A few months later after the game's initial release, a tweaked expert version was released. This version included tougher enemies, a time attack mode, as well as a new dungeon to explore.
The remake for the Playstation 2 utilizes 3D background graphics, similarly to Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim. It also adds voice-overs to the dialogue. The player character can jump and defend with the shield, and magic system has been re-designed, requiring the player to equip various stones on swords to execute spells.
