The Ys series is said to be the mother of the fantasy RPG genre. This 2D RPG series features not only an exciting game play, engaging plot, dazzling magic and a set of charming characters, but also promotes traditional heroic qualities like innocence, compassion, chivalry and gallantry. With these attributes, the remake of this classic title is a refreshing change from the trendy games these days that celebrates graphic depictions of debauchery.

The Ys series for Nintendo DS is not a simple remake of the previous series, but it utilizes the potential of the DS by using one of the screens to show the playing field and the other to show detailed information on the characters. The players are presented with an option of controlling their characters in the orthodox way by making use of the buttons or the touch pen to execute combos and other secret attacks. Because of the DS's capabilities, a maximum of four people can play together now and enjoy an unforgettable adventure.
