If you want.
I personally would never get a game where you control more than 4 party members in a battle.

there's iirc 15 memory scenes scattered throughout the world which give the villains backstory. other than that, and the prologue, there is essentially zero story. so if you need story to keep you invested, no. that being said, saga games are a very very different from typical JRPGs (anti-grind, kingdom management, generational unit shuffling, and no levels (except for each class/character's skill levels)). it's also fairly tough; you can't unga-bunga your way to victory, and will probably get team-wiped at least once if you aren't a JRPG veteran. but it has probably the strongest battle mechanics of any JRPG i've ever played, so if that sounds appealing, then absolutely yes.

Get it. They fixed the UE4 Fatal Error so you'll be able to see the ending without having to beat the game twice.

I'm glad games like this and the Trials of Man remake were made but I wish they got more attention and I can't help but feel like even though Square is making them they're sort of pushing them out to die and any game that's not some mega AAA release is overshadowed too quickly

Goddamn those time skips really sneak up on you. I wasn't grinding or anything but I Gered got rotated out sooner than I expected and then my next emperor got swaped after a couple missions and that succession quest.

I will admit anons, the demo clicked with me and so I got it... And I won't lie, I'm the beginning everything was good and all, now after grinding a lot the game is kicking my butt at the beginning on the goblin's nest, I barely managed to beat it but the enemies are starting to hit stronger and harder, did I mess up by grinding?

Crazy how Sagafags think their game has the best battle system when it is very limited and archaic.
FF3-9 gives you more options in the battles.

So I guess I'm at the last battle. Compared to what I've seen online I feel like I'm pretty underleveld but also I'm stilling beating bosses so I guess I'm doing alright? I know the game scales weirdly so maybe it won't be an issue but I also feel like I might not be getting the most out of the game. Saga's weird.

I like them both.

Speedrun bug appears to have dropped on the latest RTA in Japan. Using the memories of the Seven Heroes, to warp to the location of the scene of the memory, then leave and you are in the post-game dungeon, taking advantage of the game's autosave feature.

Anon12/30/25, 22:53No.3900490
Just started into this game and I'm enjoying it a lot. I have some experience in Saga, did two endings in Frontier and I've played a little Scarlet Grace and Emerald Beyond.
My question is, it sounds like everyone agrees that Romancing Saga 2 Remake is the easiest game to get into, what's the second easiest game to get into?
Just curious where to go if I finish it and I'm interested in more.

How do I maximize the amount of time skips to reach Year 4000+? My current plan is:1st TS: Clear Gemstone Mine and annex Ludon
2nd TS: Complete the Saigo Clansman quest without defeating Dantarg and defeat the Queen to annex the Savannah
3rd TS: Complete the Mermaid quest
4th TS: Take the boat from Miles to Cumberland and solve their quest
5th TS: Liberate Canal Fortress
6th TS: Solve the Corsair/Armed Merchant Quest and annex Comroon Island
7th TS: Stop the eruption in Comroon Island and banish Garon
8th TS: Solve the sunken ship quest without triggering the fight with Subier and annex Melu by negotiating with Noel
9th TS: Defeat Dantarg in the missing Mu and Child quest
10th TS: Annex the Steppe
11th TS: Annex Salamat
12th TS: Annex Yauda

Romancing SaGa 2's boss theme is weird, for the most part it's great, but https://youtu.be/4dr7XxEi0U4?si=P14lKwnAmORb7RI_&t=41 annoys the hell out of me every time it plays and it kinda ruins the entire track for me.

Just got the Final Emperor in RotS and I feel like I locked myself out of a lot, like never having a Corsair Emperor.
I guess I'm okay with it as long as I can't softlock myself. I'll probably do NG+ even though I rarely do NG+. Only really done it in Chrono Trigger, SMTIV and SMTV but I'm really liking this game.

Went ahead and restarted run, think I'm mostly paced out better and not seeing minibosses in random encounters anymore. Also got a better laid out team and the roflstomp hero didn't appear in that dungeon this time so actually making progress south.
Lost 1-2 levels of global skills I think, and I miss my worm sword, but eh it's fine.

