'''''Ys: Memories of Celceta''''', released in Japan as {{nihongo|'''''Ys: Foliage Ocean in Celceta'''''|イース セルセタの樹海|Īsu: Seruseta no Jukai}}, is an action role-playing game for the PlayStation Vita released in Japan on September 27, 2012, and in North America by [[XSEED Games]] on November 26, 2013.

A PC version followed on July 25, 2018, via Steam and GOG. The game was later enhanced for PlayStation 4 as ''Ys: Memories of Celceta - Kai'', which released in Japan on May 16, 2019. XSEED localized this remastered version for the West in June 2020. A Nintendo Switch version titled '''''Ys Memoire: Revelations in Celceta''''' was released in Japan on May 22, 2025 as '''''Ys Memoire: Memories of Celceta''''', featuring an option to switch to a newly arranged soundtrack.

''Ys: Memories of Celceta'' is the third game to be considered the canonical ''[[Ys IV]]'', but the first to be developed by Falcom themselves. Initially, {{Ys|4d}} was treated as the canonical version, as it began development first under Hudson Soft.<ref>https://x.com/snapwith/status/1333050040525357063</ref> However, in 2003, Falcom published an official timeline alongside {{Ys|6}}, recognizing {{Ys|4m}} as the canonical ''Ys IV'', since it followed Falcom’s original story plans more closely.<ref>[http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/ys-iv-dawn-of-ys-mask-of-the-sun/ Ys IV: Dawn of Ys / Mask of the Sun], ''Hardcore Gaming 101'' (Kurt Kalata, October 5, 2017)</ref>

This version of ''Ys IV'' follows series protagonist [[Adol Christin]], who, suffering from amnesia, sets out to explore the vast and mysterious land of [[Celceta]].

== Preface ==
''"Adol Christin... An adventurer of great renown, whose exploits are widely discussed and hotly debated to this day.''<br>
''His enterprises are recorded in over one hundred volumes of personal travelogues, which paint a vivid picture of the world and set the imaginations of those who read them ablaze.''<br>
''Indeed, a significant number of historians continues to believe that the Age of Discovery came about as a result of Adol's travelogues and the thirst for adventure their contents spurn.''<br>
''However, readers have often found themselves wondering at what point Adol Christin, born in a poor village high in the mountains, began referring to himself as "adventurer".''<br>
''Historians and scholars have proposed countless theories to address this, yet in truth, the answer is recorded clearly in one particular volume of Adol's travelogues...''<br>
''The adventure I am about to recount took place two years after Adol left his homeland.''<br>
''Eighteen years of age, his curiosity at its peak... Where would his thirst for the unknown guide him next, and what wonders awaited him there?''<br>
''Let us look back on the events which occurred in the Great Forest of Celceta, and share in Adol's passion for adventure and discovery."''
