So the Ys Strategy website is indeed up, but there's not much to see yet. To celebrate the opening, Marvelous has put up a wallpaper - you'll need a password from the latest Famitsu to download it. The magazine actually tells and shows much more about the game, which will be a RTS in the universe of Ys using the wireless and Wi-Fi connections of the Nintendo DS. Most of the action is dealt with on the tactile screen, the stylus cleverly replacing the usual mouse. The upper screen will display maps and status information. Four sides will be playable: Romun, Estaria, Afroca and Gria (there is no cannon romanization known for them yet). Different generals are shown too, and the red headed kid from Esteria is apparently not Adol but a look-a-like named Abel.
