Greetings!
This is a walkthrough+manual (^^) for Falcom's Ys Eternal, the
remake of Ys I for Windows 9x. Please note that the following writeups
on menus, dialogue, and such are based on the TAIWANESE VERSION of the
game & because of this, there MAY BE some minor differences between what
you read here and what is encountered in the Japanese or Korean versions.
And speaking about languages, if you don't have C, J, or KWin9x and
you're wondering how to get the text working in game, please take a
look at the TROUBLESHOOTING section of this document. ^_^
Disclaimer:
I am NOT an expert in reading and understanding Chinese and because of
this, some translations and narrations of dialogue and situations may be
a bit inaccurate. But hey, the GIST of what's said is there. ^^;;; Now,
having said all this, this walkthrough DOES indeed contain spoilers. >P
Oh, and feel free to distribute this document but please do not charge
money for it. XP And don't offer ME any money either -- not that I won't
appreciate it but it's just that this walkthrough wasn't written for
obtaining profit. =P
My Plug (=D):

Remember to visit here~! 'Tis your source for newest walkthrough revisions
and Ys Eternal as well as Ys II Eternal stuff. =B Also, if you have any
questions regarding where to purchase Ys Eternal and the like, this is also where
you want to go. >P

If you've played any Ys games before, much of this will probably be a
review for you except the whole thing about the Option menu and the
experience system (thus the parentheses around Eternal). XP This
part is really for the benefit of those who either don't or can't
read the game manual. ^^;;
Okei, for those who have never played ANY Ys games before, the character
you control is Adol Christin (like in every Ys game). This is a solo
adventure but there will be one instance where someone will be
following Adol around. ^^;
Please, if this really is your first time playing an Ys games, be sure
to review the Combat section as Ys doesn't exactly feature the most typical
RPG fighting engine. ^^;;;
*** The Hotkeys ***
-- Ye Olde Mouse --
This first part deals with the mouse so this doesn't really fall under the
"hotkeys" category. But hey, I need some place to talk about mouse
manipulation. XP
If you choose to travel Esterior with your mouse, note that an arrow will
be on the screen. It's there to let you move Adol where you want him to
move. =P Now what about the mouse buttons?
| Left-mouse button |
For walking - hold onto the button.
For running - double-click and HOLD onto the button
Select - click once on the item, option, etc.
Menu - move the cursor down to the bottom of the screen. For
information on the menu, see In-Game Menus below.
| Right-mouse button |
Use item - if you have selected a usable item in your inventory, hit the
right mouse button to use it.
Cancel - while in a subscreen, hitting this button will return you to
the game.
-- Ye Olde Keyboard --
Note that once the computer detects that you're using the keyboard to move
Adol, the movement arrow will disappear.
For walking - the directional keys or the numberpad. Just hold the button
and Adol will walk. ^-^
For running - quickly hit the directional or numberpad key twice and hold.
Use item - Enter/Return key. Enter/Return is also your typical key for
selecting answers, options, arming Adol, etc. ^_^
Cancel - when in a subscreen, hit ESC or 0 on the numberpad to get out
of it.
Read Book - If you even ONE Book of Ys, hit R and you can ... attempt to
read it. =P (See the walkthrough for details on how you can
get Adol-kun to read the text in the Book(s).)
Load - F1
Save - F2
Equipment - F3, E, or * on the numberpad
Inventory - F4, I, or + on the numberpad
Status - F5 or S
Option - F6 or O
Frame Rate - Alt+F8 (Indeed, you can have the joy of knowing what frame
rate you are travelling at. =P)
Quit Game - Alt+F4 (Ech, standard Windows shortcut)
You can also do Alt+Tab which allows you to go back to the Windows desktop
and other Win apps that you might be running. Another standard Windows
shortcut.
*** Option ***
This menu is accessed by:
a) selecting the 3rd/last option you see on the title screen
b) selecting the 4th option you see on the screen after you hit ESC while
in-game
c) selecting Option while the mouse cursor is on the bottom of the screen
d) hitting O or F6 while in-game
Erm, on every screen, there will be this one option that is identical --
it's the Back option which returns you to the previous screen. =P In all
the Option sub-menus, it's the LAST option.
