Hey guys, I'm having a little dilemma on whether to sell my PC games of OiF and I + II Complete. I got these games two or so years ago, but from recently getting a PSP, I own OiF which I find a great port, and was wondering if Chronicles is the same deal as I plan on getting it on PSP, hence no need for the PC games. (Although I'm a collector, I may regret this )

Yes, Chronicles is the same -- BUT you get to choose between Complete artwork and Chronicles artwork in-game, as well as choosing your soundtrack. All in all, it's an awesome package, I highly recommend it!

While what Unsavory Maggot said is true, I prefer the PC Complete games, as playing with a control pad/analog stick for movement feels a lot less precise to me (I might be in the minority on this, though). There's also the issue of pretty much no loading times in the PC versions, whereas the PSP version has some (not bad, though), as well as supposedly being able to see more of the game screen on a PC (I never noticed, quite honestly).
Other than these issues (and really, they're only minor quibbles for me), I think the PSP version is a fine port of Complete.
EDIT: Oh yes, PSP Felghana is much the same too, just an added image gallery, as well as the ability to upgrade weapons/armor up to level 9 (I think it's after completing the game?), and a couple other small changes.

I prefer them on PSP. Because, with that, you can play the games when you want, no matter where you are. X3

Ys on PC or PSP? How about both? Especially if you're a collector and own limited/premium editions of these. owo I seriously want that book. XDDDDDD You´ve got lucky. =P

I´ll take a look at it, but I don´t think they let Europeans to buy at their stores. I saw it at Amazon, but can´t. Thank you very much. ^^

Thanks guys. True, I guess it's more of a convenience to play these games. My CD-ROM Drive is broken so that's another + for the PSP game.

Both, It matters not to me which platform you play Ys on (except Ys VI, PSP version sucks).

Noo dont sell them! You can flippin' SEE any of the PSP stuff (the Ys VI graphics were resized really crudely).
At least add the handheld stuff to the collection then you can have everything..?

IF you value more gameplay - Ys I-II for PC.
Because on the PSP the framerate is rather low. As Wyrdwad pointed out ages ago, the PSP doesn't handle 2D graphics very well.
Otherwise, I'd say go for Ys I-II PSP.
For me, though, I need both. xD

Man... that collection is sweet, especially the book edition. The only cool Ys product I have is my original Turbografx-CD version which I bought back in 1989 when I got the TurboGrafx CD player add-on... for $399!! ouch. I don't have the system anymore but the game works great via MagicEngine.

Nice! MP83 has the DVD version of the Limited Edition Collector's Edition of Ys I & II Complete. That's more rare than the CD version which is what I have. : ) I think that as a collector, if you care about collecting, you might regret selling the PC versions. Aesthetically, they are much nicer to be displayed than most PC big box games. I like the PC versions much more than the PSP versions since the graphics are better on the PC versions, though if you don't really mind not having them in your collection, the XSEED Steam releases are very good! I also agree with Red Hardo in that Gameplay-wise, you'll have a much easier time with playing via a USB gamepad than with the tiny PSP nub of an analog stick. Took me FOREVER to finish of Vagullion on Nightmare using the PSP controls... -Thomas

I have heard the windows port is bad but I still want to get my hands on it one of these days.
