About

Ys: I & II Chronicles is a remake for the PSP of the two first iterations of the critically-acclaimed Ys series. The graphics have been reimagined in HD hand-drawn 2D and the soundtrack newly rearranges, while returning fans have the option of playing with the original music or using alternative character art. Four difficulty levels and a time trial mode have also been added, making this the definitive version of the legendary series’ origin.
