Description

After having defeating the ultimate evil in his previous adventure, the great hero Adol stands on a sea shore, thinking about the fate of once peaceful Utopian land of Ys, while the wind is blowing at his read hair. Suddenly, Adol notices a bottle that was thrown onto the shore. It is a letter written in a foreign language. An unknown person asks Adol to come to his land and to save it from a mysterious evil. Adol decides to accept the offer, and thus his adventure begins again...
