イースI・II完全版 874 is currently on sale at falcom for 3,960円
Just wanted to let everyone know that falcom is having a sale on Ys I and II complete. I went ahead and ordered today and got the cheeper price. to double check i clicked on there online ordering and verified that it was also giving the discount also.
-
A cheap price for a great game ! (no wait... two great games ! :P)
-
Was going to state a date the sale would end, but I already see イースI・II 完全版 874, for 4,788 yen.
-
They never publically posted the sale. I ordered and got the sale price. The other way to make the sale price appear is to put the 874 into the shopping cart and then the sales price will appear there instead of the regular price (4788). As of today when it is put in the shopping cart the price is still appearing as 3960. I have no idea when the sale will end.
Let me know if the shopping cart thing is working the same way when you try it.

After going into the shopping cart I saw...
送料込み合計金額（税込）4788円 (うち消費税228円)
税抜き送料：600円＜日本国内一律（代金引換手数料等含む）＞
Essentially it's saying that the 4788 yen is with tax and shipping in Japan. Take out tax for 228 and shipping for 600 and you'd have Ys I・II base price for 3960, it isn't a sale and will be that price for everyone who ever orders the item.
Edit: I'd also like to mention that this isn't the only game that does this, if you ordered ED6SC you got charged 7400 yen, when the listed price is 8400.
-
good catch. wonder why they are using this new way of charging now before they use to charge the full price quoted on the price list. It is obviously a good thing for all that they have gone to this new system. would be better though if they quoted in base price to begin with.
-
Heh, got the sale and I didn't even know it. Wouldn't have mattered, I would've paid a lot for this game. I've been wanting to play an updated version for so long it's ridiculous. I can die happy now...er...after I finish Ys II anyways.
Peace Out

Hey Jest, if you could zip up both YS1_WIN.EXE and YS2_WIN.EXE from the CD/DVD discs and attach them to a post here, I would appreciate it. I wanna take a look at those new executables since after reading your post about problems with patching, it appears they are of a newer version.

what is even more interesting is the box itself is marked with the 4700 yen price right on it. sounds kinda of weird. wonder if they are trying to compete with the local stores that the games sell at...

It's not weird. Falcom has ALWAYS put the price on the actual box. Even back in 1984, on Dragon Slayer (just an example. They've put it on every game they've ever released). Actually, I believe almost every Japanese game has the price put on the actual box, rather than using a price tag.
And the Ys box is marked with 4,700円 because that's the price in Japan. We don't have to pay tax for some reason, but that has nothing to do with anything.
Check the lower right corner of the box: 4,800円

Ya know what i find humerous about all this no one noticed back when we were charged full box price. but now all of a sudden now that we are not charged full local price and i raised a flag about the price change it seems a lot of more people are knowlegable about the situation. Um it might have helped to notice this when we were paying the whole thing! LOL
-
Nice box, by the way. :P
-
ya it looks good falcom does a good job of recycling the background and other art work.

I went ahead and ordered the game after reading this, was really easy to do and I ended up paying like $47 with shipping. Not bad at all.
