The storyline of Ys III: Wanderers from Ys served as the basis of the 2005 remake Ys: the Oath in Felghana. A 40-minute soundtrack preview is streaming on Wayô Records' YouTube channel.


From the Steam product page:
A complete 3D reimagining of the 16-bit console classic "Ys III: Wanderers From Ys," Ys: The Oath in Felghana is a fast-paced action role-playing game with tight controls, Metroidvania-style exploration elements, intense combat with epic screen-filling boss battles, and a thrashing, percussive arranged soundtrack that's been heralded by many as one of the best of all time. Based on the original 2005 PC release, this classic is finally officially available in English with added Steamworks features such as achievements and cloud saving.
