Ys IX Demo Now Available on PS4 and Switch

Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana, a remastered version of the classic Ys: The Oath in Felghana (itself a remake of Ys 3), offers a compelling action RPG experience on PS5 and Nintendo Switch. This detailed reimagining boasts improved visuals and storytelling compared to its predecessors. Unlike the original side-scrolling Ys 3, Oath in Felghana utilizes dynamic camera angles, enhancing gameplay immersion.

Estimated Playtime:

The completion time for Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana is highly variable, depending on playstyle and difficulty.

Average Playthrough (Normal Difficulty): Expect around 12 hours. This includes engaging with most enemies, exploring areas thoroughly, and completing a normal amount of side quests. Boss battles and enemy grinding will significantly impact this time.
Rushed Story: Focusing solely on the main storyline and minimizing side activities could reduce playtime to under 10 hours. This involves skipping optional content and rushing through encounters.
Including Side Content: Completing a substantial portion of the side quests adds approximately 3 hours to the average playthrough, resulting in a total of around 15 hours. These quests often involve revisiting earlier areas with newly acquired abilities, unlocking previously inaccessible sections.
Completist Playthrough: For players aiming to experience everything, including all side quests, multiple difficulties, and New Game+, the total playtime could reach approximately 20 hours.

The game cleverly balances length and narrative. It avoids overstaying its welcome while providing a satisfyingly complete experience, justifying its price point compared to larger AAA titles. While skipping dialogue might shorten playtime, it's not recommended for first-timers wanting to fully appreciate the story.
