The original Japanese release was supplemented by multiple guidebooks and a manga adaptation. Reception of the original version was generally positive, while its worldwide remaster also saw praise from critics for its battle system and inheritance mechanic. Romancing SaGa 2 is the best-selling of the three Romancing SaGa titles, having sold over 1.5 million copies in Japan. The remaster, which was initiated by Kawazu, adjusted to remove bugs while preserving the sprite artwork. The delayed start to production allowed Kawazu to rethink the game design, changing the multiple protagonists of Romancing SaGa to focus on a single dynastic line with associated gameplay elements. Returning staff members including series creator Akitoshi Kawazu as director, lead designer and writer illustrator Tomomi Kobayashi and composer Kenji Ito. Production began in 1992 after a prolonged concept period during which original staff were working on the Final Fantasy series. A key mechanic is choosing the next ruler of Avalon, who will inherit the abilities of the previous ruler. As with other SaGa titles, there are no experience points and character attributes and skills are dependent on actions taken in battle. Gameplay features nonlinear exploration and expansion of the game world and narrative, with the turn-based battles featuring group formations. Set during the history of the kingdom of Avalon, the player takes on the role of a dynasty of rulers as they fight the Seven Heroes, former saviors of the world corrupted into demons. This version was remastered by ArtePiazza and released worldwide between 20 by Square Enix for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Android, iOS, Microsoft Windows and Xbox One. It received an expanded port for Japanese mobile devices from Square Enix in 2011. It is the fifth entry in the SaGa series.
