So.
I'm getting ready to liquidate a butt-ton of 40k crap, and I've been considering using the proceeds to supplement my usual 'buy an old RPG and add it to the Backlog of Glory' antics. After a bit of deliberation I've been thinking about going ahead and snagging Tales of Destiny and Tales of Destiny II (I know it's really Tales of Eternia, yay Trademarks) for the Playstation. Then I did some research and found out that both of these games fetch well over US$100, typically at least US$130-$150. Just what the hell makes these two so special? There's absolute loads of RPGs for the console and era, in all levels of fame vs. obscurity that go for half that or less. Did they receive short production runs? Were they cult hits even among a genre of cult hits?
