Ys 1 & 2 Complete -- Initial Impression.

After completing Fight Night: Round 3 I needed something quick I could fit in before the must play day one title New Super Mario Bros. arrives in three days so I decided on Ys: Ancient Vanished Omen from Ys 1 & 2 Complete. This will be the fourth version of the original Ys I've played. I've played the SEGA Master System, Famicom, and TG-16 CD versions. This particular version of Ys was released in 2001 on Japanese computers. It features the best graphics to date, updated sound and FMV, and new scenarios and an expanded and more fleshed out story. I have played through the start of the game to completing Solomon Shrine. That's roughly one-third of the game leaving the abandoned mine and Darm's Tower.  That's enough for me to be sure how well this one is going to turn out...
