■No two players will experience the story in the same way■

Alongside DRAGON QUEST and FINAL FANTASY, the SaGa series is one of Square Enix’s most beloved. The first three titles were originally branded overseas under the “FINAL FANTASY LEGEND” moniker for Game Boy, and garnered critical acclaim for their complex yet compelling combat system.

Romancing SaGa 2 takes the varied gameplay of other entries in the series and combines it with an open-ended free-form scenario system whose story is as vast as the world in which it plays out. The player takes the role of a succession of emperors, painting the history of the world with each and every action.

Familiar series hallmarks such as formations and glimmers make a return in this unique title.

■Story■

It all begins with the song of a lone bard in a bustling pub.

Great nations such as the Varennes Empire, which had once ensured peace throughout the world, stagnated and atrophied over the course of centuries, and sinister forces started emerging in outlying areas.

Ere long, peace spiraled into war and the common folk spoke in hushed words of the Seven Heroes—historical figures who saved the world once and who, it was hoped, would do so again.

■Additional Elements■

▷New dungeons
▷New classes: diviner and ninja
▷New Game+

### 1/5 — Eh

*2025-04-19*

I’m glad I only paid 5 dollars for this. I’m a longtime Final Fantasy fan, so when I found this game under the Square Enix link in the App Store, I thought I’d give it a try. I had to back up and start over in this game numerous times to get anywhere. Whether or not you can beat the bosses doesn’t always seem to depend on how strong your party is but rather what your progression is in the game. I got stuck so many times in this game, I frequently had to look online for guides. Those weren’t always available, either because they weren’t in English or they were guides for the 3D version of this game, which appears to have been altered more than just in appearance. I read that there was an abdicate feature in an earlier version of this game that isn’t in this one, and it would’ve been helpful. I
Made it to the end boss but then couldn’t beat it. I didn’t want to level grind for it, as this game had already brought me a lot of aggravation and boredom. I just stopped playing it and bought something else.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2024-10-16*

I’m glad I only paid 5 dollars for this, but I think even that is too much. There’s no feasible way to grind in this game. Whether the area you are in is easy or difficult, it doesn’t matter. Your characters will frequently get killed off anyway. Oh yeah, you can’t revive anyone. You can only replace them with newer, weaker characters. Think you’re going to reset the game and do something different to make your characters stronger? It doesn’t matter! They’ll get killed off anyway.

### 1/5 — Bloody

*2023-09-07*

Boring and looks like it came out 30 ish years ago

### 3/5 — Can’t turn off music

*2023-07-23*

Cannot turn of the annoying music and the controls are wonky

### 5/5 — 한글화

*2022-10-03*

한글화 해주세요….

### 1/5 — Needs controller support

*2022-08-23*

I do love this game 
But I won’t finish it until backbone or whatever controller support is added

I’ll give 5 stars then

### 4/5 — Romancing saga2

*2021-02-04*

I want to play this game in Japanese, but the it is not possible to select the language which users want to. Can you fix it to select the language?

### 5/5 — PS4 controller

*2020-11-25*

PS4 controller doesn’t work properly. Can you fix it?

### 5/5 — 한글화 좀 해주세요

*2020-10-30*

로사3와 함께 한글화 좀 해주세요 
명작이라 계속 소장하고 있습니다

### 2/5 — No controller support

*2020-07-26, version 1.10*

Seriously? This was a console game, it sorely needs controller support. It can’t be that hard to add in, small independent developers do it all the time. Come on Square-Enix!