Is there a downside to killing off your characters?
I'm on the final boss of the Remake and I have characters on 2 and 4 LP. I can bump them up to 6 LP each with items but I'm wondering if it would be better to get them killed and recruit them again.

Anon01/11/26, 16:48No.3907609
Funny how "emergent storytelling" was a big trend not long ago and the people who went through it somehow can't grasp it happening if it's a game older then the trend. Like, people can draw interpretations from random happenings in Skyrim or interactions with some orc in Shadow of Mordor but not RS2?
Now granted, the english translation of the remaster is a pretty lackluster interpretation of already very straightforward dialogue, meanwhile the remake juggles between being the same or trying to explain things like babby's first video game (it's not pokemon it's fucking SaGa) or flat out wasting your time, that may distract.
A
Anon01/11/26, 22:24No.3907735
People talking about narrative possibilities and emergent storytelling while my story with my game is I'm a bitch who can't beat any boss past the canal vicar because they're all one-shotting 10-20k hp behemoths, and I dunno how anyone else's is different.
I barely managed to stunlock the termite queen to death in an overlong fight, meanwhile had to abandon areas/quests because of Giant/Dantarg/Spriggan(i tried so hard with this one)/something else, thought I was doing well and now falling into a pit of demoralization.
For those curious my path went something like Dragon Lair-Mine-Saigo dungeon-Canal-SKIP-first Mu quest-Cumberland-Termite queen-SKIP-restore Mine-Mermaid quest-SKIP-now.
Dunno if I'm not sparking enough or avoiding too many fights in general or what.

I think I'm almost done? I just need to fight 2 more heroes including Kzinssie. Overall I'm having a lot of fun with this game, but it feels like it only has like 5 pieces of music and 'Clash with Kzinssie' is starting to piss me off. I wish I could use SaGa Frontier's basic battle theme here, but nothing is stopping me from muting the game and having that track play over the game I guess.

Anon01/14/26, 06:13No.3909365
Honestly, why should I bother with the remake over the remaster? Aside from the swappable party members and (over)improvements of the dialogue, everything about it rubs me the wrong way, from broad things like the art direction and simplified/convenienced stats to specific things like how close the camera is in combat and actions happening immediately and too quickly.
A
Anon01/14/26, 18:34No.3909671
It's honestly bizarre that the remake can't provide dialogues for every possible interactions for each emperor class but Minstrel Song has voiced dialogues for just about everything.

Even though the game can be "difficult" (characters getting randomly one shot mostly) this is a nice game to just pick up and play like an hour then put back down. The level up bars after fights and glimmer system feel really satisfying

I'm on like 6th or so emperor and I'm starting to chafe on how undefined stats are. Got a Hunter emp and finding it hard to decide on a tough frontline for it's formation. How much defense is ideal? How much Sta is ideal? I just don't freaking know. And that's on top of the game telling you nothing about the exact defenses for equipment.
I honestly wouldn't mind spending so much time every gen going around gathering up a new crew if I just knew what the numbers mean and didn't spend an hour sifting through the blogspot.
Why do these games hate transparency in statistics?

I gave the prince martial arts and short swords (?) since this was what my team composition was lacking.

Forget trying to beat Deep One with statuses in the remake, just focus on charging your OD, they nerfed to original's status application chances to gatekeep it behind the Ranger's class passive so you can no loner stun/paralyze/sleep reliably without it, on a clear file in Classic difficulty it's best to just have a tank with deflect to draw aggro while everyone else hits a weakness to charge OD, possibly while also trying to stun/paralyze to fish for a status.
They buffed all the early game stuff to work like that including the Goblin King, they really want you to use OD.

Anon01/29/26, 00:49No.3917403
Whoever came up with the idea of giving enemies massive HP pools in Romancing difficulty of the remake doesn't know good game design. This is especially the case when you try to beat the post-game Seven Heroes fights in 5 turns or less. There are videos that show it's possible even after United Ravager was nerfed to x3.0 and without dark magic even, but it required activating the ability that has a 20% chance to not consume OD gauge TWICE! This means none of your party members should die in these 5 turns, and you can't spend your time doing anything other than using the biggest damage dealing move. This is an issue with Dantarg who starts his move that hits all party members and can kill them with it.
