Ys Memories of Celceta

SCORE: 65

Ys (pronounced Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees) is one of the longest running role playing game franchises in the entire industry. It is an action adventure role playing game like the .hack franchise. Originally it was similar to the Legend of Zelda franchise, but it has developed differently over the years.

In recent years the Ys franchise has thrived on the hand held devices. Mainly the Sony ones. Ys Memories of Celceta is a Playstation Vita game with all kinds of character, depth, and a fun fantasy world for gamers to explore. Too bad Ys Memories of Celceta is not on the Nintendo 3DS in the United States. It could reach a larger audience.

The worst part about Ys Memories of Celceta is it will reach a niche audience that will either ignore it, or absolutely love it. A young Adol Christin has always been more interesting than a Link. Sadly he has not seen mainstream success. Adol may be one of the most under-appreciated video game characters of all time.

Adol Christin comes out of a forest with no memories and nearly dead. As the game progresses we find his memories and can piece together what happened the last time he was in this massive forest. Not everyone is happy to see Adol a second time. In fact too often he is chastised for doing something he no longer remembers. Let alone why. We also question whether he did those acts or not. I won't spoil anymore.

Ys Memories of Celceta contains violence and blood as characters hack and slash their way through countless enemies and numerous massive bosses. There are attire issues as well as enticement to lust issues. Certain characters have nasty, rude, and disgusting mouths.

There are multiple different systems of religion in Ys Memories of Celceta. This PS Vita game is similar to the real world in that regard. Jews and Christians can find some similar beliefs in at least one of the systems of religion. It is not explored enough to determine if it was based off of Judaism or Christianity. The concept of sinning is also in this hand held game.

Ys Memories of Celceta looks beautiful. The music is also exceptional in Ys Memories of Celceta. The depth of characters and how the story reveals itself is also magnificent. Expect to spend a few weeks (and multiple system recharges) to get through this entire game. There is also content after this hand held game is beaten.
