A classic Japanese RPG from Camelot, an early PS1 JRPG localized to French. Standard story, slow combat, maze-like dungeons. Soon eclipsed by Final Fantasy VII, but a pleasant period memory.

Collector interest

The American version of Beyond the Beyond, Camelot's first RPG and one of the earliest of its genre launched on PlayStation in the United States. Its pioneer standing, tempered by a mixed critical reception, gives it mainly historical value as a witness to the early days of Japanese RPGs on Sony's console. Desirability rests on that role as an early milestone more than on a high price, appealing to students of the genre's history.
