Romancing Saga 2

Excellent old school game from the classic Squaresoft SNES era. Definitely worth the purchase. Let's hope we see Square-Enix put more of its Japanese exclusive games out there for the English speaking audience! This game was way ahead of its time and is probably the finest of the entire SaGa series.

This was the first JRPG with non-linear storyline I've played. It also has a very different concept of money management, equipment acquirement, skill learning, and magic system like none other even to this day. If you are OK with a bit of retro graphic, you should try it. A bit of caveat is the survival control is pretty bad, but I am willing to tolerate it for all the unique qualities of the game.

Romancing saga 2 is a great game with so many ways to play it. It's battle system is amazing, the story is simple, yet smart, and the localization is great. I only wish that romancing saga 1 and 3 and maybe even imperial saga would release in America...

The system is a little confusing because nothing is ever explained to you. What are skill points? How do you get more life points? Skills are learned randomly. Why does a person with 15 def get 1-shot while a person with 13 def takes 1/4 the damage? But the cardinal sin is that the game has a boring and disjointed story. It reminds me of Chinese movies that recount some popular or historical tale, and you're expected to already know what happens so they can jump around and just hit the highlig

Cannot turn of the annoying music and the controls are wonky
