2012 Together Retro Calendar

For next month (March - Y's) what option would be the best to participate with:

a) Get Y's Book I & II T16 on the Wii VC
b) Play Ys I & II Eternal on the PC with the English patches
c) Emulate the game on some other system (thinking SMS or NES on my GBA)

I'm going with Ys I & II Complete on PSP. You don't have a PSP though right? I'd think the Wii VC version should be really solid.

I do not have a PSP.
I did read that Y's I is real short, only 3 dungeons... maybe emulating that would be better so if I don't like it I can be done quicker. I say this because all of the Y's Book I & II reviews said that they are together as one longer game.
I don't know... the VC would be my preferred way since it would have the best graphics outside of the Windows ports.

So those of us who are going to play Ys I & II Chronicles (PSP Version) coming up shortly here,I have a question..

Are you/should I:
Play Ys I Chronicles Version-Which updates the game to a more modern style or Complete Version-Which is a more retro look from the Japan only PC title?

Then theres difficulty:
Easy-Ill skip this dont wanna fall asleep.
And Normal,Hard,Nightmare.

I kinda wanna try Nightmare as I liked that difficulty in Ys Seven,but this combat is different and Im not sure if that'll fustrate me?

Normal mode may be another option just in case I fall behind in playtime?

Any thoughts or ppl playing this version next month (couple days) for TR.

I decided to go with the updated visuals and soundtrack. The soundtrack can be switched anytime, but the visuals must be picked before you start.

EASY is default, so I left it as is.

you want me to change it? I just threw it in for an hour to do the TR write-up so I was just leaving all settings as they were.

Well...we recently had a discussion that you were part of in the "Games Beaten" thread about whether "easy" is really the "deafult experience" if it is auto selected on the first menu just because it is at the top of the list. I tend to think of "normal" as the default experience, and one in which they wouldn't have taken anything out/dumbed anything down.
