Just for those wondeirng, it looks like I will not be able to stock the Ys
1,2 Complete when in comes out June 28th. I always did it as a favor to
those unable to get it from Falcom directly (with the 2 "Eternal" releases),
but do not have the funds to do so this time around.
Falcom still can ship to pretty much anywhere in the world, and accepts
credit cards for payment.
Just tell them which you wanted to order, and how many (English is fine, as
long as you keep if very simple):
Here are the item #s and prices:
Item: #801 Ys 1,2 Complete CD Rom
Price: 8700yen
Item: #802 Ys 1,2 Complete CD Rom
Price: 8700yen
If its anything like Ys 2 Eternal, I recommend the CD version. On Ys 2
Eternal, the DVD came on one DVD, but you couldn't listen to the music on a
cd player. The CD had a install disc and a game disc, but you could listen
to the game's music on a CD player.
You need to tell them this info:
Hello, I would like to preorder the following item:
(Whichever version you're ordering and the # of them)
Name:
Address:
Country:
Phone number:
Email:
Credit card type: (Visa, master)
Credit card number:
Credit card expiration (year first, then month, i.e. 2001/12):
Send the above information filled out to:
xxxxxx@falcom.com
They'll email you back saying something like "If you are ok, we think we
would like to accept your order.
We will be looking forward to contacting from you again. If you agree with
me, plase reply me soon.", or some broken english thing like that.
All they want is for you to confirm that you're okay with the information
they provided you (the price and shipping), you can simply reply with "I
agree with that. I am looking forward to receiving my order." It make take
them some time (a week plus even) to reply. They may or may not reply to
tell you the item was shipped once June 28th rolls around.
The game comes with a "Symphony Ys 21st century" musc CD, as well as a DVD
containing a 7 complete episodes of the first Ys anime. (The 4 episode anime
that came with ys 2 Eternal was the 2nd Ys anime). There is no regular
edition/limited edition distinction made on Ys 1,2 complete at this time,
all of them come with the extras.
It is not known at this time how well it will work under US Windows.
Emailing Falcom will not help, they will simply tell you that you need to
have Japanese windows, as they don't test their games on US Windows.
However, their previous Ys games have worked on US Windows, though usually
with a little tweaking. At any rate, the extras it comes with for free are
worth the cost of the game.
Shipping is most likely around 4000-4800yen per copy (and if you buy a lot,
it's still 4000-4800yen shipping each, which is higher than actual shipping
costs...).
The total cost of the game with shipping will probably be around
12700-13500yen, which is in US Dollars about $110.
While I'm not able to place orders for other people this time around, I'm
still willing to answer questions (since complicated questions to Falcom in
English should be avoided).
