  Ys - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
Ys (also spelled Is or Ker-Ys in Breton) is a mythical city built in the Douarnenez bay in Brittany by Gradlon, King of Cornouaille, for his daughter Dahut.
Bretons said that Ys was the most wonderful city in the world, and that Lutèce was renamed Paris after Ys was destroyed, because "Par-Is" in Breton means "Similar to Ys".
The legend of Ys was confined to the folk of Brittany until 1839, when T. Hersart de la Villemarqué published a collection of popular songs collected from oral tradition, the Barzaz Breizh.

 Hardcore Gaming 101: Ys
Ys actually refers to a floating island in the sky, long removed from the soil to seal away some terrible evil.
Ys 3 departed from the series by shifting to the third person view, but both Ys 4s (there are two entirely separate games) brought the classic overhead view back into play.
The first two Ys games are combined into one big adventure, with stats carrying over from one game to the next, as well as a few additional scenes (like Adol getting off the ship at the beginning of the game) and more anime style artwork.

Ys is also the title of a popular RPG series produced by Falcom and first appeared on the PC-88 computer system; see Ys (video game).
Ys (also spelled Is in Breton) is a mythical city built in the Douarnenez bay in Brittany by Gradlon, King of Cornouaille, for his daughter Dahut.
This history is also sometime viewed as the victory of Christianity (Gradlon was converted by Saint Guénolé) over druidism (Dahut and most inhabitants of Ys were worshipers of Celtic gods).

 Hardcore Gaming 101: Ys
All of this is somehow related to the cold-hearted childhood friend Elena and her malicious brother Chester (surely the best-named evil doer in video game history.) Naturally, it's up to Adol to investigate the conspiracy, none of which have anything to do with the land of Ys.
Truly a Great Villain in Video Game History, Chester aspires to be a major bad ass by summoning the power of the evil Demanicus (or Galbadan, depending what version you're playing.) His voice actor for the English Ys 3 is terribly amazing.
While the game overall feels less broken than all of the other versions, hitting bad guys in midair is still difficult, and the difficulty is very unbalanced.

 Ys: The Vanished Omen - Retroview
Late in the 80s, Nihon Falcom began a little RPG series known as Ys (which rhymes with “geese”), which would span innumerable video game consoles and have several remakes; only the first few games in the series saw the light of day in America.
While Ys is a game where you will die *a lot*, the title thankfully allows you to save your game anywhere.
Overall, the first Ys was an excellent start for the series, with short yet sweet and solid gameplay, one that I heavily recommend to anyone, and if you’re lucky, you’ll be able to find a Sega Master System and cartridge of the game.

 Ys: The Ark of Napishtim - ps2 Review - Game Revolution
The game is a deliberate throwback to the classic action-rpg games that first hit the consoles back in 1988.
The keyword here is “mindlessly”—and playing a lot of this game will make you remember the finer points of the “video games make you stupid” vs. the “video games improve hand-eye coordination” argument.
Ys VI, which Konami replicates in The Ark of Napishtim, was one of the best-selling PC rpg’s in Japan a few years ago, and its release on the PS2 has been anticipated by an almost cultish following.

 History of video game consoles (third generation) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the history of video games, the 8-bit era was the third generation of video game consoles, but the first after the video game crash of 1983 and considered by some to be the first "modern" era of console gaming.
The post-crash 8-bit era saw the first console role-playing video games, and was the birth of the side-scroller.
Editing and censorship of video games was often used in localizing Japanese games to North America.

The only involvement that this location has had in the games, is that it is where Adol and Dogi were when the Romun soldiers came looking for them, just before they were taken into hiding by Ladoc and Terra (Ys VI).
The setting of the game makes it highly unlikely that Adol will be playable (a first for the series), unless he is added as a hidden bonus character.
