This Silver Anniversary Edition of Ys: Memories of Celceta is quite nice. The box is big with a metallic embossed logo, about 4 DVD cases in width and slightly taller than the average game case by at least half an inch. It includes the game in a standard Vita case, a 127 page book that is slightly smaller in size than the box front, a small compass in its own tuck box, a cloth map, and a 3 CD Ys music collection in a professional looking tri-fold holder.The box: Nicely printed, although the cardboard is a bit thin. The interior divider is also thin cardboard, and feels slightly cheap. But hey, I bought this for the game and the soundtrack so it doesn't matter much to me.The book: This 127 page paperback book has an embossed cover and the color printing looks good. The interior contents include a world lore section, character bios, a strategy guide with some item tables and maps, and an art section in the back. The text is written as if it's Adol's journal. I'd recommend finishing the game before really diving into it as it may ruin some of the mystery of the plot and world areas.The compass and map: They seem ok. The map is printed nicely but is a smooth polyester cloth, not natural material. These items will just stay in the box on the shelf. Again, if you look at the map it might spoil the surprise of new areas.The 3 CD soundtrack: This is really where the Silver Anniversary edition shines. This 3-disc soundtrack has a selection of music from every Ys game. Some tracks are original versions and some are arranged versions. For instance the Ys III section has both tracks from Ys III and from the Oath in Felghana, which is the newer remake of Ys III. There are a total of 64 tracks on 3 discs.- Disc 1: Ys I-III, 19 tracks- Disc 2: Ys IV-V, 26 tracks. The vast majority on this disc is, no surprise, from Memories of Celceta.- Disc 3: Ys VI, SEVEN, Origin, and 1 track from The Typing of Ys, 19 tracksThe Ys games are known for their awesome, upbeat guitar rock soundtracks and this collection doesn't disappoint. The Ys Origin tracks are particularly amazing. I would prefer a few more tracks from Ys Seven, but you can buy the Ys Seven soundtrack from the Xseed store for $5.-----------------------The Game:So far I've spent close to 10 hours in the game, and it is exactly what I wanted it to be. I mean, it's an Ys game, so it's no surprise that it's a fun, action packed RPG. Most of your time is spent exploring environments and killing monsters which nets you experience points, gold, and materials to use in upgrading your weapons and armor. Every once in a while you fight a big boss monster and move the story along.The main character, as in most Ys games, is red-haired Adol Christin, but during the game you can instantly switch between your party members by pressing the Circle button to keep fighting as the other characters. Adol uses swords and does Slash damage which certain monsters are weak to, whereas his buddy Duren fights with fist weapons and does Strike damage which other monsters are weak to. Slaying a foe with the attack type it is weak to will get you extra gold and possibly rare crafting items.Every character has a set of skills that you can unlock and level up by using. So far I have 4 skills with each character. They can be equipped to work with the R trigger + a face button of your choice. Some of them are pretty cool. If you use a skill as the final blow on an enemy you perform a Skill Finish which gives you back half of the skill mana (SP) used and some life energy.The exploration is fun and it keeps all kinds of stats in your journal for nerds like me: percentages for map completion, item completion, quest completion, number of enemies killed, aerial combos, etc. The journal keeps track of all the main story beats, active quests as well as those you've completed. Also in the journal is an extensive monster log that shows stats and materials you have acquired from them.Speaking of material drops, it's pretty rare that you don't get a drop from a kill. You get a TON of upgrade material loot. There are also harvest points in the game world (and a stat for how many harvest points you've used!) You can trade the common materials for better ones at a shop. With these materials you can add, to your weapon/armor, such effects as higher attack damage, poison chance, paralyze chance, elemental damage, etc. It's not super complex, but it's complex enough. I love stuff like this that adds depth to a game.Overall, great game and package. Really glad I bought the special edition for that soundtrack. I'm sure the book will be enjoyable after I finish the game. The Vita needs fantastic games like Ys, and I'm really grateful that Xseed localized it. If you like hack and slash action games, leveling up, and upgrading items I definitely recommend this game for your Vita.
