Oh look, I'm shilling Falcom games again.
Anyhow, Ys Oath in Felghana has been released in English on Steam today for $15 and the game was one of the finest action RPG experiences I had in 2007 (Japanese PC ver). Not to mention the satisfaction of watching myself going from dying 10 times on the first boss on Normal difficulty to finishing the game on Inferno difficulty and beating the hidden bosses in a progression of skill.
Oh, and dat soundtrack
Ys Origin is coming out later this year for Steam and all signs point to most of Falcom's PC catalog being fair game after that.
