help Ys Origin FAQ

Where does Ys Origin fit in the Ys timeline?

Ys Origin is a prequel set about 700 years before Ys I and Ys II. It does not star Adol Christin in the main story, which makes it unusual for the series.

Who are the playable characters in Ys Origin?

The main playable characters are Yunica Tovah and Hugo Fact, with a third route unlocked later. Each character changes the combat rhythm, from close-range axe attacks to magic-focused ranged play.

What platforms has Ys Origin been released on?

Ys Origin first released for Windows in Japan in 2006, then reached wider PC audiences through later localization. It has also been ported to platforms such as PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.

Is Ys Origin closer to Ys I or Ys VIII in play style?

It is much closer to the compact, dungeon-focused action style of older Ys than to the party-based structure of Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana. Most of the game is built around Darm Tower-style progression, boss fights, and replayable character routes.
