Boy am I glad for this. If I want to become the ultimate Ys connoisseur I'll have to get around this eventually, even if the game itself isn't particularly good. Does A New Theory have a translation as well?

 

[Zerohour2k12]

Wow! Finally! So excited for this! Hope it turns out great! Big ups for the translator/team!

 

[Kingace19k]

Yep I was just looking for this literally perfect timing.

That's great, I played the Snes translation and still have no idea what the story is about

 

[Blamhammer]

Sweet!
The SNES game was still quite enjoyable. The last section gets pretty busy, maybe a bit too much to get it all into a SNES game.

Woohooo!!

I played the SNES original and thought it was a pretty good action RPG despite the change in style. It was long ago and I don't remember a ton about it, though, so I'd play this PS2 remake for sure.

Your awesome your doing Gods work my friend... Gods work. I was just on a Ys kick and just played the Snes version.

 

[Felipe]

This is GREAT news although i'd prefer to play the remake of YS IV that looks better IMHO.

 

[Ikagura Ikagura]

Neat!

Wait, I remember that the PS2 Ys IV and V games were translated or maybe I've mistaken with another game.

Been curious about this version for the longest time. Probably super low budget like A New Theory but still

Can't wait for this one!

 

[Adrastia]

I've been wanting to play this. I did play the SNES version.

 

[marxcore]

whoa! I'm so glad to see this get a translation. I've always wanted to play this!

 

[sayewonn]

I just assumed no one would ever bother with the PS2 remakes. God speed sir, and good luck!

Hi everyone! I'm Kaisaan, the main lead for the translation for Ys 5 PS2.

I'd like to thank everyone here for their support for this project! It's been really motivating to see so many people want to see this translated as I thought most people would just be waiting for an official remake by Falcom LOL.

For those curious, I do plan on getting all the Ys PS2 remakes translated eventually but Lost Kefin is the main priority.

I'll also push to get this finished even if Falcom decides to announce/release/localize a remake of Ys 5 before this gets finished but progress is going smoothly!

I'd also like to thank all the people offering to help me with this. Without their work and support, I wouldn't have gotten this far this fast lol.

Feel free to ask any questions here, or join the project's Discord Server to see live updates.

 

[Questless Knight]

Man Im hyped And thankfull 1 of 3 games I wished for finally gets a translation.

 

[Ikagura Ikagura]

I could do Ys III PS2 since I know the story but Ys IV and V had some slight changes I think.

Dogi being present instead of Stocker already altered the storyline.
