Release Date: January 7, 2025
A remastered version of an action RPG YS: The Oath in Felghana. Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana tells the story of Adol Christin, traversing the land of Felghana to restore it to greatness along with his friend Dogi.
Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana is a remastered version of Ys: The Oath in Felghana, an action RPG from 2005, which itself was a remake of Ys III: Wanderers From Ys from 1989. The game was developed by Falcom, the company overseeing the franchise.
The main character of Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana is Adol Christin, who returns to the eponymous Felghana accompanied by his friend Dogi, arriving to the village of Redmont. As it turns out, the place has changed beyond recognition during their absense. Monsters prowl the land, the nearby volcano is once again active, with the realm itself being oppressed by a tyrant. Adol and Dogi have no choice but to get to work and restore Felghana to its former glory.
The gameplay in Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana is shown from the top-down perspective. The player traverses the world, completes various quests and often battles enemies. Combat is dynamic, the key to success being constant movement, skillful use of special attacks and executing combos effectively. In addition to regular foes we'll also face powerful bosses. Progressing lets us develop our character, his new abilities letting him face greater challenges and reach previously inaccessible places.
During their work on Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana, the developers mostly focused on the game's audiovisual side. The graphics have been improved, the characters received new portraits, the main protagonist's voice lines have been voiced and the soundtrack is now of a higher quality. In addition, the player can now choose the playable character's speed.

I know from all of this it sounds like I don’t care much for Ys: The Oath in Felghana, but that’s not really the case. It firmly exists within the Ys series, and just as last year brought us that magnificent remake of Dragon Quest III, here’s an old-timey classic within the action JRPG genre for the people who appreciate it. Not everything needs to be deep and meaningful, and Felghana certainly isn’t that. But it’s easy to appreciate its place within one of the longest-running and most enduring JRPG properties of all time.

Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana is one heck of a wild ride that acts as a wonderful nostalgic time capsule. At the same time, it's so maddeningly difficult on the normal setting and the poor sense of direction can occasionally be a tough pill to swallow. ??

With Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana, Falcom had a chance to deliver the definitive version of a classic, but the end result is just a good portable version of a fantastic game. Newcomers to the game or those who have only played modern Ys games should absolutely get Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana, but I can't help but feel disappointed with what could've been. I'll still be replaying Ys: The Oath in Felghana through this new release on PS5 and Switch, but hopefully Falcom handles a potential future Memoire release better.
