Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim

Adol's ship has been attacked, and he loses his consciousness.

After a while, he wakes up on a sea shore, rescued by the Rehda, elf-like people who live in a small village.

Soon he becomes involved in a quest for mysterious treasure hidden somewhere on nearby islands, and has to face an ambitious empire officer who will not tolerate any rivals on his hunt.

The Ark of Napishtim is an action role-playing game set (for the first time in the series) in a fully 3D environment.

The game world is seamless, with transitional overworld areas connecting dungeons and settlements.

Much of the game takes place in hostile areas, where the protagonist engages in fast-paced action combat against regular enemies and bosses.

Like its immediate predecessor, the game abandons the "bumping" combat style of the earlier installments, opting instead for the more common active combat.

Adol can execute regular attacks and jump, as well as combine those for upward and downward slashes, dash attacks, and longer jumps.

Experience points and money are awarded for defeating enemies, and leveling up is fully automatized.

Armor and accessories can be found in treasure chests or purchased.

There are only three swords during the game, each corresponding to a particular element.

Each sword comes with its own unique magic spell.

These swords can be leveled up in a specific workshop by spending blue crystals known as "emel", which are dropped by enemies.

As the swords level up their attack power increases, and their respective magic spells gain levels and become more damaging as well.

Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim for PC is currently worth €17.99 loose. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim has only a handful of tracked market sales, suggesting relative scarcity compared to more common PC titles.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. These are tracked as separate market values because the price gap between them can be significant, especially for older releases.

The PAL version of Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim is currently worth €17.99 loose, versus €17.25 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
