SaGa Frontier 2 (サガ フロンティア 2 Saga Furontia Tsū?) is a console role-playing game developed by Square (now Square Enix) 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, it was scored by Masashi Hamauzu. Hamauzu would also go on to compose the music for the next game in the series, Unlimited SaGa. The game also draws upon a considerable amount of Germanic influence, prominent in many of the characters' and towns' names. An example to this is one of the main characters, Gustave XIII, who got his name via the Swedish king Gustavus the Great.

[edit] Plot
SaGa Frontier 2 has two separate storylines: The history of Gustave XIII of Finney (AKA Gustave the Steel), and the Knights family. The game takes place in the land of Sandail, roughly in the years 1200-1300.

[edit] Audio
Along with the SaGa Frontier 2 Original Soundtrack, SaGa Frontier 2's music was also used to create Piano Pieces "SF2" Rhapsody on a Theme of SaGa Frontier 2, a collection of tracks from the game rearranged for play on a piano, as well as a handful of full orchestral pieces. Each track is actually a newly arranged piece based on a song from the original soundtrack. Both the original and rearranged versions of the music were composed by Masashi Hamauzu.
