I do not think they fit the mg trope when the game is in continuity with Ys I & II.
* CallForward: When it comes to references to ''Ys I & II'', this game ''rides in it''.
** The very first section of the tower greets the players with an orchestral rendition of the classic "Tower of the Shadow of Death" as its theme, much like the first part of the Tower of Darm in ''Ys I''.
** Rico is first met in a room that can only be accessed when the door is visible by the Mask of Eyes, similar to how Adol used it in ''Ys I''.
** A trap still at the starting section of the tower stops the player character from progressing and throws them in a different part of that tower section. Like Adol in ''Ys I'', they need the Blue Pendant to nullify the trap.
** The characters communicate with their superiors through the Lila Shell, much like Adol did in ''Ys II''.
** Hugo's way of getting around the Devil's Corridor is the same as Adol did in ''Ys I'': [[spoiler:finding a hammer and using it to break one of the pipe pillars so that the demonic sound stops permeating the area.]]
** All of the bosses from ''Ys I & II'', with the exception of Petrorex, Tyalmath and Druegar, are bosses in this game, although some of them are pretty much InNameOnly, like Khonsclard.
** Yunica goes through a quest to unpetrify [[spoiler:her partners]], not unlike what Adol had to do for the petrified villagers in ''Ys II''.
** The Hall of Reflection is an entire area based around two floors added in the Eternal version of ''Ys I'', complete with its own rendition of "Dreaming". Similarly, the player character needs a particular rod to be able to pass between the mirrors.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ysorigin.jpg]]
'''Ys Origin''' is an ActionRPG {{Prequel}} of the ''VideoGame/{{Ys}}'' franchise, developed and published by Creator/{{Falcom}} and was released on UsefulNotes/MicrosoftWindows in Japan on December 21, 2006, while Creator/XSEEDGames published the localization and released it on May 31, 2012 for UsefulNotes/{{Steam}}. ''Origin'' was also ported to the UsefulNotes/PlayStation4 on February 12, 2017, the UsefulNotes/PlayStationVita on May 30, 2017, the UsefulNotes/XboxOne on April 11, 2018 and the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch on October 1, 2020.
Taking place seven hundred years before the events of ''VideoGame/YsIAncientYsVanishedOmen'', the ancient "Kingdom of Ys" on the island of Esteria is led by the twin goddesses Reah and Feena. Through the "Black Pearl", a powerful artifact that gave rise to the kingdom, its citizens can use magic and perform miracles. When demons suddenly encroach upon the land, bringing swift devastation, the goddesses use the Black Pearl to raise Ys into the sky in order to stave off the demonic threat. Unfortunately, the beasts began constructing the giant "Darm Tower" where they continue launching their assault.
As war continues between the survivors of Ys and the demons, the goddesses seemingly disappear, taking with them the Black Pearl back to the surface. The "Six Priests of Ys", the goddesses' servants, task a search party of knights and sorcerers to secure Reah and Feena's safety and bring them back. However, the only place the goddesses could have went to is none other than the Darm Tower.
''Ys Origin'' retains the 3D game-play used in ''VideoGame/YsVITheArkOfNapishtim'' and ''VideoGame/YsTheOathInFelghana''. As a chronological {{Prequel}}, it is the first game to not feature Adol Christin as the game's protagonist (outside of bonus game modes like Time Attack and Arena Mode). Instead, three characters and their respective stories serve as the overarching narrative of ''Ys Origin'':
* Yunica Tovah: Granddaughter to Priest Tovah, one of the Six Priests of Ys, she is the ancestor of Goban Tovah from ''Ys I''. Armed with a battle axe, Yunica cannot use magic, but will acquire magical weapons that contain spells that can be cast. Her game-play is reminiscent of Adol's from ''The Ark of Napishtim'' and ''The Oath in Felghana''.
* Hugo Fact: A magic-user who launches magic missiles with aid from magical {{Attack Drone}}s, he is the ancestor to ''Ys I'' BigBad Dark Fact.
* "The Claw": A mysterious white-haired warrior who has joined with the demons, wielding WolverineClaws, and is pursuing the twin goddesses.

