More or less, he says they had talks about doing their own Celceta Ys for +10 years (previous ones were by other companies based on Falcom's ideas), and now with the 25 anniversary jumped to the chance.
At the beginning the staff deliberately didn't play or consider Ys IV(s) to avoid preconceptions (evidently Kondo had already). Only halfway through the development when things were more set they started to add feedback (memorable scenes, voice actors, arrangements, etc).
The music is meant to be a mix of old and new.

No idea about the "Ys 8" or "directors were clueless" parts.


Since Falcom didn't make any Ys IV, I guess they "can't" remake them? It's clear they want it to be their own thing, inviting to new users, and with the right amount of nostalgia too.


EDIT: Celceta > PC YsIV

The rest (1.01, 1.12, 1.13, 1.15, 1.16, 2.01, 2.05, 2.08, 2.09, 2.14, 2.15, 2.17) are new (only ones arranged by Jindo and co.)
