Metal Max is the closest you'll get but it's not properly Sci-fi, it's more of a post apocalyptic steam/cyberpunk series, imagine a japanese Mad Max/Fallout mixed with Dominion Tank Police and Akira.

It has a lot of things you'd like if you're a SaGa fan, it's non linear(and in a few cases like Metal Max Returns is much better done than SaGa), skill based rather than level based, there are proficiencies in the form of driving or combat skills since the main gimmick is driving vehicles such as tanks, multiple endings and in some games different characters to recruit or classes, also, no magic at all, not even psychic power or Espers, just guts, muscles and guns.
Unfortunately the enemy encounters are random but the game gives you a lot of ways to circumvent that, lots of sidequests, special bosses with bounties that can be quite challenging to beat and also the very same kind of exposition in SaGa, free exploration and show but don't tell, I warmly suggest you to go play it, Metal Max Returns for SNES also has a decent english patch if you can't read Japanese.
