Romancing Saga 2: Revenge of the Seven Is More Amazing Than I Thought

Romancing Saga 2: Revenge of the Seven has made the necessary changes to the original game and its remaster to not only excite fans of the original game, but also potentially bring in new fans or people intimidated by the original game. It added menus to clarify all the lack of information in the original game, including a detailed tutorial. It added ways to see what can glimmer new skills. It now shows you if enemies are weak to certain types of attacks as long as enemies have been hit by the attack or element type before. You can see the turn order. You can see when enemies are about to use their strongest attacks. You can see how much of a reward you've earned for fighting enemies after a battle.

True to the game's added subtitle "Revenge of the Seven" it also seems like the game is going to emphasize the story of the Seven Heroes more than it did in the original game. This game has also added new classes never before seen in the other versions of the game, and larger 3D environments with vertical exploration gameplay. Romancing Saga 2: Revenge of the Seven also added United Attack mechanics through its Overdrive system inspired from games like SaGa Scarlet Grace and SaGa Emerald Beyond. The game added more armor slots along with more armor types including shields with their own defense mechanics. 4 dedicated evasion skill slots are also now available for your characters.

Romancing SaGa 2 was a million unit+ seller in Japan in 1993 distinguishing itself among other JRPGs even during the JRPG golden age in the 90's, but it never quite got a chance to shine in the west with its remaster released west for the first time in 2017. This remake definitely stands a chance of giving the Romancing SaGa series as a whole a lot more attention in the west.
