✓ Not Perfect, but closeThe game is really fun and the graphics look great but there are a few bugs it seems. When you go to your skills it gives an option where you can say yes or no to "seeling your skills" I believe this is an error, as it should say selling. I learned this the hard way and accidentally removed all my skills, which is quite upsetting. Luckily I'm not too far in..Defreitas FamilyVersion: 1.0.0

✓ It's been a long time coming...The SaGa series is often overlooked outside of Japan due to its experimental combat and gameplay systems. It also didn't help that the earliest SaGa entries on Game Boy were released as Final Fantasy titles in the 90s, causing some confusion as to which series they actually belonged to. Of course, the confusion has long been cleared up, but it hasn't helped the SaGa series gain any kind of headway outside of its native Japan. SaGa Frontier and its sequel on PS1 were largely ignored due to reviewers criticizing what makes the titles unique, and Unlimited Saga was considered far too experimental, too dependent on luck and too much of a departure from the series' elements. The first title in the Super Famicom Romancing SaGa line was released on the PS2 and localized, but most people wrote it off for being too difficult or not explaining its gameplay flow better (complaints that, for the record, are easily dismissed). Fast forward some years and now the second title in the Romancing SaGa trilogy, often considered the best RS title by many a Japanese gamer, has made its way overseas with an official English translation that finally allows us to figure out what the story is. As all sagas are heroic stories that can be written a number of ways, there are many interesting tales that unfold across this game and the choices you make as a ruler will determine what will happen to the various humans and other beings of the world. While this Romancing SaGa title contains the usual elements of art sparking (learning new moves during battle) and character skill building other SaGa titles have, RS2 has quite a bit going on under the hood that even its successor didn't have. As you play the role of a kingdom's ruler and his descendants, you will not only embark on a primary story across generations, but you will also be working to improve your castle over time by funding various projects, such as the Magic Lab. Every battle you get into in this game generates a flow of funds to your castle's coffers; these funds are not the funds you carry with you to buy items but rather the money you can spend to create and improve castle services. It's important to note that SaGa titles are not friendly to people who play RPGs to grind; in a unique feature for the series' time, enemies increase in strength with you via an internal value that keeps track of your party's overall power. What was once a small goblin with a club who could barely dent your HP will become a giant ogre who will instantly flatten your team with a massive earthquake. The player must balance how often they engage enemies, as too many encounters and gaining too much strength can effectively put your party into almost impossible battles. There is also one other caveat to be aware of for this title that sets it apart from its brethren: unlike other SaGa titles, LP (Life Points) cannot be restored via resting. Think of them like the blood flowing through the character's body. Once a character's HP hits 0, they fall in battle and lose one of their precious LP. You cannot get that LP back by simply dashing to the nearest inn and sleeping. There is a way to restore LP, but it's expensive and very out of the way, requiring some time to get to the method of how to do it. Once a character's LP hits 0, they're out of the story permanently. This means you're not getting that person you spent so much time training back. Worry not though, as your castle has loads of replacements, who are often just recolors of the same folks. Once one generation is over (completing all story events), the ruler passes on his abilities to their offspring, who grows up and begins their tale of ruling the kingdom of Avalon. The story carries on in this manner until the final generation must deal with the Seven Heroes, who will be the primary plot focus. I could mention more, but it's best to play the game for yourself and find out if it was worth the wait for this elusive SaGa title. In my opinion, it was definitely worth it..LetdragonVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Fantastic Rpg. Polished, and finally Localized!The SaGa games were always Squaresoft's secret gems that never got mainstream attention, which is actually a good thing. Because this way you know for sure they wont get ruin, like this entry!.IzzytehpwnrVersion: 1.0.0

✓ How Great and Random. Awesome JRPG.It's really surprising to me that Square Enix decided to bring this as a port to smartphones, but it's really cool to have the opportunity to play a decent English version of the game 20+ years after the Japanese release. I loved the FF Legend games as a kid and it was always disappointing to have to resort to bad emulator roms to play this sequel. This game is HARD. It's difficult to understand what is going on because little is explained, and the setup is so unique and nonlinear. But it's also a rewarding experience to learn the complexity and eventually build strong teams to defeat the seven heroes and expand the empire. A couple notes to help new players understand: -LP are life points. When a character gets knocked out in battle, these are permanently lost. When LP run out, the character is dead forever. A little way into the game you can buy potions from the witch to restore LP, but it's important to just avoid letting your characters get beaten up. Think of this as the flipside of not having to heal HP after battles. -Successive generations can learn all of the offensive and evasive techniques learned by past parties. Just talk to those soldiers in the castle. Don't be afraid to seal techniques to make room for others - you can always get them back. -You should be saving constantly because unlucky, brutal things will happen to your party all the time. Be prepared to reset the game fairly regularly when even "normal" battles go very badly. -Monsters do get stronger as you do (new tiers of monsters appear), but it's still a good idea overall to grind a bit, get money, invest in weapons, armor, learn new techniques, magic, and to sit on the throne to invest in the Empire. -If you want to stand a chance against the final boss, either invest in a mostly-female final party (and pick the female empress at the beginning), or learn the Temptation evasion technique when you fight Rocbouquet..Anatole UnderwaterVersion: 1.01

