I'm happy about this but any news on a Romancing SaGa 1 or 3 coming out too?

Got a backlog, but I'll get it down the line.

First Xbox One announcement from SE since Type-0 at E3 2014.

Not counting A King's Tale since that is part of FF XV. Also, it was developed by some dudes in California and I think Japan didn't even get it.

So glad it's coming to Steam too! :D

Minstrel Song was one of my favorite RPGs on PS2, and I'm quite excited to play this one too.

Vita means life, baby!
This news is better than the entirety of the video game awards.

This is quite the hyperbolic statement, there were plenty of interesting reveals across several platforms and genres. Even if you like none of them, you should still appreciate their volume and variety, the show was awesome.

This is great news! Also apparently Romancing SaGa 3 is currently about 60~70% complete?

Anyway after watching the trailer, I wish Square Enix would port the 2D Final Fantasy games to current gen consoles too, especially FFIV, V and VI.

not familiar with this series but I remember people saying that Octopath Traveler bears it a lot of resemblance. Curious to check it out as I loved the Octopath demo

After the Retronauts episode on the FF Legend titles I think I'll be picking this up. Do the Romancing SaGa games still have all that crazy party customization that those Game Boy games had?

Oh geez they weren't kidding when they said "other platforms". Now I dunno what version I want...Steam or Switch

EDIT: Wait they're doing Romancing Saga 3 too?! Oh please put that on these consoles in English too. That game is just amazing

Kinda surprised it's coming out on vita given SE skipped the vita version of games like Setsuna

Isn't this game supposed to be really hard/unforgiving?
Not really. You can only die at the beginning (during the tutorial) and at the very end, and even then, you can (should) save anywhere, anytime, and reset/reload when things go awry.
It does require meticulous gameplay, though, so it may be impossible to finish for someone who just wants to rush head first onto the boss.

Sorry Switch, but my Vita gets this one. There might be a little chance for Scarlet Grace.

Localization Alert: It's the worst I've ever seen. Most fan localizations are better than this. The game is awesome though. Set your expectations accordingly.

I've never played this series. Can I start with this one? Are they all sequels to each other?

SaGa series is similar to Final Fantasy in that they share title name and some gameplay element. There is no shared universe or continued stories between entries.
You can start with any entry in the series.

To be fair, the localization only looks bad by modern standards. In general, it does come across as slightly bland and awkward at times, but I never had any problem understanding what was going on. It's not, say, like the original releases of Final Fantasy Tactics or Final Fantasy 4. The game isn't even that strongly story-focused either, due to its non-linearity.

Definitely gonna get this on Vita as thanks to SE for bringing it. I might do Switch as well, as redundant as that is.

The Android version was crap, and I tried to return it after playing it for like 5 minutes but S-E gave me the complete run around and eventually said no. I'm tempted to still grab a version that doesn't have the awful control scheme, but I'll probably have to wait for a sale.
