About Legacy of Ys: Books I & II
Stories tell of a land of yore, now shrouded by centuries of time forgotten, called Ys. Despite its great knowledge, endless wealth, and bountiful prosperity, a sudden and unexpected cataclysm devastated the realm. Soon, its memory had faded completely from the minds of man.

Centuries later, a young adventurer named Adol set sail to explore the world and leave his mark on history. During his travels, he learned of the tragic tale of Esteria, a once prosperous island now inexplicably engulfed by a crippling storm. Adol plotted a course for the besieged isle, curious to unravel the mystery...

How come the opening movie in book 1 is squashed? I compared it to the same video in the Japanese version Ys DS and that one wasn't squashed... did Atlus squash it during localisation? It looks like a 16:9 video that's just been squashed to fit the DS screen.

I got this today, its such a good remake, being able to actually attack monsters by pressing a button is much better then running into them like you do on the original Book I and II on TG16