✓ Finally remastered!I've been a saga fan since 96 playing Romancing Saga 3. Amazing port, the script sucks but the saga series is known for its depth in gameplay and challenging battles. Can't wait to challenge the seven heroes again!.VellureVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Romancing Sagax10 stars!*Best RPG in the Saga franchise better yet Iove the drama in the game is really addictive can't stop playing. I will like to have a virtual joystick for better movement just like the other Sagas I have played. Thanks is really a great master piece love it. Keep the good work. Where I can replenish lp of the player because it does not when they sleep in the inns. Please make a place to replenish lp. Thanks for the attention. Keep the good work..Sasy23Version: 1.01

✓ Wow really greatHadn't played this one before, but it has pretty great depth! I'd love to see a Saga Frontier port as well!.James L TurnerVersion: 1.01

✓ Not for the Faint of Heart--a Godsend to the Hardcore JRPG PlayerRomancing SaGa 2 is nearly as old as I am, and I'm aware of its legacy as arguably *the* most difficult JRPG game in existence. After an over twenty-long year wait, English-speaking RPG veterans can finally test their mettle against this truly unique and interesting game. It lives up to its legendary reputation of difficulty, but also offers a refreshing, scenario-based non-linear storyline that seems to prefigure many of the open world games in recent decades. Despite a wooden translation that would more accurately be called a transliteration than a localization, I can wholeheartedly recommend this game to those looking for a fresh, retro RPG experience who are also already experienced in the JRPG genre. As a side note, now that I am older, I find myself appreciating the nuanced nature of some of the political situations that arise in the game's scenarios. Though many games claim to approximate real life choices, I found that RS2 does so in a way that does not allow the player always to foresee where the choices will lead in the future, and the generational nature of the game allows you to see where the consequences of your choice actually lead..Dark EclipseVersion: 1.0.0

✓ JburdoExcellent old school game from the classic Squaresoft SNES era. Definitely worth the purchase. Let's hope we see Square-Enix put more of its Japanese exclusive games out there for the English speaking audience! This game was way ahead of its time and is probably the finest of the entire SaGa series..YazarcVersion: 1.01

✓ No controller supportGreat game, but lacks controller support. It's odd considering almost all of the current SE RPGs have it..ONE21GigawattsVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Another great square enix port!I'm glad to see yet another square jewel come to the US. Now if we could just see Seiken Densetsu 3 on iOS. For those that don't know that's secret of mana 2. Hope they bring it..Joeman0411Version: 1.0.0

✓ Open world masterpieceProbably the best squaresoft game bar non. Only romsaga 3 or bahamuts lagoon comes close..JGPS936523Version: 1.01

✓ Finally! Ported in English!This was the first JRPG with non-linear storyline I've played. It also has a very different concept of money management, equipment acquirement, skill learning, and magic system like none other even to this day. If you are OK with a bit of retro graphic, you should try it. A bit of caveat is the survival control is pretty bad, but I am willing to tolerate it for all the unique qualities of the game..JasonW From SFVersion: 1.01

✓ Amazing game but there is some space for improvementThis is basically a remastered version of a legendary game. I really wanted to cry when I entered into this game and hear d that familiar in-game music again the first night I bought and played this game on my iPhone6S. I just wanted to say to SE that thank you very much for bringing it alive and please do remember Romancing Saga 3 as I've been waiting for it for more than 20 years. However there is still some space for improvement and that is why I cannot five star it. Firstly the virtual control is pretty bad and I rather want to have a visible virtual control panel instead of using the current one. And surprisingly there is no option for control panel. Secondly I wish this game can have more languages embedded. I really want to play its Japanese version as those skill names are really part of my childhood memory. Apparently Japanese version on iOS has been released earlier. I really do not think that would be a problem for SE to give us a version with multi-language option. It is really something that if SE wants to do then it can surely do it. I cannot think of any difficulty to prevent this from happening. So please do consider to make it happen, my dear SE. Apart from those two points, I really have nothing bad to say about this game. Anyone who loves JRPG cannot miss this game because as a JRPG lover for more than 20 years I can promise you that you will not be disappointed and this game is arguably better than FF in many ways..Aris NingVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Challenging, Deep, Satisfying JRPGI've been a SaGa fan for 20+ years and honestly I can't believe that you can now play one of these games on your phone. So for someone like me, this is an instant purchase just to support the series and its ongoing struggles in the West. Now, objectively: this game is a challenging departure from traditional "Final Fantasy" style JRPGs. Blah blah blah, there are several other reviews here that have said it better. But the bottom line is, there are a lot of great things going on in this game. If you're a fan of JRPGs this is honestly one of the best options on your phone. The graphics are crisp, the animations are surprisingly good (in that cute, nostalgic, 16-bit way), the music is amazing (like most SaGa games)...my one complaint would be that the controls aren't the best. That is also true of virtually every game in this genre when played on a touch screen though. TL;DR Awesome, challenging, and most importantly: Very Different. Buy it..SiromnomchompskiVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Good if you give it a chanceNever heard of the werid before and just like final fantasy tactics it took a while to get into but once you get into it it's a pretty fun and addicting game. It's very subtle on how the game draws you in. It dont have the story element that final fantasy tactics have or any of the other final fantasy or dragon quests but the game play is very good.HgjknbVersion: 1.01

