    SaGa 25th Anniversary

    Square Enix has opened the 25th anniversary teaser site for the saga series.

    The site features the 25th anniversary Saga series logo and teases a collaboration with… something.

    Back in December, SaGa series creator Akitoshi Kawazu said “various efforts” are being prepared for the series’ anniversary this year. Perhaps a new game project?

    An update is expected on February 19.

    I'm going to go there but the series is freaking terrible. The gameplay is.... I don't even know. The only one I kind-of-sorta-not-really-understood was Saga Frontier. the rest after were torture to try and play.

    I will say I do like the mechanics of Unlimited Saga. moving around like a boardgame pawn/traps/etc and learning skills to help out but the time limit was dumb. the failure rate was painful. learning abilities/magic/everything was unintuitive. The games just always have terrible execution of the mechanics.

    When is Secret of Mana's 25th? Mabye we'll get a decent one of those. amirite

    Romancing Saga Prefecture event announced
    http://gematsu.com/wp-content/upload...nn-Prefect.jpg
    Square Enix’s SaGa series is collaborating with Japan’s Saga Prefecture for a new project called “Romancing 佐賀” (“Romancing Saga,” but Saga written as Saga Prefecture would be written, rather than SaGa the game).

    The main purpose of this project is to be able to experience the charm of Saga Prefecture’s traditional crafts, products, and such through the SaGa series.

    The event will be held at the “Romancing Saga Lounge” in the Roppongi Hills Hills Cafe/Space in Tokyo from March 13 to 16. Entry is free. Among art exhibitions from Saga series illustrators and sales of limited goods, the event will include a “Romancing Saga Premium Night” on March 16 from 18:00 to 20:00, in which Square Enix executive producer Akitoshi Kawazu, illustrator Tomomi Kobayashi, composer Kenji Ito, and Saga Prefecture governor Yasushi Furukawa will host a special talk show.

    Romancing Saga was probably the hands down best RPG on PS2.

    I've always been a fan of the SaGa series, even before Frontier. Kenji Ito made some awesome music.

    Information on the new game delayed again
    This December, the SaGa series celebrates its 25th anniversary, and series creator Akitoshi Kawazu announced a few months ago that he hopes to announce a new game within the next two years.

    Kawazu recently shared an update on Twitter for fans waiting on new details for the upcoming game announcement.

    Game Jouhou reports that Kawazu previously said “Please wait until the end of Spring for details regarding the SaGa series’ [new] game. My apologies,” on Twitter back in February. Now that the Summer is near, he recently shared an update about his previous statement.

    Code:
    春の終わりに、と言っておきながら今日から六月、まだ何も発表出来てません。色々遅れてしまってます。申し訳ありません。少しずつ前に進んでますので、もうしばらくお待ちください。
    
    — 河津秋敏
    “Although I said ‘near the end of Spring,’ it’s already June now, and we’ve yet to announce anything,” Kawazu tweeted. “We’re experiencing various delays, and I apologize. We’re moving forward little at a time, so please wait just a little longer.”

    Square Enix also celebrated the SaGa series earlier this year with a collaboration project with Saga prefecture of Japan, where we got to see series illustrator Tomomi Kobayashi work her magic with her artwork on traditional Saga-style porcelain plates.

    Translation: Everyone is working on FFXV and KH3 and I'm sitting alone in my office playing Saga Frontier.

    I laughed.

    It's funny because it's true.

    Imperial SaGa trademarked
    Square Enix has trademarked “Imperial SaGa” in Japan.

    The mark was filed on July 8 and made public today.

    Last month, SaGa series creator Akitoshi Kawazu said development on the next game in the RPG series is coming along slowly, but surely, and that it’s being taken “one step at a time.”

    It’s uncertain if “Imperial SaGa” is related to the next full-fledged SaGa, however, the title does sound similar to Emperors SaGa, a social smartphone game launched in September 2012.

    A pity the chances of seeing this here are pretty much zero. The names of the main villains were loosely based off Japanese train stations. I liked the concepts in RS2, such as the generation system and being able to upgrade the area around your castle.
