My previous gamer auction for Suikoden 2 was a success, and now I’m selling another to make additional room in my gaming life. This time it’s Xenogears published by Square (now known as Square-Enix) and released for the Playstation. This game isn’t nearly as rare as other JRPGS, selling over a million copies in it’s original run, but Xenogears can still sell for $40 to $50 on ebay. You can check out my auction if interested (Link removed, see below).

Xenogears features a named protagonist in Fei Fong Wong who is initially on a journey to remember his past. Yep that’s right, Square is big fans of amnesia. He of course, with a number of friends and allies must go out on a search for his origins after his village is destroyed.  Battles make use of the Action Time Battles made famous by other Square titles like Chrono Trigger. Also, the game’s story is hugely influenced by the likes of Sigmund Freud and Friedrich Nietzsche.  Several references are made to them and a few other psychologists and philosophers.

Again, this is a played copy. Unlike some collectors I play my games so it’s safe to assume it’s wrapping has been taken off. Although, I am an adult and do take care of my games, therefore, blemishes on the discs are minimal if not non-existent. If interested head to my Xenogears Ebay listing (Link removed, see below) and get your bid in. Further details are available there.

Update: This game has been sold. When I originally set up these auction pages on my blog, i didn’t anticipate people would still find the page and click over to my now completed auction. Sorry if this is a disappointment for you, however, I would still highly recommend checking out Ebay for Xenogears as there are always a number of copies of the game being sold there.

As you may know about me, I collect video games. Unfortunately, I also have limited funds and space and have been leaning more towards vintage then necessarily rare. As such I decided to sell a game I’ve had for a while in Suikoden 2 for the original Playstation. I’m not selling it here of course, it’s listed for sale on Ebay so anyone could buy it (original link removed, see below).

For those who haven’t had a chance to play it, Suikoden 2 for those who haven’t heard of it is a rare JRPG released in 1999. Due to a limited production run and little public interest during it’s release, the game has, on average, tripled its original MSRP in recent years. Since it’s release, Suikoden 2 has been one of the more highly regarded RPGs for the Playstation but it’s rarity has driven up the price. I’ve seen people pay over $300 for a sealed/unopened copy of the game.

I, of course, played my copy, so it likely won’t go for as much, and would highly recommend it to those looking for a little 90s gaming magic. Suikoden 2 best feature is by far its world. Over 100 characters can be thrown into battle, which takes place in a tactical grid style similar to Fire Emblem or Final Fantasy Tactics. Overall, it’s a nice, fun game. Also, pretty long as you’d expect from a Japanese style RPG.

Anyway, if interested head over to my Ebay listing and take a look (link removed, see below). All the details are there for those looking for a particular condition. In short, it is complete but has been played.

Update: the game has been sold already. I’ve removed the links because I didn’t want people to get frustrated heading to a finished auction listing. Of course, I’d highly recommend checking Ebay as there’s always a number of people looking to sell their copy.
