Ys IV Mask of the Sun ~a new theory~

Ys IV: Mask of the Sun - A New Theory is a remake of the original Ys IV for the Super Famicom.

It follows the story of the original, but revamps the combat to be based on a more traditional button-press system than the original game's "bump" combat, based on running into enemies off-center.

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 Ys IV Mask of the Sun ~a new theory~ 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 Ys IV Mask of the Sun ~a new theory~ 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 PS2 release dates back to 2005.

Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Ys IV Mask of the Sun ~a new theory~, 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.
