It was a definitely a challenge to figure out how to make such a system work at the time but we feel that we have achieved this in the series.Ĭan you tell us a little bit about the ways in which the game gives the player this freedom and open-endedness? Giving the player this freedom is how we wanted to differentiate our game from the others out there. When we first started working on the SaGa Series, we wanted to make a game that was different from the linear paths and linear narratives that were common in games back then. Kawazu: The core of the series to us is the freedom that we give the players. What would you say is the core theme of the Romancing SaGa series?
We sat down with him and producer Masanori Ichikawa ahead of the game’s announcement to discuss their work. The series creator – who established his career working on both Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy II – has returned to oversee this re-release. The second entry in the series refined those elements further, and now, this self-contained story is coming to PlayStation 4 and PS Vita while keeping the look and feel of its original release – just as its creator, Akitoshi Kawazu wanted.
Back in 1989 when the original game released, it let players freely decide how their story unfolded and how they explored the game’s vibrant world. Despite its ambitious approach to non-linear open-world exploration, fan-favourite RPG series Romancing SaGa has never quite achieved the same profile as fellow Square-Enix franchise Final Fantasy did in the west.
