Ys Origin

There are three main playable characters in the game: Yunica Tovah, a young apprentice knight; Hugo Fact, a skillful magician; and a mysterious person known as The Claw, who can be unlocked only after having completed the game with the other two.

These characters venture to the sinister Darm Tower, each having her or his own motives.

The three also vary in gameplay style: Yunica plays similarly to Adol from the previous games, specializing in melee combat with swords and axes; Hugo fires magical bullets with his staff and has access to other types of magic; The Claw is distinguished by his speed in close combat.

The game is set entirely in the Darm Tower, discarding the overworld and populated areas of the previous games.

The fast-paced action RPG gameplay is similar to the one adopted in Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim and Ys: The Oath in Felghana .

As the story progresses, characters acquire skills that can be combined in order to extend battle strategy.

Some of the bosses from the first and the second Ys re-appear in this game.

Ys Origin for Nintendo Switch is currently worth €42.67 loose, €27.68 complete in box, and €29.78 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Ys Origin has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Ys Origin, loose is €42.67 and CIB is €27.68 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of Ys Origin is currently worth €42.67 loose, versus €34.91 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