'''Ys Origin''' is an ActionRPG {{Prequel}} of the ''VideoGame/{{Ys}}'' franchise, developed and published by Creator/{{Falcom}} and was released on UsefulNotes/MicrosoftWindows in Japan on December 21, 2006, while Creator/XSEEDGames published the localization and released it on May 31, 2012 for UsefulNotes/{{Steam}}. ''Origin'' was also ported to the UsefulNotes/PlayStation4 on February 12, 2017, the UsefulNotes/PlayStationVita on May 30, 2017, the UsefulNotes/XboxOne on April 11, 2018 and the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch on October 1, 2020.
Taking place seven hundred years before the events of ''VideoGame/YsIAncientYsVanishedOmen'', the ancient "Kingdom of Ys" on the island of Esteria is led by the twin goddesses Reah and Feena. Through the "Black Pearl", a powerful artifact that gave rise to the kingdom, its citizens can use magic and perform miracles. When demons suddenly encroach upon the land, bringing swift devastation, the goddesses use the Black Pearl to raise Ys into the sky in order to stave off the demonic threat. Unfortunately, the beasts began constructing the giant "Darm Tower" where they continue launching their assault.
As war continues between the survivors of Ys and the demons, the goddesses seemingly disappear, taking with them the Black Pearl back to the surface. The "Six Priests of Ys", the goddesses' servants, task a search party of knights and sorcerers to secure Reah and Feena's safety and bring them back. However, the only place the goddesses could have went to is none other than the Darm Tower.
''Ys Origin'' retains the 3D game-play used in ''VideoGame/YsVITheArkOfNapishtim'' and ''VideoGame/YsTheOathInFelghana''. As a chronological {{Prequel}}, it is the first game to not feature Adol Christin as the game's protagonist (outside of bonus game modes like Time Attack and Arena Mode). Instead, three characters and their respective stories serve as the overarching narrative of ''Ys Origin'':
* Yunica Tovah: Granddaughter to Priest Tovah, one of the Six Priests of Ys, she is the ancestor of Goban Tovah from ''Ys I''. Armed with a battle axe, Yunica cannot use magic, but will acquire magical weapons that contain spells that can be cast. Her game-play is reminiscent of Adol's from ''The Ark of Napishtim'' and ''The Oath in Felghana''.
* Hugo Fact: A magic-user who launches magic missiles with aid from magical {{Attack Drone}}s, he is the ancestor to ''Ys I'' BigBad Dark Fact.
* "The Claw": A mysterious white-haired warrior who has joined with the demons, wielding WolverineClaws, and is pursuing the twin goddesses.

Toal Fact is basically one of the more important characters in the Ys universe overall, what with his ties to the books-pretty important themselves one can say-and the fact without his sword Adol would have gotten nowhere.]]
* GuineaPigFamily: [[spoiler: Cain Fact used his sons as test subjects to see how they handled being turned into demons in order to see if he himself can handle demonic energy before fusing himself with the Black Pearl and becoming Darm.]]
* HeroicBSOD: Yunica enters one after [[spoiler:failing to prevent Feena from getting captured]].
* HeroicSacrifice:
** In Yunica's arc in ''Origin'', [[spoiler:Roy]] does one to save the former from a trap set up by Zava.
** A sizable part of Toal's arc in ''Origin'' is [[spoiler: Toal and Reah]] each trying to make one on behalf of the other. [[spoiler:Reah succeeds]].
* HopelessBossFight: The mid-level boss fights of Guilty Fire level of ''Origin'' for Yunica and Hugo's route's are intended to be unbeatable. You ''can'' beat them if you level up enough, but all you get out of it is an achievement slightly different scene after the battle (which has the same net effect on the plot).
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:Happens to Dalles at the end of Toal's story in ''Ys Origin'' by Cain Fact.]]
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Hugo's main issue with Toal in ''Ys Origin''. [[spoiler:In Toal's route, it turns out that Toal was aware of Hugo's talent in magic and turned down the position of the heir of the Fact family so Hugo, who is more talented, can become the heir.]]
