Romancing SaGa 2 Remake Includes New Game Plus

Square Enix confirmed that when people play Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven, there will be the option to go through New Game Plus after beating the remake once. It also shared screenshots of the process, to help better illustrate how that will work. In addition, there’s a launch trailer highlighting what we can expect from the story when it debuts this week.

To unlock New Game Plus in Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven, people need to do more than just beat the seven. They also need to face the Dread Queen. Once she’s defeated, then you can select New Game+ in the main menu between the New Game and Load options. 

Here’s the full list of everything that carries over if you do that:

• Almanac Entries

• Crowns
• Field Map Status
• Inventory (some items)
• Maximum BP
• Maximum HP
• Mr. S Stickers
• Overall Standing

And this is Square Enix’s set of screenshots showing how the Romancing SaGa 2 remake New Game Plus option works.

Here’s the Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven launch trailer, which goes over what to expect from the remake. It starts by explaining how the seven heroes were banished as “thanks” for saving the world. They’ve returned, this time as villains. Players following the rulers of a kingdom rebuilding and restoring the world, developing their homeland while also heading off to face the heroes. If you fall in battle or choose to abdicate, a new avatar takes your place as emperor. After getting into the story, we get to see gameplay highlighting its battles and kingdom management elements.
