Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light is a spin-off of the Final Fantasy series, and also the first Final Fantasy title exclusively for the Nintendo DS.
It plays much like the classic 2D entries in the series, and also features a class system, disguised as the "Crown System"; a character's class is dependent on what crown he/she wears.
The player gains these crowns during the course of the game.
The game also features a "day and night" system; as the party traverses the overworld, time flows.
This affects the game in that some stores open/closes at certain times.
It might also do various other things.
The battle system is somewhat simplistic, but also unique; Action Points, or AP, play a big part in the battles.
Each of the player-controlled characters has an AP meter, each topping at 5.
A regular attack consumes 1 AP, and magic consumes 2 or more; this also means there are no mana points in the game.
The player has the choice of either waiting a turn to gain 1 AP, or use the Boost command to gain 2 in one turn; by using the latter, the character in question cannot attack that round.
As a first in the series, the characters' appearances change depending on what weapons and armours they have equipped - as opposed to only weapons visibly changing.
The game was developed by the same team responsible for the DS remakes of Final Fantasy III and IV .
About Nintendo DS
The dual-screen, touch-enabled Nintendo DS (2004) became the best-selling handheld of all time, helped by its huge and genre-diverse library. Cartridge-based DS games have held up well physically over 20 years, and complete-in-box copies of the system's biggest sellers (Nintendogs, Pokémon, Mario Kart) remain very accessible for new collectors starting out.
Gamevaro tracks Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light for Nintendo DS with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NDS release dates back to 2010.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
