When we released our official novelization of Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana, fans from all over the world approached us asking if we are also planning to release an audiobook, and asking about all the side quests and supporting characters that did not make it into the final novel.
We listened! And now we are proud to present you our new collection, including the official novelization audiobook, narrated by celebrated and award-winning voice actors, a companion book containing all the major side quests — and even a cookbook, written directly by Ys VIII characters (with minimal help from our team).
Better yet, we are also releasing a collectors set, containing all these new books and several fan-favorite extras, including the authentic replica of Thanatos’s message in a bottle (along with the precious gem as transporter’s payment), a canvas print of Austin’s timeless portrait of Adol (for the skeptics, we honestly believe Austin will be the next Picasso some day), Guardian of Evolution tattoos (feel like the brightest soul of your species with this adornment), bookmarks, and cards, all packed into a collectible Ys VIII chest!
