April 2025
Ys: Memories of Celceta – “Map the World, Save the World, Forget Why You're Doing Either” Adol Christin wakes up in the middle of a forest with no memory, no gear, and no idea how he got there—which is oddly relatable. Within minutes, someone hands him a magical GPS and says, “Go touch every tree in the forest.” And he does. For 30 hours. Combat is fast, flashy, and fun—if a bit button-mashy. You’ve got dodges, blocks, and anime flourishes galore. The party-switching system returns from Ys Seven, letting you cycle through characters like you’re speed-scrolling a gacha roster. None of them can jump, by the way. Not even a hop. Adventurers, grounded by design. The story? Starts strong with amnesia intrigue and then sort of... forgets to be interesting. The villains appear, monologue, and die like bad cosplay at a fan convention. Character development peaks right when someone joins the party and never again. But hey, at least they're charming anime clichés. Mapping the overworld is the big gimmick here, and it's great—if you love manually rubbing against every suspicious rock face like you’re trying to unlock a romance subplot with the environment. The game calls it “exploration.” I call it “arboreal foreplay.” Visually, it's... a Vita game. With bloom. So much bloom. The camera is locked tighter than Adol’s facial expressions. But the soundtrack? Certified banger status, as always. Falcom’s composers are still working overtime to make sure you’re headbanging while you’re lost in shrubbery. Despite its janky camera, undercooked plot, and tree-heavy cartography, Memories of Celceta is a janky, lovable time. It’s like comfort food made by someone who occasionally forgets how to cook—but the seasoning (combat, music, and classic Ys vibes) is just right. I rolled my eyes a lot, but I also played it to the end and had a damn good time doing it.

Great game and story alike. Not sure why they say it is unsupported on deck, i've already uncovered 30% of the map and it works fine. All i did was disable the shadows at the opening settins (which didn't even disable the shadows lol)

Japan's infamous amnesiac is at it again on yet another adventure. This dude really needs to stop doing drugs and forgetting everything. The story is more or less the same as any other Ys adventure and the combat is exactly what you expect from the series. Maybe some see the repetitive nature of these games as a bad thing but I like that there are some series you can count on for sticking to what they do best. If you enjoy action RPGs then you will almost certainly love this!

Good game overall with excellent story (for 99% of the playtime) and vivid characters. Battle system is mostly fluent as well although I never used guard for the entirety of the game (I used dodge only). Exploration is cool and intriguing and the environment and music add perfectly to game-play immersion. Nevertheless, let's get to the frustrating parts that I have encountered. First, the video of the game freezes often (like around once per hour) while the game is running on my device. The audio, game mechanics and UI are still working while the video freezes so I can save the actual game state with the right sequence of keys). The only method to fix the video is to close the game window and restart the game. This is very likely not a performance issue of my device as my fans are not roaring and the temperature is not fuming, and the freezing and crashing occur no matter how high or low I set my game performance settings to be. There are also a number of softlocking bugs that I have encountered. One is on the sprinting section on the Tower of Prominence. Reaching certain areas of the map resulting in the character in control being stopped by an invisible wall and unable to move in front or sideways while the sprinting animation plays. Releasing the sprint key causes the sliding down animation to play but the character is stuck in place. This can only be solved by reloading a save. The other is at the golden section of Iris. Upon exiting one of the portals after finishing the monsters inside, one of the characters of the party is visually inside the portal with a perpetual walking animation and the game ui is non-functional when this happens. It is only solved when I exit and restart the game and change my party and the order of doing the doors. Furthermore, the last section of the game after the penultimate boss feels really underwhelming. There is an epic build-up of story scenes and an entire long map section dedicated to reaching the final boss, which is extremely unimpressive and not really difficult either compaired to other boss fights in the game (even the duel with Duren in Comodo feels more challenging and impressive). The final boss only has one stage, lasts less than 2 minutes, and does not leave room for any exhibition of "the power of friendship" of the playable cast to be the polar opposite to the epic mood. After that there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in terms of an epilogue and Adol do not even see and talk to his teammates again AT ALL. This feels really outrageous for a story-rich JRPG with good characterisation of its characters. because any player will undoubtedly want more stories at this point and the game says, "No unfortunately". Hence, it is unquestionably a good game, but one with gameplay issues here and there, and an absent ending.

The gameplay, combat and dungeons are great. The characters are funny. One of my favorite Ys games. The story however is just ok.
