[edit] Formatting
If possible, we should re-format the console / PC list of releases (specifically, the first group is a mess) ... a format like this:
- Ys TITLE - Platform (year, publisher), Platform (year, publisher), Platform (year, publisher), etc.
- Ys TITLE - Platform (year, publisher), Platform (year, publisher), Platform (year, publisher), etc.
... would be much easier to read, more precise, and more informative
Also, the info on Ys cellular games I added is far from perfect. Proper translations of the titles would nice... also, I don't know if the list of cellular games is complete.
[edit] Pronunciation
I'm sure I've heard the title pronounced "EE-uhz", never "yeese". Can this be sourced?--StAkAr Karnak 23:02, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
- As Japanese pronuciation is /iisu/, logical anglicisation (a reverse of English to Japanese transcription) would produce /iːs/, with "s" unvoiced. It had been written so in the article but changed recently[1][2]. --Kusunose 04:26, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
-- I was under the impression that the correct pronunciation is like "peace" sans the "p". Currently, however, the entry claims that the pronunciation is "yeese" ... this is an ongoing debate that I *thought* had ended a long time ago. Surely there is an authoritative source to end this. Esteban666
- With two years of ongoing Japanese study, and playing games 1 through 6, un Japanese if need be, I can confidently say that the Japanese pronounce it "geese" (minus the g). The spelling is "iisu." The pronunciation of "i" is "ē", and "u" in "su" is silent. So, yes, it is like "peace" without the "p". This ought to end the debate. -- Masamunecyrus(talk)(contribs)

However it's pronounced, the current rendition of the pronunciation and phonetic breakdown, looks like a bunch of uninteligable html, and needs to be completely reviewed as a body of text.
[edit] Ys Eternal vs. Ys Complete
The screenshots say "Ys I Eternal", but the captions say "Ys I Complete". As well, what's the difference between "Ys Eternal", and "Ys Complete"? From what I see, they seem to be used interchangably.
- The original Windows PC remakes were "Ys Eternal" and "Ys II Eternal." Later, there was a compiled rerelease, which bumped up Ys Eternal's visuals to Ys II Eternal's level (more color depth, primarily) and made the soundtrack sound more cohesive between the two. This was released as "Ys I & II Complete." Later, once this was out of print, Falcom began selling the two separately again, as "Ys I Complete" and "Ys II Complete." The English patches on which I worked are only for the Complete rereleases, and cannot be used with the original, Eternal versions. Falcom complicated the issue by changing the "Eternal" to "Complete" on all external packaging and advertisements, but not in the actual games themselves. We made a point of editing the internal bitmaps to reflect the external change for the packages. --MoriyaMug 18:08, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Characters & Music
I feel like making a seperate page for the characters and music section. However, more details are probably needed in order for me to do that, anyone interested in helping? Eternal Sleeper 16:57, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
- I feel that the characters should appear on their game's respective pages. --Zhane Masaki 21:38, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Image:XisaYstype1Artwork.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.

[edit] Out of date?
I don't know enough about the series to contribute much, but some of the information predates December 2006, which makes it almost a year out of date. Anyone up to making the article a bit more current? Darquis 01:28, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
