Prophesied as an infant to become either "the darkness to destroy the world" or "the light which saves it", Sandra carefully watches over him and never allows him to leave Rolandia's capital city, Rosaria, or have any contact with the outside world.
However, throughout his childhood Carmaine experiences strange and vivid dreams of people and places he knows nothing about.
When at last he becomes old enough, Sandra tells him it is time to go out and explore beyond the city gates.
Accompanied by Tippi, his tiny fairy-like companion, he leaves the city to discover his destiny.
The game has a complex storyline with branching paths.
During his travels Carmaine will discover different lands and peoples.
Among them are the Growsians, humans who can wield ancient magic, and the Featherians, a winged race of people.
As the story progresses, Carmaine discovers that there are conspiratorial enemies seeking to cause trouble for the land and people.
Carmaine's personality, stats and skills are determined by answering questions at the beginning of the game.
Eventually other characters can join Carmine's party, some whose recruitment requires fulfilling certain conditions.
Romance elements are possible with some party members.
Combat between enemies and the large party of controllable characters is a mixture of real-time and turn-based styles.
Strategic battles occupy the entire location; depending upon where the battle occurs, non-party members nearby (such as townspeople, soldiers etc.) may help the party by joining in.
The 2001 Windows release of the game includes redrawn character portraits of a higher quality.
The 2009 PSP port adds several new characters as well as a new story branch and ending.
About PlayStation 2
The PlayStation 2 (2000) is the best-selling game console in history, with a library exceeding 9,000 titles that spans everything from budget shovelware to genre-defining classics. That massive volume means PS2 collecting is accessible and affordable overall, but a handful of low-print-run RPGs and cult titles have become genuinely expensive — a common pattern once a console's original audience grows up with disposable income.
Gamevaro tracks Growlanser Collection for PlayStation 2 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 Growlanser Collection 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.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Growlanser Collection, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common PlayStation 2 titles.
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.
