Ys I & II Chronicles Premium Edition

Falcom's Ys series has one of the most dedicated fanbases in all of gaming, and XSEED made sure the Western release of their flagship RPG duology got proper treatment. The Ys I & II Chronicles Premium Edition on PSP packages the definitive versions of two action RPG classics with a 20-track soundtrack in a cardboard box that signals you're holding something special.

In the US, this was a First Edition release, meaning every pre-order and day-one purchase was automatically upgraded to the Premium Edition. XSEED and Atlus pioneered this approach during the PSP era, rewarding early supporters without making them jump through hoops. That 20-track soundtrack is a serious inclusion for a series whose music is legendary among RPG fans. Ys soundtracks aren't background noise. They're the kind of compositions that spawn dedicated cover bands and concert performances.

These games trace their roots back to 1987, and this PSP compilation represents decades of refinement packed onto a single UMD. The Premium Edition box gives it the visual distinction it deserves on a shelf, separating it from the standard release at a glance. For Ys collectors and fans of Falcom's particular brand of fast-paced action RPG excellence, this is a foundational piece. The First Edition window is long closed, making complete copies a genuine find.
