Update: February 1, 2007
«©NCSX» A little over a year after Konami shipped Ys Napishtim no Hako on the Japanese Playstation Portable, the company releases a "Special Edition" to market... at full price. Re-releases and S.E. variants are normally priced at a significant discount off the original game's retail price but Konami forges ahead in unblinking fashion. Essentially, the special edition of Ys Napishtim no Hako is the USA localization of the game re-released for the Japanese market. The updated features in the game are:» New "Sealed Cavern" dungeon. To get there, find the Rehdan Feather and then visit Olha in Rehdan Village. » Ark of Napishtim hero and heroine database of key characters. » Ys Media Player which contains BGM and cinemas that have been unlocked during normal gameplay. » Trial Mode aka Sealed Cavern mini-games where players endeavor to obtain more emelas, gold, or experience. A password based ranking mode is also included for the Trial Mode and the Time Attack mode. Other features include a quick-save function, analog nub control, and faster loading times.

NCS Game Synopsis
«©NCSX» Siblings Isha and Olha are relaxing at the Moonset Shore when Olha spies a piece of red-topped detritus that has washed ashore. Upon closer inspection, she realizes that it's an Eresian. An armor-wearing Eresian named Adol Christian. She tells her sister Isha to keep an eye on the stranger while she notifies the village of the drifter. Silva and Largo eventually carry the unconscious Adol into town on the beck of Olha. After Adol awakens from his slumber and introductions are made, he tells of how his ship was attacked by Romun vessels and then by the Great Vortex which spun him like driftwood and discharged him onto the beach. Olha introduces herself as a Priestess and answers Adol's first batch of questions which help him get his bearings. After meeting the other folk in Olha's village, Adol ventures off in another adventure where he wanders around Canaan, befriends Olha and Isha, and battles against powers great and small... Adol's attacks are shown in real time action where the red-headed hero swings, jumps, and dash-attacks in full motion action sequences. In addition to conventional attacks, Adol may also perform a downward thrust and learn new sword skills such as the Extended Wind Attack and the Extended Lightning Attack. Elemental swords also allow Adol to launch special magical attacks such as cyclones and lightning. The PSP version of Ys: The Ark of Napishtim includes a normal and a hard difficulty level for players of varying skill. There's also a Boss Time Attack mode and mini-games to enjoy.
