at night), 5 is awaiting my literacy, and the OTHER Ys 4 is also awaiting a big ass tv screen to do its emulation justice.

Ys I - At least 6 times (Normal/Hard/Nightmare on Complete, DS, NES, and TG-16 via VC) Ys II - At least 5 times (same as above minus NES) Ys III - MORE THAN I CAN COUNT. Due to the SNES version being the only Ys game I knew of or owned from my childhood up until 2003/4-ish. And once on Genesis OiF - at least 7.5 times (all difficulties on PC and 1.5 on PSP so far) DoY - 1 MotS - 1 Ys V Expert - 0.3 Napishtim - 4 (Normal/Hard/Nightmare on PS2, Hard on PC) Ys SEVEN - 1.7 (Hard on JP PSP, Nightmare on US PSP.. I should really finish that) Ys Origin - At least 12 times from trying to beat the game with everyone on every difficulty

Oh let's see...
Ys I I cleared once on the DS Port, while I abandoned Ys II near the start. I would have gone back to beat it, but with the looming PSP release how could I ever try and force myself to play that version? I'll be more than happy to play the original games as Falcom wanted us to see them~
Ys III... Well, I never had a SNES until I was nearly 16, so I kinda missed out on my chance to play it. Oath on the other hand, I've cleared three times since picking it up on PSP. Boss Rush has gotten even more love than that from me.
I've never really bothered to mess with emulators on this PC, so I'll admit I've yet to play IV-V, so I'm hoping Falcom will get to work on those remakes soon!
VI was my first Ys game, and I've played the hell out of it. I've cleared it at least 3 times on PS2, and probably around 5 times on PSP. Boss Rush is a whole other monster, I've had to have cleared it out at *least* 30 times on the PSP. Even after getting Oath, VI's Boss Rush is still my biggest Ys related time-sink.
SEVEN I beat almost right away after picking it up, but I haven't made much progress after starting my Nightmare Mode play of it. It's not that I don't have fun, or that it's too hard- It's just that loooord is it hard to stay motivated when you know how long the game is. I'm going to have to just power through it one of these days...
Origin is in the same boat as IV-V, but I'm really tempted to just buy a PC copy before they get too much rarer. Or if I'm lucky, Falcom will have word on the PSP version by then.

Hmm...
Ys I & II: I beat the turbografx version once, I beat Complete twice.
III: Played Felghana three times. PC Normal mode, PSP Nightmare/Inferno.
VI: Played Napishtim once. I wasn't very impressed with this game, so whether or not I'll revisit it is doubtful. It has Ernst, though.
VII: Beaten once on Nightmare. Definitely gonna replay this at some point.
BONUS Ys Lite (this one is for you Wyrd): Yeah, I beat Gurumin once. It was pretty cool, but I'm not gonna go back to it.

That doesn't surprise me at all, actually. Gurumin seems right up your alley.

Well, if you're going to continue comparing Gurumin to Ys... then I'm going to shock and amaze you by saying that I think I actually PREFER Gurumin to Ys Seven. -Tom Expected/10
