Ys V: Kefin, Lost City of Sand English translation
イースV 失われた砂の都ケフィン · Ys V: Ushinawareta Suna no Miyako Kefin
Aeon Genesis's complete English translation of Ys V for the Super Famicom, long the one Ys game nobody could play in English.
What it is
Ys V sends Adol to the desert kingdom of Xandria to uncover what happened to Kefin, a city that disappeared along with the secrets of alchemy. It was a big change for the series: you swing your sword and raise your shield with buttons, you can jump, and spells come from combining elemental stones.
What's translated
Aeon Genesis released version 1.00 of its translation on 28 November 2013, covering the whole game. According to the group, hacking it took years because the game crashed constantly while being modified, and for a long time Ys V was the only entry in the series with no English version at all.
Playing it
Apply the patch to your own copy of the Japanese Super Famicom cartridge, following the group's instructions. The patch, notes and more screenshots are on the Aeon Genesis project page.
