Some sweet, sweet news for fans of old school Japanese role-playing games: Square Enix is bringing Romancing SaGA 2 to the PlayStation 4 next week as a fully enhanced remaster.
The original game launched all the way back in 1993 for the SNES. Since then, it's been released on a bunch of Nintendo systems such as the Wii U and the 3DS. It was also ported to the PS Vita last year, but only in Japan.
And now, the classic's heading to the PS4 and the Vita here in the West. It arrives on the 15th December.
The remaster features a slew of additions, including a new dungeon, new classes, some sort of new gameplay system, a new scenario, and a new game plus mode. Sounds good.
Will you be snapping up Romancing SaGa 2 next week? Go retro this holiday in the comments section below.

Looks like a nice remaster - never played any of the originals so definitely interested. But I'll be playing Okami HD first, so it'll have to wait unfortunately!
Appreciate it when developers throw thoughtful extras into remasters. Stuff like New Game+ is always welcome.
would like to see a saga frontier remaster in the future
Do we know if there is some sort of cross buy or cross play?
Is this the psone game? I remember trying it on psone but didn't like it, the story is confusing and not interesting compared to other jrpg at that time (ff series, ff tactic, suikoden, breath of fire, valkyrie profile, etc).
@belmont No mention of it so I assume not, sadly.
Adding this to my buy list, I didn't get to play the original so this will be a good substitute.
This is definitely on my radar now. Will you be doing a review? I have so much to play right now...
This is exactly what I want for remasters. None of this horrible looking Mobile Final Fantasy stuff or 3D Secret of Mana. It looses the charm of the original.
@ztpayne7 Yeah, if all goes to plan we should have a review. Not sure we'll have it published before the game releases, though.
@ShogunRok oh that’s great! Doesn’t matter if it’s in time for release. Still much appreciated!
Yep definitely will purchase it for the PS4 monster jrpg machine
Animated bosses! O! The joy!
