I've been looking into Evergrace merch for quite a while now. I believed there wasn't much merch besides the games and strategy guides and I'm happy to say there's far more to this series.
Due to the lack of information on a lot of the merch that's available, nothing will be in order.
Currently a wip
The most well known piece piece of media from the series and is the easiest to get physically. Known for having a somewhat rocky development, originally developed on the Playstation before becoming a Playstation 2 launch title. Screenshots of the Playstation build are available online but the original build was never dumped.
Fun facts: Just like the Playstation build never resurfacing, the music made for that build hasn't resurfaced either. One day...
Supposedly, some of the music in this game was repurposed from another game series: King's Field.
Known as Evergrace 2 in Japan, this is the sequel/prequel to Evergrace. Compared to the other game, this game is a bit pricey...especially one in case. Though developement of this game isn't fully known, Ruyan's design went to some changes. Ruyan was supposed to wear a skirt but due to difficulties coding this, it was changed to an ugly ass pair of shorts. The skirt remains in the manga adaptation. We will get to the manga later.
Look at what they did to Ruyan bro it's unforgivable.
The most infamous piece of merch for this series by a landslide. Released in 2000, it contains a slightly different arrangement of music compared to what the game recieved and contains 2 bonus tracks. It was only released in Japan and like the game, it was unpopular. Prices range from $200 to $600 with the most expensive I've come across being a whopping $1,600. Gang...it's not that serious.
Below are some pics from the original soundtrack:
The most recent piece of Evergrace merch to be released. Having a limited release in 2018, this 3 vinyl release contains the original CD soundtrack and, for the first time, Forever Kingdom's game soundtrack. The art is fully original as well and is done in a style reminescent of metal album covers. It also comes with a short interview from Kota Hoshino with the tracklist on the other side. In comparison to the CD, prices are significantly cheaper. It typically goes for $100 but every once in a while it'll pop up for around $30-$50.
Both of these will be combined together since these topics are virtually the same. Promotional wallpapers and extracted in game wallpapers are very easy to find. Some of the most well known ones are the cover of Forever Kingdom and Sharline sitting looking forlorn. In fact, this very background is a digital wallpaper!
The promotional posters are very interesting and pop up quite a lot.
A promotional disc that contains the Eternal Ring trailer, Armored Core trailer, and the Evergrace demo. It also contains in game screenshots for all three launch titles.
A physical retail trailer disc. Very hard to come by and doesn't have much documentation online. The video is available online.
Free stickers found throughout various different magazines/ Currently, there are 7 different designs that can be found online. Here's every design I've come across so far:
can you believe there's STILL more shit on here lmao
The Evergrace fandom wiki - Contains some of the pictures used on this page
Taptroupe - No words needed
Mobygames - used the evergrace and the Forever Kingdom pages for additional pictures
Glowroot Grotto - This is where the memory card stickers came from. I definitely did not snatch the Sharline one.
