Editing Ys I: Ancient Ys Vanished (section)

==Version differences==
Aside from graphical differences, the game layout remains essentially the same across the many ports of Ys I; however, there are some versions where the details were changed. The Sega Master System version, for example, saw some of the game's dungeon areas flipped horizontally (including some other minor differences).

The most distinctive of the early ports was the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|Famicom]] edition, which was published by [[Victor Musical Industries]]. This version was a vast departure from the original, featuring entirely new layouts for the towns, field, and dungeons, replacement of a number of the original musical tracks, and a new final battle sequence.

The version developed for the [[MSX]] contained a handful of new musical tracks which replaced part of the original game's soundtrack. Some of these tracks, along with a number of unused tracks first composed for the original, were later incorporated into the soundtrack of ''Ys Eternal'' and ''Ys Complete''.

The versions developed for the [[TurboGrafx-16|PC Engine CD-ROM²]] and [[Sega Saturn]] included additional [[cutscenes]], such as an opening detailing Adol's arrival in the town of Minea. The [[Microsoft Windows]]-based remakes, ''Ys Eternal'' and ''Ys Complete'', expand further on this and many other story elements, through both cutscenes and additional gameplay.
