    Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven flees from the idea of the lone hero and puts us in the shoes of an entire dynasty focused on recovering the splendor of the empire. A very interesting point of view in which the role of the adventurer gives way to that of the many emperors and empresses who will open their way through the lands of the Varennes Empire. A somewhat simple fighting system is complemented by a lot of great ideas and surprising mechanics that make this remake unique.

    Romancing Saga 2: Revenge of the Seven is likely to be your weirdest friend’s favorite RPG. It is a playfully obtuse, mechanically deep outing paired with a story that is almost charming in its simplicity. It feels dated, but it also features a singular vision that sets it apart from other games in the genre. I suspect, at the end of the day, it will carry on the legacy of the Saga franchise and be a divisive title, which is probably a good thing. We need more divisive games.

    Xeen and Square Enix, in stark contrast with what the original development team did 31 years ago, played it very safe, with a remake that changes nothing in terms of gameplay, even where some corrections where badly needed. Therefore, this is nothing more than a modernized version of a good JRPG

    Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven is an AA remake from Square Enix that doesn't hide the fact that its production level is far below that of its main blockbusters. However, there are interesting ideas and mechanics in a simplified experience that could win over newcomers.

    With so little newfound charm added to what sometimes comes across as a tech demo for the new age, yet somehow still lacks proper animations and a world and characters that feel alive, this saga ends up as more of a curiosity than a truly memorable RPG experience.
