Not like Yakuza leaves Japan anyway.

Yea that's a disappointment. :/  I'll just have to import the Japanese version and put all those years of watching anime to good use. I really like the series.

You mean it's like final fantasy where you collect  yellow and a blue chocobos,put them together and get little green birds as result.

Sort of, only you collect women and asexually reproduce with them to make children who you then force to fight monsters.

Quick question that will determine my decision to purchase:

Do you need to play Ys I &II, Seven, and the other PSP one to understand the story in Memories of Celceta? is this series like FF and Tales where each one is more or less unique to one another, or do they have a concurrent world and story?

Also, for all the complaints I've offered, Vita has a few real good games coming out this holiday, including Rayman, Ys, Killzone, and Tearaway, as well as multiplatform games. I think that may actually be one of the Vita's strengths, that it can play PS3 games with ease. It means it lacks exclusives, but it has a tonne of software, regardless. Rayman is a perfect example.

Not really. All you need to know is that Adol is a helpful little guy and Dogi hates walls. Each game is pretty much a self contained episode in Adol's life.

Each Ys is self-contained enough that you can start at any point without needing to know much else. You won't be confused.

Yakuza will come to Vita - in some form - eventually. But I don't think Ishin is a Vita game. It looks too good; even if those are bullshots.

And nice Killzone review!

Nice Killzone review from OPM!

To be fair, the European Official magazines are far less "bought" than the 4-6 page adverts that the US Official magazines tend to roll out as reviews.

You don't have to, but I highly recommend you play the others. There's a lot of references and shared characters.
