Ys II: Ancient Ys Vanished - The Final Chapter (イースII Īsu Tsū?) is an action role-playing game developed and published by the Nihon Falcom Corporation, and first released on June 24, 1988 for the NEC PC-8801. It is the sequel to Ys I: Ancient Ys Vanished, and takes place immediately following the end of the first game. It was released along with its predecessor as part of the enhanced compilation, Ys I & II, for the TurboGrafx-CD in 1989. It was later adapted into the anime Ys II: Castle in the Heavens (1992).
Like its predecessor, Ys II was ported to various other platforms following its first release, such as the NEC PC-9801, X1turbo, FM-77AV, MSX2, and Famicom. It was also remade for the TurboGrafx-CD by Hudson Soft as part of Ys I & II; for many years this was the only version of Ys II that received an official English release.
An MS-DOS remake called Ys II Special, developed by Mantra, was released exclusively for the South Korean market in 1994. It was a mash-up of Ys II with the anime Ys II: Castle in the Heavens (1992) along with a large amount of new content, including more secrets than any other version of the game. The game was a success in Korea, despite competition from the Korean RPG Astonishia Story that same year.
