![]() These monsters are visible at a distance and can sometimes be avoided, though not without difficulty. Battle is triggered in dungeons and in open fields where you'll run into various monsters. These choices appear mostly in battle because that's where most of the action takes place. Those that are familiar with the series will be comfortable with this formula, but those who have never played it will be utterly bewildered by the amount of choices they're given at any given time. ![]() It's all about gameplay, particularly its multifaceted battle system and heavy emphasis on exploration. To be fair the SaGa franchise has never been about intricate storylines or character development anyway. But if you can stomach the idea of running around a massive landscape with only a compass and a vague idea of where to go and why, this game is for you. Unfortunately this lack of direction also requires the utmost patience since in order to advance the storyline (such as it is) you must explore a lot of places and interact with a myriad of characters (not all of which are interesting.) If you can't accept these terms then Romancing Saga is not for you. ![]() This unconventional and old-school style of role-playing is certainly appealing in many ways: you're a free soul, taking things on as they come, choosing who you want to travel with, and discovering your hero's fate at a leisurely pace. The game has a lot of variables, and depending on where you go and what you do your actions will affect the overall arch of the story. As you progress through the game you're given the option of performing various tasks while traveling the world freely with up to five companions, any of which can be replaced along the way (including any of the seven other heroes you might run into along the way.) Like other SaGa games, Romancing SaGa chucks conventional linear gameplay by getting rid of the lone hero and instead offering eight different characters to choose from, each with their own stories that start in different places and offer different outcomes. ![]() Now that same evil is threatening to return, and it will be up to you to stop it. A thousand years ago three evil gods wreaked havoc on the world, until they were defeated and their leader imprisoned. The story takes place in a vast world called Mardias.
