Romancing SaGa (ロマンシング サ・ガ Romanshingu Sa Ga?) is a console role-playing game developed by Square Co., Ltd. (Squaresoft) (now Square Enix Co., Ltd.). The original Super Famicom version, released on January 28, 1992, and the WonderSwan Color port, released on December 20, 2001, were marketed exclusively in Japan. It is the first game in the SaGa series to be released for the Super Famicom and the fourth installment in that series. Recently, Square Enix announced a PlayStation 2 enhanced remake titled Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song (ロマンシング サガ -ミンストレルソング- Romanshingu Sa Ga -Minsutoreru Songu-?) for both Japanese and North American localization. The Japanese version was released on April 21, 2005 and the North American version was released on October 11, 2005 and was simply known as Romancing SaGa, which was used to coincide with the Super Famicom's original title.
[edit] Plot
Mardias was created by the God Marda. Long ago, war raged between three wicked gods-Death, Saruin, and Schirach-and the lord of all gods, Elore. At the end of that long conflict, Death and Schirach were stripped of their powers. And at last Saruin was imprisoned through the might of the ten Fatestones and the hero Mirsa's ultimate sacrifice.
A thousand years passed, and the Fatestones were scattered throughout Mardias. All this time the powers of evil festered.
Now, eight adventurers answer the call of destiny to embark on a journey. But only one person can decide how their stories will unfold across the vast realm of Mardias. That person is you.
[edit] Characters
All eight main characters grew up in different places, have different backgrounds, and are journeying for different reasons.
While playing one of these characters, you might run into some of the other seven as you adventure across Mardias and lean more about their stories.
Beside the eight main characters, there are a number of NPCs. Those characters are mostly found in pubs.
