Why is this game so expensive?

RPG fags be on it

>>3773889
because its legitimately good and it sold like shit statewide.

>>3773889
That's nothing.. try looking at ogre battle and EVO prices

The last few RPGs that I need in my collection

>>3773889
Since when has $20 been expensive OP?

>>3773961
Perhaps OP meant with box & instructions too, because he's a collector autist who actually cares about cardboard.

>>3773975
About 5-6 years ago you COULD get a boxed copy for that much, maybe less.

...but then how do you know it's the real deal and not a Chinese reproduction

>>3773987
You just reminded me about some anon who posted about this very same game about half a year back. He bought a "sealed" copy (for $40 as I recall) and had it on display in his gameroom. Then his shithead nephew opens it only to find a freezer pack inside.

>>3773975
probably wants the t-shirt, too.

>>3773995
Can you post more details about this, I find this hilarious.

I bought my copy CIB mint condition for 15$ BIN on eBay in 2004 when I was 14 and everything was just starting to climb.

I'm just going off memory here, so no, sorry. Maybe someone who's a wizard at 4chan archives can find the post.

found it

There's your answer, OP. Illusion of Gaia is affected by a rare techno-virus which is transforming it into icepacks.

Top kek. Mint collectors deserve it.

>>3773975
>lol if you care about things I dont you are an autist

Fucking kill yourself kid.

>>3774051
Oh wow I totally forgot about the t-shirt. I haven't seen mine in ages, I'm pretty sure I wore it to tatters and tossed it.

>>3773889
Because it's a good Super Nintendo game.

>Mint collectors

Well they basically are at this point, yeah.

Boxes upon boxes full of mints and icepacks

Its not? I bought my copy two years ago for $20, has it sky rocketed or something?
>>3773909
>sold like shit
Sold 300,000 units in the US, not a household name but still.

Great game.

>Mint collectors deserve it.
pretty much this, if you're buying games with zero intentions of playing them, you really should collect something else.

>>3773909
>legitimately good

Haha, no. Play it again and try to say that. Gameplay is mediocre, dialogue is literally even worse than machine translation.

or even just soul blazer when compared to illusion of gaia. illusion of gaia's only gone up like $10 in the last 5 years.