* ItemCrafting: ''Origin'' has weapons getting enhanced with Cleria and armor getting blessed with Spiritual Power.
* LongSongShortScene:''Origin'' has a jazzy remix of the song "Tension", whose original version played on the upper floors of Darm Tower in the first game. As opposed to how its original appearance saw it used instead of "Tower of the Shadow of Death" further up the tower (thus giving it plenty of usage), ''Origin'' has its version used for a single boss fight.
%%* NameOfCain: [[spoiler:Needless to say, he is evil.]]
* OneManArmy: [[spoiler:Toal]] considering [[spoiler:he, along with Saul Tovah, fought against the entire army of demons in order to earn time for the palace of Ys to float.]]
%%* OneWingedAngel: Dalles [[spoiler:and Cain Fact]] in ''Ys Origin'', unlike most examples, the latter remains a demon to his death.
%%* QuirkyMinibossSquad: Kishgal and Epona in ''Origin'';
* SelfRecoverySurprise: Pictimos in Ys Origin will consume it's generated mooks to regain health. In addition, it regains its full health in the battle against Hugo.
%%* {{Stripperific}}: Epona's outfit in ''Origin''.
* ShoutOut: One roo in ''Ys: Origin'' is named Rootkit, a type of [[ComputerVirus malware]].
* SlippySlideyIceWorld: ''Ys Origin''[='=]s fourth area is actually a Slippy Slidey ''[[ShiftingSandLand Sand]]'' World. And it doesn't really make any more sense in context.
* SwordOfPlotAdvancement: The Cleria Sword in ''Origin'' (which the ending reveals to be the Silver Sword that appears in ''Ys I'') is the only weapon that can defeat the final boss in Toal's route. Fortunately, it's given to you automatically right before that battle.
* TrueFinalBoss: [[spoiler:Cain Fact in Ys Origin, who only appears when you defeat Dalles as Toal, after unlocking Toal.]]
* UnknownRival: In ''Ys Origin'', Rico Gemma is surprised to learn that a Roo also knows how to strengthen weapons with Cleria ore. Hilariously, he declares that he won't lose to them in performing this function, though the Roo most likely has no idea who he is.
* UnspokenPlanGuarantee: Painfully subverted in ''Origin''. Toal's plan [[spoiler:to destroy the Black Pearl]] will mean his certain death. Reah's plan [[spoiler:to seal the Black Pearl]] will cause her and Feena to lose their powers and slumber for centuries. Partway through the game, Toal finds a third option that doesn't require one of them to make a HeroicSacrifice for the sake of the other, but doesn't explains what it is. After the final battle, [[spoiler: Reah implements her plan, with Toal lying wounded and exhausted from his battle with Darm/Cain Fact on the floor, begging her not to,]] leaving the third option forever unspoken and unexecuted.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Hugo Fact in ''Origin'' is partially motivated by the high expectations that his father set for him. [[spoiler:Downplayed with Toal Fact, who broke away from the family teachings, but tells his father that he wishes they can someday reconcile their differences. Unfortunately for Hugo and Toal, their father is a self-serving {{Jerkass}} who sees them more as tools than family, meaning they'll never gain his respect.]]
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In Yunica and Hugo's routes in ''Origin'', the ultimate fate of some characters is never mentioned (Toal and Epona in Yunica's, Kishgal in Hugo's).
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Dalles from ''Ys Origin''. His hair color is slightly blue but he has the personality down pat.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: [[spoiler:After the demonic essence Dalles gave to Hugo Fact is activated, he literally goes mad with power.]] The latter's speech also becomes messed up and is indicated in the English translation with unusual capitalization. Fortunately, it goes away after [[spoiler:Epona]] snaps [[spoiler:him]] out of it. Subverted with [[spoiler:Toal, who despite having the demonic essence manages to hold onto his sanity through [[HeroicWillPower sheer willpower]].]]
* YouKilledMyFather: Unusually for this trope, Yunica didn't know about this until Kishgal ''told her'' that he had killed her father.
