Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana, a revitalized entry in the acclaimed Ys series, arrives on PS5 and Nintendo Switch. This isn't just a port; it's a remake of Ys: The Oath in Felghana (itself a reimagining of the 1989 Ys III: Wanderers from Ys), offering a refined narrative experience. The game boasts a significant overhaul, transforming the original side-scroller into an action RPG with dynamic camera angles that adapt to gameplay.

Completion Time Estimates for Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana

The length of your adventure in Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana will vary based on your playstyle and chosen difficulty. Nihon Falcom's Ys games are known for their quality, but not necessarily their extensive playtime.

• Average Playthrough (Normal Difficulty): Expect to invest around 12 hours for a first playthrough on normal difficulty. This includes engaging in combat with most enemies and exploring thoroughly. The number of boss fight attempts and grinding significantly impacts this time.

• Focused Story Completion: By skipping side quests and minimizing combat encounters, players can complete the main storyline in under 10 hours.

• Including Side Content: Tackling the optional side quests, which often involve revisiting earlier areas with newly acquired abilities, will add approximately 3 hours, bringing the total playtime to roughly 15 hours. These quests unlock previously inaccessible areas.

• Complete Experience: For players aiming to experience everything, including multiple playthroughs on different difficulties and New Game+, anticipate a playtime closer to 20 hours. Note that skipping dialogue, while saving time, is not recommended for first-timers wanting to fully appreciate the story.
