Three planets surrounded the Algol star and were in perfect harmony: Palma, a lush green planet, where its citizens devoted their lives to arts and the sciences; Motavia, a desert planet, inhabited by humans and native Motavians; and the enigmatic Dezolis, a harsh ice planet, where the citizens were just as unknown as the planet itself.
Unfortunately, the harmony and balance was not to last.
Palma had exploded, and with it, ninety per cent of Algol's population died.
Motavia had fallen into horrible conditions from the explosion, turning almost into a total wasteland.
The Darkness spread its hand over the land.
A thousand years have passed.
Motavia has healed somewhat, and life is beginning to return to the way it once was many years ago.
The Hunter's Guild on Motavia helps to keep things steady.

Phantasy Star IV is a Japanese-style role-playing game with top-down world map exploration, random enemy encounters, and turn-based combat.
The gameplay of the fourth entry in the series is similar to that of the second installment , sharing notable features such as the ability to equip two weapons at once, most of the "techniques" (equivalent to magic spells in comparable games), etc.
The dungeons are noticeably less maze-like than in Phantasy Star II .
Player-controlled party may include up to five active combatants.
As before, leveling up and technique-learning is automatic, save for android characters, whose abilities are found in treasure chests in the dungeons.

About Nintendo Switch
Released in 2017, the Nintendo Switch became one of the best-selling consoles of all time thanks to its hybrid handheld/docked design. Its cartridge-based physical format (as opposed to discs) has made complete-in-box collecting popular again, with certain limited print runs and Nintendo-published exclusives already commanding a premium on the secondhand market just a few years after release.
Gamevaro tracks Phantasy Star for Nintendo Switch 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 Phantasy Star 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 NSW release dates back to 1987.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
