Ys Memoire: Felghana Oath Completion Time Revealed

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 classic, Ys III: Wanderers from Ys), offering a refined narrative experience. The game transforms the original side-scrolling adventure into an action RPG with dynamic camera angles, enhancing the storytelling.

Estimated Playtime for Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana

Completion time varies significantly based on play style and difficulty.

A standard playthrough on normal difficulty, including exploration and combat encounters, averages around 12 hours. This includes time spent overcoming boss battles and potential grinding. However, focusing solely on the main storyline, bypassing side quests and many enemy encounters, can reduce playtime to under 10 hours.

Conversely, thorough exploration and completion of all side quests can extend playtime. Side quests, some appearing later in the game, often require revisiting earlier areas with newly acquired abilities, unlocking previously inaccessible locations. This adds approximately 3 hours, bringing the total to around 15 hours. Adding in multiple playthroughs on different difficulties or utilizing New Game+ could easily push the total playtime to 20 hours or more. Skipping dialogue will shorten playtime, but this is discouraged for first-time players to fully appreciate the narrative.
