About Saga Project
A Timeless RPG Experience
The SaGa franchise is a distinguished and longstanding series of freeform player choice-centric role-playing games produced by Square Enix. The series is uniquely known for its emphasis on exploration, non-linear branching plots, and occasionally unconventional gameplay. There are over a dozen games in the SaGa franchise, each with their own unique and standalone stories. The first entry in the series was released for the Game Boy in December 1989 in Japan as MAKAI TOSHI SaGa and in September 1990 in North America as THE FINAL FANTASY LEGEND. It was the first RPG ever released for a handheld gaming systems, breaking new ground for portable gaming, and the first Square title to sell over a million units.
Player choice-centric narrative system allows you to pick and choose stories to take on and the order to complete them, adding incredible replay value.
Some of the titles allow you to choose from amongst a wide variety of starting protagonists, where your selection determines how the game starts and your initial selection of quests, while other titles let you control variety of characters along the story progression.
Turn-based combat is further enhanced by the spontaneous Glimmer system (referred to as Spark or Inspiration in older localizations), through which characters are granted access to new skills, and tactical elements like managing the party’s formation and executing combo attacks offer a newly-found tactical depth.
