Critic Reviews for Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven
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.
This polished remake of an obscure JRPG gem is the most inviting way to dive into Square Enix's long-running SaGa series.
Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven is a bit of an underwhelming RPG that has some unique gameplay mechanics. The open-ended world narrative structure feels freeing, but the characters are boring. The glimmer mechanic is fun, but the battle system lacks a strategic hook. Each of its gameplay systems is a double-edged sword, as we'd find a particular aspect enticing while another was baffling. It feels like a slight step back from the other recent SaGa games, but if you're a fan of the series, Revenge of the Seven might resonate with you more than it did with us.
Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven is a wonderful remake of a game few in the west have played, with seriously compelling combat.
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

The history of Japanese role-playing games may have been very different if Romancing SaGa 2 had reached the whole world at the time, but it's never too late: today, and thanks to this fantastic remake, we can discover and enjoy it in its best possible version.

As one of games media’s self-described SaGa Sickos, I had one question on my mind coming into Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven. Could a SaGa be rebuilt, explicitly for approachability, and still feel like SaGa? Or would sanding it down and making it friendlier turn it into a less daring and bold RPG that’s harder to distinguish from Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest? While some parts did have me feeling a little curmudgeonly, at the end of the day the answer is yes. Romancing SaGa 2’s remake is a fulfilling journey, giving fans of the original plenty to sink their teeth into, while simultaneously offering something that’s a lot more palatable for curious parties to finally set their fears aside and try something new. If it clicks, though, I implore you to dive into the deep end afterwards. Don't sleep on SaGa!
A welcome generational transition that elevates the staples of the 1993 classic. A must for fans.
