[Ronaldo Erastus Yunior]

Origin -> Ys I & II -> Memories of Celceta -> Oath in Felghana -> Kefin, Lost Kingdom of Sand, Lacrimosa of Dana -> Ark of Napishtim -> Seven -> Monstrum Nox

Although if you really care about story you should play Origin after Ys II. Otherwise you're pretty much gonna go into I & II already knowing 80% of what's gonna happen.

Thank you doomlord huehuehue.

FYI you don't actually need to play any of the games in order as the stories are pretty standalone (in strong contrast to the The Legend of Heroes: Trails series). The exception is the Ys I & II duology.

Oh ok i get it too. Seems like FF. Thank you Quint.

Not quite like FF.

In FF there is no story connection at all between the main games.

But in Ys, there is a connection in that they all take place in the same setting and some elements of the setting and some characters are connected. However, you will not need the previous game to understand what happens in any of the games (except Ys II).

You may still find it more useful to play some games before others. Doomlord has one suggestion (though I didn't listen to it hahaha).

There is the chronological order and the release order... Check Digital Emelas for that

Keep in mind that Ys I&II has a gameplay completely different than the rest of the serie while Napishtim, Felghana and Origin have the same gameplay then Seven and Celceta have a different engine with a party-based gameplay and finally Lacrimosa (and soon Monstrum Nox) is basically fusing Origin with Seven/Celceta gameplay

Ok, thank you guys.

One more thing to keep in mind is that Oath and Celceta are both remakes (of Ys III and IV respectively) that were released after Ark, and they were both retconned to take some additional lore from it.

Again, nothing critical, but you'll see connections.
