Ys X: Proud Nordics Save Data Bonus Guide – What Carries Over From Ys X: Nordics, Clear Save Data, and More

by Mikhail Madnani on 20 February, 2026

Ys X: Proud Nordics launches today in the West on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC through NIS America. Our Ys X: Proud Nordics save data guide covers what you can bring over from your original Ys X: Nordics clear save on PS5, Switch 2, and PC from the original PS4, PS5, Switch, and PC versions going over items, weapons, accessories, and much more. 

Can you transfer your progress from Ys X: Nordics to Ys X: Proud Nordics?

You can only load a clear save file from Ys X: Nordics into Ys X: Proud Nordics. You cannot load your incomplete save file or any progress you have made in Ys X: Nordics' main story into Ys X: Proud Nordics. You can however transfer over some elements into Ys X: Proud Nordics to play it with a New Game Plus feel. I cover what carries over below.

What can you carry over into Ys X: Proud Nordics from a clear save file from Ys X: Nordics

When you select the "Transfer" option from the main menu on the title screen in Ys X: Proud Nordics to carry over clear details from Ys X: Nordics abd begin a new game, you get to select the following sets of elements to carry over. You can uncheck or check as per your requirements. 

  • Lv. / Release Line / Skills: Carry over character stats and related parameters.
  • Accessory Slots (Blessed Paper Scraps): Carry over accessory slots and Blessed Paper Scraps.
  • Mana Seeds: Carry over Mana Seeds.
