SaGa Frontier 2 is a console role-playing game developed by Square Co., Ltd. (now Square Enix Co., Ltd.) and published by Square Electronic Arts. It is one of Square's final RPGs for the Sony PlayStation video game console.
It was released on April 1, 1999 in Japan, January 31, 2000 in North America and March 22, 2000 in Europe. The game is notable for using traditional 2D hand-painted watercolor graphics to give the game an almost storybook look. Also, it was the first time since Romancing SaGa that Kenji Ito did not compose the music; instead, being scored by Masashi Hamauzu. Hamauzu would also go on to compose the music for the next game in the series, Unlimited SaGa.

[edit] Storyline
SaGa Frontier 2 has two separate storylines: The history of Gustave XIII of Finney (AKA Gustave the Steel), and the Knights family.
SaGa Frontier II takes place in the land of Sandail, roughly in the years 1200-1300.
[edit] Main Character (Gustave's quest)
Gustave Eugene, AKA Gustave XIII, AKA Gustave the Steel
Birth: 1220, Thermes Palace, Thermes, Finney Kingdom, Merchmin Death: 1269, A fort in Gustave's southern territory, Grand Teille. Presumably killed by Monsters. Age at Death: 49
Gustave XIII, former prince of Thermes and successor to the throne of Gustave XII, is exiled by his father when at the age of 7 he fails the Firebrand Ceremony by being unable to manifest his Anima through the sword to light it aflame. Both he and his mother, Queen Sophie (who tried to prevent Gustave's banishment) are banished from the castle and forced to live in the slums of Thermes, being forbidden by Gustave XII to leave for Nohl. Master Cielmer, noting to Gustave XII that with Gustave XIII's banishment that his services are no longer required, asks for permission to leave Thermes and the King's Employ, which is granted. Cielmer then uses this opportunity to sneak them to Gruegel to seek asylum from King Sui of Na, noting that Gustave XII has thoughts of execution possibly on his mind. Gustave will set neither foot nor sights on Thermes, Finney, or Merchmin for another 20 years. With this scenario, the long and intriguing story of Gustave XIII begins...
