Ys/Trivia


 * Cut Song: Quite a few songs in the first game were unused, including the "Theme of Adol". Future ports and remakes use most of them.
 * Fan Translation: Dawn of Ys and Mask of The Sun. Also, the English version of Oath in Felghana actually began life as this. XSEED licensed the PC fan translation after it was completed and used most of it for the PSP release in the United States, and then went back and compiled their own version of Oath PC. The fantrans for Kefin got stuck in Development Hell for a very long while due to difficulties cracking the game's code, but was ultimately completed and released, with Aeon Genesis timing the release to roughly coincide with the official English release of Celceta. Furthermore, in the case of The Dawn of Ys, a later independent patch added English voice acting to the Turbo-Grafx 16 release provided by fans.
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: Michael Bell (Duke) and Alan Oppenheimer (Skeletor) voice Dark Fact and Darm, respectively, in the dub of I and II.
 * Cless with red hair.
 * Feena is a boy detective and is also part of Two-Mix. Reah is an Puru.
 * In XSEED's English dub of Oath in Felghana, Dogi the Wallcrusher is Ragna the Bloodedge, and Father Jean-Pierre is Edward Elric.
 * Port Overdosed: The original Ys is the most widely-ported JRPG ever made, having been continually available on virtually every Japanese platform from the last 25 years.
 * What Could Have Been: Falcom originally had plans for Mask of the Sun to receive a Sega-CD port. Considering the excellent hardware that in many ways was superior to the Turbo-Grafx 16, a Ys title would have been right at home in the console's lineup, definitely would have helped its library and may even have given Anglophone fans a shot at getting a version of IV in the 90's.
