Set 700 years before the first title in the Ys series, the Ys
Origin’s story focuses on the twin Goddesses and the
mysterious Black Pearl made famous in Ys I & II, and
follows the adventures of several playable characters as
they ascend the menacing Darm Tower. Players select
from one of three playable characters, each with their
own unique storyline and vastly different style of play.
After the Story Mode has been completed the real
challenge begins as players test their mettle in Time
Attack, Boss Rush and Arena Mode. Falcom’s much-
lauded Sound Team JDK is back once again to provide the
hard rocking music that players have become accustomed
to hearing as they take on the brutal old-school
platforming and puzzle challenges that the Ys series is
known for.
