Alright, so that's Celceta beaten. Got all the memories (which was easier than I thought it'd be) and map completion was at 99.3%, and I have no idea what area I'm missing as everything looks complete. I don't really feel like combing over the whole map at the moment looking for what is probably a side path to complete it, so I'm going to call this done.
Origin/I/II/Celceta spoilers follow: So, Dogi is in two of Adol's memories - he says he's going to take some Doctor back to some area that I don't recall off the top of my head, which explains his absence throughout Celceta. Were Adol and Dogi travelling with someone from Esteria after the events of II? Maybe that'll get explained in Felghana, which I'll boot up later today (been years since I played it, and it was my first Ys game, so I certainly don't recall plot details).
So Eldeel was another kinda god like the goddesses, then? I kept waiting for there to be some explicit tie in to Reah and Feena but it never really happened, save for Eldeel seeming to be aware of the events of Ys I and II, and even that was a passing reference.
Was Karna from the same tribe as Epona from Origin? Their designs were somewhat similar and "Darklings" are referenced in this game... does that mean people from Celceta left hundreds of years before to pull down Ys and kick off the whole series?
Who was Frieda's ex? I thought Druda might have been him, but it's implied to be someone else, who as far as I can tell is never named or shown. Maybe he shows up in a later game?
I really enjoyed Celceta, like all the others so far. If I had to rank them so far, it'd be:
1. Origin
2. Celceta
3. Ys 1
4. Ys 2
But to be clear, I really enjoyed all these games, so it's not like I'm saying Ys 2 is bad or anything. I know I really enjoyed Felghana all those years ago, so I'm looking forward to playing that again (and being able to jump, which I sorely missed, frankly).
