The Bottom Line:

"Best in series"

Wanderers of Ys is is a rather challenging game - you can get killed early in the game just as easily as you can on the final boss. The controls are crisp and fast, and story and levels are engaging. While not on the level of the Zelda, Metroid, Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger games. Rumor is the Ys 1 & 2 from SNES are better of the trilogy, but with PSP graphics, u never know. This game was released on PC in 2005, and it got a English fan-made patch like the Ys 1 and 2 prequels, and was compared to Diablo II gameplay. On Youtube, the The Oath in Felghana boss soundtrack got on the top 50 videogame music full of RPG games. The PC version was the most sought after Nippon Falcon import in 2005 due to the English patch and it cost $60 to import to the states. It may of been the top RPG for Turbografx-16, not sure. This version is far better than the 16-bit Wanderers of Ys, because its' longer, sounds better, and plays in 3D.
