Got this from the Ancient Land of Ys boards, an interesting little article on Falcom

Yep.

They don't push out gimmicky horse crap.  Their games play today just like they would on a PC88.

Which number is this in the series?  Looking forward to it.

It's 4, released as Dawn of Ys on the Turbo, Mask of the Sun on the SNES, & Mask of the Sun: A New Theory on PS2.  There was also Genesis & X68000 versions that never got released.  All of them have variations on the story, but with most of the same characters(Arem, AFAIK is only in Dawn of Ys & the X68000 game).
