Square Enix finally gives fans of a legendary series exactly what the asked for: a gorgeous port for modern consoles.
The beloved title, Romancing SaGa 2, will come digitally to (takes a deep breath) the PS4, Vita, Nintendo Switch, STEAM, Xbox One and Windows 10 on December 15.
Originally released in 1993, the landmark title in the SaGa series has players leading the Varennes Empire in battle against the Seven Heroes. A free scenario system—a hallmark of the SaGa series—enables the player to take command of a variety of protagonists along the line of imperial succession and experience the history of a nation as it grows and changes.
Enhanced features include:
- Updated graphics and audio
- New character classes provide added depth and tactical possibilities to gameplay
- New dungeon provides greater challenges
- “New Game+” feature carries over useful character attributes and items into a new game, enabling players to obtain missed items, or save previously sacrificed lands and companions
I’m just thankful they didn’t just remake the game with the Kingdom Heart gameplay engine like Square Enix loves to do. Then again, Romancing SaGa 2 was, and still is great, unlike Final Fantasy 7 which really does not hold up well in so many ways.
