Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven producer Shinichi Tatsuke and composer Kenji Ito shared messages for fans, giving insight into the game’s development and relaying their thoughts.
Read up on the full messages below, via Square Enix’s official SaGa Twitter account:
Hello, this is producer Shinichi Tatsuke. This marks the first time I’m handling a SaGa title.
Around three years ago, we had just completed the development and launch of Trials of Mana, which I worked on as the producer. Just as I was in the process of exploring what title to work on next alongside our development partner xeen Inc., Kawazu-san (SaGa franchise general director, Akitoshi Kawazu) and the SaGa team invited me to join them. That’s how I started working on the development for this title.
Working on this title made me realize once again how Romancing SaGa 2 is a very unique and captivating game, not only by the standards of the times back then, but of the modern era as well.
The imperial succession, Free-Form Scenario system, Glimmers, and the wonderful characters make me believe that this game will absolutely hold its own in today’s day and age. We put our heads together to understand how we can make this title feel intuitive for existing fans and new players alike.
The team is currently working together in the last stretch of development. Please look forward to the launch of the new Romancing SaGa 2, which inherits the traditional DNA of the SaGa franchise, but also incorporates various added elements.
-Producer Shinichi Tatsuke
I would like to congratulate the team on the announcement of Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven!
For this title, I newly arranged all the tracks I had originally created for the Super Famicom version.
Some players may be wary of that change, but please rest assured that the tracks have been polished anew to reflect the deep affection that the producer, Shinichi Tatsuke, has for Romancing SaGa 2.
I’ve also prepared new tracks for this title, so I would love for players to get to hear these tracks all together.
-Composer Kenji Ito
Lastly, Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven will release on October 24 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam.
