/vr/ - Retro Games

I really want to get into the Ys series but I'm not certain how I want to play I and II. I have a turbografx which is what I would like to play it on but I don't have the CD attachment and those are way too expensive for me right now so I'm pretty sure my options are DS, PSP, and Steam. Is there a reason why any of those versions are better than one another or does is not matter at all?

>released in 1990
>one of the very first games with non-digitized voice acting(if not THE first)
>actually hired well-known voice actors like Jim Cummings, Alan Oppenheimer and Michael Bell
>still some of the best voice acting in any game

It's a real shame they went down so much in quality. Ys III on the TG-CD for instance had absolutely horrendous voice acting, most likely because the TG-CD was such a flop.

Might be cheating because the remake itself is so old(1989/1990) but it's still a remake nonetheless.

Ys Book I&II still blows me away to this day with that amazing CD soundtrack and professional voice acting. Most people did not own a TG-CD(and for good reason, it was fucking expensive) but for those who did it was one of the few truly great titles on the system.(not including only in Japan games like Rondo)

Fun fact: the intro in the last video is narrated by the guy who voiced Skeletor

This thread needs bumped with more hard-tier action RPGs

This, and the series as a whole.

One day I'll meet people with good taste, right /vr/?
