Memories of Celceta is identified by Nihon Falcom as the 4th canonical game in the series, after they had outsourced the development of Ys IV: Mask of the Sun and Ys IV: The Dawn of Ys in the 1990s. The game follows the usual series protagonist Adol Christin, who begins the game with amnesia, as he explores the forests of Celceta with his companions.

Gameplay

Gameplay of Memories of Celceta is similar to other Ys titles, as it is an action role-playing game featuring real-time combat. In addition to a standard attack button, special moves called Skills can be utilized by pressing certain button combinations. Throughout most of the game, the main protagonist Adol is accompanied by Duren, but other party members also join at different times. Each member has a specific attack type classified into three types: Slash, Strike, and Pierce. Some enemies are weak against a certain type of attack and are resistant to the other two; other enemies have no particular weakness and thus any attack type is effective. A maximum of three characters can be used at a time, and can be switched on-the-fly. Each character has a powerful move called an EXTRA move that can only be used when the meter is filled. Various accessories can be equipped giving various passive bonuses. The eight different statistics of weapons and armor can be customized by reinforcing with different minerals, plant and animal materials. Furthermore, players can attempt to parry attacks, evade them shortly before the attack lands, or take a defensive stance to reduce damage taken. A successful parry is known as a flash guard, nullifies only the parried hit's damage, earns skill points, and turns any successful ripostes into critical attacks. A successful evasion shortly before they would land is known as a flash move, makes the party temporarily invincible, and slows down the enemy. Also, the game makes use of both the touchscreen and rear touch pad to provide useful features.
