It's not like Alicesoft died with Rance, they still have fans and the Rance series does hold a certain presence. Prices going up wouldn't surprise me in such an instance. Then again really terrible games can suddenly command insane prices because there's just 1 or 2 of them. It's just what the market pays for it and Rance fans are apparently paypigs.

Yeah, it's a free version based on 2 I think? Lord monarch had a similar thing, pretty confusing franchises. Lord monarch more so. Does your limited edition also contain the power-up kit? Apparently that actually makes the full game. Guess Sorcerian did really well, it even got a full original re-print with diskettes and all. I should have them all already, though. Another thing that apparently exists is the Korean Ys 2 special, which follows the plot of both Ys 2 and the OVA. Could be an interesting thing to buy, though I'm not sure how official that was. As for the non-IBM, most of it is probably already available in their respective sets. So I wouldn't worry about that if it doesn't catch your collector's itch, won't be lost. The FM-towns ports are apparently a bit more rare though. The early CD console games aren't that bad, they are probably the most interesting console games. Not many of them to begin with before they focused on Sony, mostly ports.

Isn't too shocking as most of them had maybe 1 unpaid editor, official translations go through multiple playtesting sessions and probably multiple proofreading sessions as well. I think most bugs that do get fixed by the coders here are actually Alicesoft originals, I think the official localizers fix their fair share of them as well. 4chan does have archives, most of them die at some point or get purged though. So they're pretty unreliable. If the websites are Japanese, chances are they were blogs which have now been purged with the great purge of Yahoo? I think?

That's fine though, re-printing old games costs money which they probably won't make back unless they up the price.
