Ys イース

Ys (イース, Īsu) is a Japanese action role-playing game series developed by Nihon Falcom. The series chronicles the adventures of the red-haired adventurer Adol Christin as he explores various regions and eras. Since its debut on the NEC PC-8801 in 1987, Ys has become one of Falcom's flagship series and has been released on multiple platforms.

The Ys series has a large fan base worldwide and is praised for its contributions to the action RPG genre.
