Our take

A PlayStation 2 RPG with a small following. Hard to come by, priced close to its collector value and expected to rise. A strong pick for collectors.

How easy is it to find

It came out with a standard print run and has never been reprinted. Copies take some looking for, and collector demand is niche. Copies are few, but so are the buyers, so patience usually pays.

What it’s worth

A sealed North American copy is valued at around £56, with recent prices between £39 and £73. A used copy is around £30, between £18 and £39. MyPlayersVault puts its collector value at about £58 sealed and £31 used, close to what it sells for. These are estimated values with high confidence.

Where prices are heading

Its value has been steady and collector interest is growing. MyPlayersVault’s three-year projection points up: sealed to around £121 (about 116% higher) and used to around £60. If you want one, buying sooner may cost less than buying later. Projections are estimates, not promises.

Which region to buy

The game came out first in the UK and Europe (24 November 2000), then Japan (27 May 2004) and North America (28 June 2005). Of the releases analysed on MyPlayersVault, the North American one is the cheapest both sealed (£56) and used (£30). It scores highest in its UK/PAL release (77). PlayStation 2 games are region-locked, so an import usually needs a console from the same region.

What to check before buying

For sealed copies, look closely at the wrap: a resealed copy is worth less than a true factory-sealed one.
For used copies, check the disc for scratches and make sure the manual and any inserts are there.

Verdict

STRONG PICK · Vault Score 74

Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana is a strong collector pick. It’s hard to come by and priced close to its collector value, with an upward outlook. For collectors, a sealed copy at around £56 is the one to aim for; a used copy at around £30 is the cheaper way in.
