Actual Entry (non editable)
ロマンシング サ・ガ (c) 1992 Square Company, Limited. (Romancing Sa-Ga) Romancing Sa-Ga was a bold departure from the standard JRPG template of its time. Rather than forcing players along a strictly linear cinematic path, it introduced the "Free Scenario System," which allowed players to choose from eight distinct protagonists and navigate the world of Mardias with unprecedented freedom. The gameplay is characterized by its non-linear exploration, branching story quests, and a growth system where statistics and techniques are honed through active usage in combat rather than fixed level-ups. - TECHNICAL - GAME ID: SHVC-RS BARCODE: 4 961012 916030 Specifications: The software utilizes a specialized memory-mapping configuration on a 12-megabit ROM board. - TRIVIA - Released on January 28, 1992 (Tuesday) in Japan. The Post-FFIV Corporate Restructuring: Following the completion of Final Fantasy IV in the spring of 1991, Square Tokyo underwent a massive internal reorganization. The development talent was strategically divided into four specialized units: the Final Fantasy V team, the Romancing Sa-Ga team, the "Simulation" team (directed by Kazuhiko Aoki of Hanjuku Hero fame), and the 'MaruTori' team, tasked with the experimental Toriyama Akira Project. A Radical Mechanical Departure: In direct contrast to the highly curated, plot-driven 'active time battle' systems being perfected by the Final Fantasy team, the Romancing Sa-Ga team focused on emergent gameplay. Characters do not earn generic "experience points"; instead, they develop specialized weapon proficiencies and individual physical statistics based purely on the actions they perform during active combat encounters. Non-Linear Narrative Constraints: The 'Free Scenario' design philosophy was a high-risk gamble. Because the story did not hold the player's hand, it was entirely possible to bypass major plot events or inadvertently lock oneself out of specific character recruitment paths, requiring players to communicate via gaming magazines and fanzines to map out the game's hidden logical branches. - STAFF - Producer: Masafumi Miyamoto Character Design: Tomomi Kobayashi FIELD MAP SECTION System Design: Akitoshi Kawazu Field Map Program: Keizo Kokubo Field Map Design: Toshiyuki Inoue, Yoshinori Kitase, Nobuyuki Inoue, Tetsuya Takahashi, Akira Ueda Field OBJ Design: Kazuko Shibuya Field BG Design: Hiromi Ito BATTLE SECTION Battle Design: Akitoshi Kawazu Battle Program: Satoru Yoshieda Effect Animation: Nobuyuki Inoue Monster Design: Manabu Daishima, Hiroshi Takai Battle OBJ Design: Kazuko Shibuya Effect OBJ Design: Hiromi Ito Battle BG Design: Hiroshi Takai WORLD MAP SECTION World Map Program: Tomoki Anazawa World Map Graphics: Kazuko Shibuya SYSTEM SECTION Scenario: Akitoshi Kawazu Menu Program: Tomoki Anazawa SOUND SECTION Music Compose: Kenji Ito Music Program: Minoru Akao Sound Effect: Youki Kikuta, Akira Ueda "Heartful Tears" from SaGa 2 Originally Compose: Nobuo Uematsu VISUAL SECTION Opening Visual: Hiroshi Takai Ending Visual: Manabu Daishima Play Test: Toshiaki Suzuki, Naoki Goto, Ryusuke Kobayakawa, Hidetoshi Kezuka, Shinichi Sano Advisers: Square Staff Director: Akitoshi Kawazu Presented by Square. - SOURCES - ROM dump (MAME).
