Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana – D1 Refined Edition released in January with a $60 MSRP. The regular price has since dropped to $50, but the $35 deal is still the best we’ve seen from a major retailer.
Inside the oversized box, you’ll find a normal Switch case with the game on a physical card and a handful of collectibles:
- Acrylic keychain
- Diorama set
- Four postcards
- Soundtrack on CD
- Microfiber cloth
There’s an interesting history behind this Ys release, as it was first released under the title of Ys III: Wanderers from Ys in 1989. It was remade as Ys: The Oath in Felghana for PSP in 2005. The remake was ported to PC in 2012, which was remastered as the D1 Refined Edition for Nintendo Switch and PS5.
The Oath in Felghana completely overhauled Ys III, and this new edition adds quality-of-life enhancements like Turbo mode, optional new character illustrations throughout the game, and voice acting for protagonist Adol Christin. The latest release features three different iterations of the original soundtrack, all remastered in high-quality audio.
Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana follows the adventurous hero Adol and his companion Dogi as they return to Felghana after an eight-year journey. The lands are now filled with deadly monsters and a greedy overlord rules over the suffering residents. While Dogi leaves to seeks help from his former master, Adol stays on to assist the locals and quickly finds himself caught in the middle of new conspiracies and ancient legacies.
The PS5 edition sold out at Amazon and Walmart earlier this year, and there’s no indication that it will be restocked again. Best Buy still has copies for PS5, but you’ll have to pay the full $50 MSRP.
