The Ys series has been quietly excellent for decades, and this edition finally gives it the physical treatment it deserves. Limited Run #82: Ys Origin Collector's Edition for the PlayStation 4 is limited to just 3,000 copies worldwide, region-free, and packaged in a spot-UV embossed big box that looks absolutely stunning on a shelf. Inside, you get the physical game with reversible cover art, a 72-page full-color English artbook featuring character profiles, illustration galleries, and opening movie art, plus an 18 x 24 inch fold-out poster.

The artbook alone is a serious piece of Ys lore. Seventy-two pages of character profiles and illustrations, properly translated, in a format you can actually sit down and read through. Ys Origin is the prequel that digs into the mythology behind the entire series, set 700 years before Adol's adventures begin.

It's a fast, satisfying action RPG with multiple playable characters and the kind of boss design that Falcom has been perfecting for decades. At 3,000 copies, this is one of the tighter Limited Run print runs for PS4, and the Ys fanbase is dedicated enough to absorb most of that supply. The combination of a premium big box, a substantial artbook, and a genuinely great game makes this a collector's edition that earns the title.
