Square Enix’s Romancing SaGa 2 remake was quietly one of the best RPGs of 2024. If you haven’t picked up this unique JRPG, now’s a great time to do it. Amazon and Best Buy are selling physical copies of Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven for only $30. This matches the all-time best price on both platforms.

The impressive remake of the Super Famicom JRPG released last October. In a year filled with great JRPGs, Romancing SaGa 2 flew a bit under the radar, but Square Enix’s lovingly crafted turn-based RPG is a unique experience that’s well-worth the roughly 40-60 hours it takes to complete the mainline campaign.
Romancing SaGa 2 is a ground-up remake of the 1993 Super Famicom classic. An HD remaster of the original launched in 2017, but the remake introduces full 3D graphics and overhauls the turn-based battle system to match the new “timeline” system featured in recent titles like SaGa Emerald Beyond. There are also a few quality of life updates to make the game more approachable for new players, including multiple difficulty options.
You play as members of a royal family who need to fight to maintain control of their empire and curb world-ending threats. In addition to a deep and nuanced battle system, Romancing SaGa 2 also boasts an entire castle building mechanics where you construct and manage fortresses around your kingdom. Like other games in the series, where you go, who you talk to, and which side quests you complete can have drastic changes on how the story unfolds. It’s a surprisingly open-ended experience, even by modern standards, and the lovely remake is the perfect opportunity to give it a go, or revisit it and try for an entirely different story path.
The remake earned an 8/10 in our Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven review.

If you have a PS5 and Nintendo Switch 1/2, the PS5 version looks and runs better, but Revenge of the Seven is a solid experience on Nintendo handhelds. On original Switch, it runs at a fairly stable 30fps with 720p resolution in handheld mode and 1080p when docked. Load times can feel a bit long in some instances, and you may experience some brief frame rate dips.
As mentioned, Square Enix released a dedicated Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game at the end of July. Priced the same as the original, the Switch 2 edition is only available on the eShop. That said, those who own a physical copy for Switch can purchase the Switch 2 Upgrade Pack for $10.
The Switch 2 edition is markedly better from a visual and performance perspective. It maxes out at 1440p resolution and 60fps when playing in docked mode. In handheld mode, you can play in 1080p resolution. Along with visual improvements, Switch 2 users get faster load times.
The Switch and Switch 2 versions aren’t the only options for playing on a portable device. Romancing SaGa 2 is also Steam Deck-verified. You can save 15% on a Steam key with promo code AUG15 at Green Man Gaming.

SaGa fans can also preorder the upcoming physical edition of Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song Remastered International for PS5 and Nintendo Switch. This superb remaster originally released in 2022 on PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, PC, and mobile.
Like Romancing SaGa 2, the boxed version of Minstrel Song Remastered is only available on PS5 and Nintendo Switch. Square Enix partnered with publisher Red Art Games to bring the new physical edition to stores.
Romancing SaGa Remastered International is slated to launch December 9. If you’re interested in adding a copy to your RPG collection, it’d probably be wise to preorder this one, as it’s likely to have a small print run.
Preorders for the Nintendo Switch and PS5 physical editions are available for $45 at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy.

While the series started as a Final Fantasy spin-off called Final Fantasy Legend, the SaGa series quickly evolved into its own unique franchise. Unlike many other JRPGs of the 90s, the SaGa games are notable for offering non-linear storylines and complex character building systems that were more akin to 90s computer RPGs.
