About this game
This direct sequel to Arc the Lad continues the unfinished story of the first game, but starts from a totally different perspective.
You control a bounty-hunter named Elk, who suffers from amnesia.

On his quest for his own true identity he discovers the powers hidden within him, and the destiny of his entire tribe.
While pursuing his archenemy, Elk meets up with Arc, the hero of the first game, and then both realize they have been looking to destroy the very same evil.
The battle system of Arc the Lad II is similar to the one used in its predecessor: in battles you can move your characters on the battle field, and your proximity to the enemies plays an important role.
You cause and take different amounts of damage depending on your position on the battle field.
Unlike the first game, this one is a full-fledged RPG, without the "strategy" feel of the predecessor.
You move through the game world on your own, visiting towns and exploring dungeons.
About PlayStation
The original PlayStation (1994) brought CD-based gaming and 3D graphics to the mainstream, ending Nintendo's console dominance of the previous two generations. It's now firmly in "retro collecting" territory: original jewel cases with intact manuals command a real premium over disc-only copies, and several RPGs from its later years (when Sony deliberately courted the genre) are among the most expensive commonly-collected games from the era.
Gamevaro tracks Arc the Lad II for PlayStation 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 Arc the Lad II 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 PS1 release dates back to 1996.
