For the money I spent to get the complete collection I definitely would not recommend this title I had to go through three different buyers just to get the little Trinkets and compared to lunar and lunar 2 the complete silver collection this is really not as good as some of these other collection additions the number of games is certainly impressive! I just really think they could have went a little out of their way to make the trinkets a little bit more for the collection Fair they are made of plastic with a very nice leather bound instruction manual but besides that nothing much to scream about! So with that said it is what it is I definitely think I ever paid for what I had to get but hey that is a collector's life to those getting it unless you are a real big fan I would skip this one!

When I saw this game on the selves I bought two sealed right away, cause I knew this was going to to be worth its' weight in gold some day and I was right. I recently bought a Used copy to play for myself, and it has everything an old classic RPG back for the PSX should have besides different weapons, armor, towns, money, ect. The opition to convert Arc the Lad 1 game save into Arc the Lad 2 is sorta cool, seeing how short Arc 1 is, and only being allowed to go up to Level 60.... Working Design was a great company that knew what US gamers wanted and imported a few classic and huge hits.... Lunar Series, Arc the Colelction, Glowriders Generations, ect.Thet outdo themselves by adding extras to jack up the price, but worth the price.
As an RPG fan since the early days of the SNES I have grown accostomed to games like Final Fantasy and Squaresoft constantly being the top company when dealing with RPGs. After many years with this impression I heard of a (to me) new set of games coming out soon for PS1. After getting the money I was able to buy myself a brand new copy at $80 at a local store. The first game is a bit slow running, but is essential if you want to use your save data to transfer over to the second game. This is an idea I have had for years by this point, to make a series of games where your save data could transfer from the first to the next and so on. I was extremely surprised to see someone actually take that into account and use it. Starting with the second game the story gets extremely exciting and, without revealing anything, I can tell you that if you play this game you are in for one hell of a good time. The battles are challenging, the characters are memorable, and the story line is unbeaten even by final fantasy standards. Then you get done with 2 and start playing 3. By the Gods I have never laughed so hard at any RPG character consistantly! Lutz is (true to his name) a serious clutz and really funny. And this third game does nothing but bring all of the events from the previous 2 to a close and ends with a very very good ending (for lack of a better word). All in all I have to strongly say that These three Arc The Lad games are by far the best RPGs ever released, even over Final Fantasy 7 (which to me isn't the best in that series, but that's for another review). Don't waste your time with the PS2 Arc The Lad games though, they are nowhere near as good.Read full review
I would recommend to any videogame collector to have Arc The Lad Collection in their's. Not only do you get 4 games in one set, you get the top-notch presentation of a Working Designs Package, with a full color hardbound instruction manual, special collector's box, and 3 Bonus items! You get an Arc The Lad Memory Card holder, Analog button covers, and mini standees. Granted I will never use the button covers or standees, but are an added incentive and makes the package that much more collectible. Not to mention 4 high quality games with tweaked interfaces by Working Designs to make the games seamless and a more enjoyable experience. Now that Working Designs is no more, there is a good chance we will NEVER see another release of these games in the United States, which is another excellent reason to purchase this game now, before the price gets any higher!Read full review
A classic game, great value and replay value.