✓ Amazing!!!I'm a huge fan of square and jrpgs. I haven't been able to get engrossed in one of these types of games for years, but that has now changed. Everything about this game is well done. I love the saga series and I hope they do this for RS3 as well. Don't let the $17.99 price tag sway you. The game is awesome and well worth the price.._bretly_Version: 1.0.0

✓ Classic JRPGVery fortunate to be able to play this port, the price is steep, but they added new classes and content as an incentive. Gameplay is great, it has the classic JRPG with a few of its own intricate features that the other Square series don't have. Loving it so far!.KuraidoreviewVersion: 1.0.0

✓ A great RPG finally comes overseas.Romancing saga 2 is a great game with so many ways to play it. It's battle system is amazing, the story is simple, yet smart, and the localization is great. I only wish that romancing saga 1 and 3 and maybe even imperial saga would release in America....KappathefrogVersion: 1.01

✓ AmazingI never had the pleasure of playing 2 because a full fan translation was never completed. This is incredibly well done, and it's how a remake should be handled. I hope like crazy they give this treatment to 1 and especially Romancing Saga 3, one of my favorite RPGs ever. I can't recommend this enough, you can tell how much hard work and care went into this..DuppaboyVersion: 1.0.0

✓ EhHHeehHh...eeH..WowwOWwowWEeeEHHHHwOWSz!Ever since I played the original Dragon Quest I (at the time on NES it was "Dragon Warrior" FYI) the types of games I like to play..almost exclusively even to this day...changed 4-eV-OR....and most likely the turning point in my life where I could have gone either popular sports jock...or some kinda D&D nerd. Guess which I chose >_> <_< I digress. The point is...do you remember the very first time you played or were introduced to an "RPG" and we're like...w..t...f.okisthis!? Then..like myself..proceeded to play the game non-stop forsaking all others until completion..then only to find your not-so-conformist-black sheep type third uncle whom happens to be younger than U....from some step mother that "we just doHn talk bout no MerH" reveals to you ...Dragon Warrior II?! Then Final Fantasy next series then...you devour all rpg's ever.....kinda feeling? Well...difficult to re-create right? <----------well this one is the first to actually simulate that feeling...at least for me..once again in decades. Is it familiar...yet not? Is it...reminiscent in a perfect way to the pixelated rpg's of yore? IMHO..well fOkeyah. So...🙄 😳. BOUYS EETS NOWZeOWzeE!

✓ Awesome!!!I will always have some bias towards Romancing Saga games because of the godly soundtrack by Kenji Ito. Having played RS1 and RS3, the controls felt familiar; the enemies no longer rush directly towards and trap the player when they enter a map like in the first game (as often), yet the graphics, battle system, and story feel weak compared to RS3. The graphics look cleaner than the original version, and there are now animated boss sprites. My biggest complaint would be how you control the movement of the main character and overall UI. It's unclear where you should tap when using an item/ sometimes I would press to the side and accidentally consume an item or make a wrong choice. The translations are also... kind of funky. "Seeling skill?" Sealing a skill? What? (Turns out I have to be careful not to tap the skill in the menu twice because that apparently DELETES it?) Lastly, it's also irritating how you still cannot restore LP at the inn like in RS3, and you essentially have to kill off a character's LP to remove them from your party. -- TL;DR -- Amazing music, interesting story (but a rather poor execution of it), ugly controls and UI, challenging gameplay..StarChimiiVersion: 1.01

✓ Great Retro RPG with a lot of ChallengesGreat, great game! This game is almost perfect with a few bugs especially in a few dungeons. Just walking around will cause the game to crash. To name a few: Gemstone Cave and Termite Den. Kindly make update fixes and continue to release great games such as this. (Tips to maintaining LP: Always make use of all 4 saves and save/load if you have to suffer some casualties. Only time I let my LP go down if my characters learned a skill and wouldn't want to repeat the process. That's the challenge in this game: trying to survive the game until the next generation).ZagiliciousVersion: 1.01

✓ Great retro RPGThis is definitely a game for those that are super into the genre. The menus and user interface can be a bit obtuse, but it's got great gameplay still. Please, Square, bring 1 and 3 to iOS!.Me!!!!!!69Version: 1.01

✓ One of the classicsThis game is a legacy title in Japan. I'm only sad that there has never been an English release before. It would have been amazing if this had come out amongst the greats like Chrono Trigger and FF6. I fear it will get overlooked in this day and age but if you love old school SNES era RPGs, you cannot miss this classic..DjinntoTonicVersion: 1.0.0
