Square Enix has been slowly revitalizing the SaGa series over the past few years, and the RPG franchise’s next big release is
If you preorder Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven, you’ll get two bonus in-game items that boost your character’s growth. These items will not be available in the base game at launch, so if you want them, you’ll have to preorder.
While the series started as a Final Fantasy spin-off called Final Fantasy Legend, the SaGa series quickly evolved into its own unique franchise. Unlike many other JRPGs of the 90s, the SaGa games are notable for offering non-linear storylines and complex character building systems that were more akin to 90s computer RPGs. Romancing SaGa 2 sees players take the role of various members of a royal family as they fight to maintain their empire, and stave off world-ending threats. There’s also an entire castle building mechanics where you construct and manage fortresses around your kingdom. Like other games in the series, where you go, who you talk to, and which side quests you complete can have drastic changes on how the story unfolds. It’s a surprisingly open-ended experience, even by modern standards, and this new remake is the perfect opportunity to give it a go, or revisit it and try for an entirely different story path.
Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven looks to be a great way to jump into the SaGa series, but plenty of other games in the series are available to buy now. The latest all-new release is SaGa: Emerald Beyond, but other titles like Romancing SaGa: Minstrel’s Song Remastered, Collection of SaGa: Final Fantasy Legend, and more are also available and are worth checking out if you’re curious about this cult-favorite JRPG series. These games are only available in digital format. PC players can grab the Steam versions at GMG.
