Square Enix Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven - PlayStation 5

Rule over and expand the Empire of Varennes over several generations, fight the Seven Heroes in a battle that lasts millennia, and influence your journey in this non-linear RPG! Features: Characters & Imperial Succession: Team up with characters from over 30 classes, each with preferred weapons, unique abilities and effective tactics. Choose the next emperor from a series of candidates, each of whom has a claim to the throne and can become the next protagonist. The knowledge and skills of past rulers are passed on through legacy magic, forming ongoing bonds between you and your characters. Freeform Scenario: Revenge of the Seven offers a unique narrative structure with many experiences that take place in response to your choices and the goal you first tackle, from your approach to expanding the Empire to the order in which you face the Seven Heroes. Your actions and decisions will dramatically affect the course of the story. Battle: The original's strategic, turn-based combat system has been further enhanced with a timeline system. Enjoy classic SaGA mechanics such as Glimmer, which allows you to learn new skills in the middle of the battle, and "formations" that offer unique benefits to your entourage. The remake also uses the Unified Attack feature, which allows you to perform combo attacks with your entourage to turn the tide in battle! Graphics: The 2D pixel sprites of the original are now 3D models, but retain their enchanting and familiar appearance, based on the wonderful concept illustrations of Tomomi Kobayashi. All cities and caves are now also fully rendered, with revised terrain and layout. Three difficulty levels: relaxed, normal or hard. Relaxed puts more focus on the narrative. Normal is recommended for experienced RPG players who want balance. Heavy is perfect for players who want to experience the brutal challenge of the original version. Music & voice acting: Kenji Ito returns with a wonderful soundtrack full of new arrangements! Choose between the original and the new music using the options. Plus, there's now a full voice output in Japanese and English for all cutscenes!
