🗡 ️ Ys Book I & II (TurboGrafx-CD) – The CD-ROM RPG That Redefined the Genre! 🔥 🎶
In today’s video, we’re turning back the clock to explore Ys Book I & II — one of the earliest and most influential CD-based RPGs ever released. Originally launched for the TurboGrafx-CD in 1989, this epic action-RPG bundle brings together the first two entries in the Ys series, fully enhanced with voice acting, animated cutscenes, and a legendary redbook audio soundtrack that still holds up decades later.
You step into the boots of Adol Christin, a red-haired swordsman with a thirst for adventure, as he uncovers the secrets of the lost land of Ys. With its unique "bump" combat system, sprawling overworld, and emotional storytelling, Ys Book I & II offers a tight, fast-paced RPG experience unlike anything else from its time.
💿 Why Ys Book I & II still rocks:
One of the first RPGs with fully voiced dialogue and cinematic cutscenes
Gorgeous 16-bit pixel art and vibrant environments
A god-tier soundtrack composed by Yuzo Koshiro and Mieko Ishikawa
Seamless integration of both games into one grand, continuous narrative
Intuitive and fast-paced combat system that keeps grinding to a minimum
This TurboGrafx-CD classic was a technical marvel for its time, showing what CD-ROM gaming could truly be. It helped define the potential of RPG storytelling with multimedia and set the standard for what a fully immersive console RPG could feel like — long before Final Fantasy VII hit the scene.
