Ys Napishtim no Hako Special Edition

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 updated features include a quick-save function, analog nub control, and faster loading times.
