A key feature in many of the SaGa entries is getting to choose who your avatar will be as you go through a game’s different stories. Romancing SaGa 3 carries on that tradition, with its eight possible protagonists and an array of different side characters. To help prepare people for the game, Square Enix has released official character profiles for Ellen, Julian, Katarina, Khalid, Mikhail, Monika, Sarah, and Thomas, as well as for the minor characters Boston, Leonid, Minstrel, Robin, Pseudo-Robin, Tatyana, and Undine.
First, the major characters. When people begin the game, they decide if Ellen, Julian, Katarina, Khalid, Mikhail, Monika, Sarah, or Thomas will be their lead character.
