It was just announced last night that Nihon Falcom Corp. will be remaking Ys IV for the Playstation Vita. Ys IV hasn’t really gotten much remake love except for the unfortunately bad Taito produced Ys IV – Mask of the Sun: A New Theory for PS2. The Vita version titled Ys: Woodland of Celceta will utilize the party system from the recent PSP exclusive Ys Seven. What remains to be seen is exactly which version of the game will be used as a starting point for the remake. There are two very different original versions of Ys IV; Mask of the Sun on the Super Famicom, and Dawn of Ys which came out on the PC Engine CD. Then again if Falcom follows the trend that they started with the remake/re-imagine of Ys III called The Oath in Felghana then Ys fans and action RPGs fans alike are surely in for a treat. I for one am very excited.
