"Captivating"
Faithful to the Falcom spirit, the music unleashes an energetic rock with flamboyant electric guitars that galvanise every fight. Re-orchestrated with brio, the nervy themes embrace the speed of Adol's action with an infectious punch. This supercharged sonic identity remains one of the most beloved in the series.
Gameplay

"From the very first minutes"
Addictiveness
"Obsessive"
Carving through monsters at full speed, dodging the attacks of oversized bosses and picking up levels and items sets up an action loop where each cleared zone calls for the next. The fast power growth and memorable bosses chain short goals and rewards. The difficulty bites, but the breakneck pace and the high-octane soundtrack keep a fearsomely stubborn hold.
Complete: box, manual and disc/cart very clean. Lightly handled.

Collector interest
The Western localization of Oath in Felghana by XSEED, a venerated Falcom action RPG made in very low volume, become one of the priciest and most hunted PSP UMDs. Its appeal lies in acute physical scarcity combined with a reputation for excellence, propelling a complete copy to the top of the price scale. A major target for collectors of action J-RPGs in the West.
An underrated gem
A remake of a Falcom classic, this adventure throws Adol into real-time battles of exhilarating intensity, carried by a legendary rock soundtrack and a pace without a dull moment. Too obscure outside circles of the initiated, it stays unknown to the mainstream. One of the PSP's best action-RPGs, tailored for thrill-seekers.
Is Ys - The Oath in Felghana still worth playing in 2026?
Ys - The Oath in Felghana, known as Felghana no Chikai in Japan, brings Adol and Dogi back to Felghana under a tyrannical count's grip, in a brisk, demanding Ys. Real-time combat with magic and jumping, formidable bosses and the Falcom Sound Team's rock soundtrack make this remake one of the most accomplished Ys. An absolute series peak.
