Romancing SaGa is the 4th in a line of Square Enix SaGa games. The original Super Famicom version and the WonderSwan Color port were marketed exclusively in Japan. However, Square Enix announced a PlayStation 2 remake titled Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song for both Japanese and North American localization. The North American version was released on October 11, 2005 and was simply titled Romancing SaGa.
[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.
The story of Romancing SaGa begins once you choose one of them. Of course you might run into some of the other seven as you adventure across Mardias, and you may be surprised by what has become of them.
There are other characters as well beside the eight main characters. Those characters are mostly found in pubs.
