Same here, just two years to go.
Oh well, there's nothing one can do against time.

And talking about time, merry christmas.

You won't shut up because we have done this before and the gba was shut down then and every time since then. So how about you just shut up about it now. We already have rules in place, either deal with it or fucking leave. There's plenty of other sites you can go to for this if you don't like it here.

Romancing Christmas Edition

Previous Thread:>>2087484

>What is SaGa?
It's a Jrpg series produced by Akitoshi Kawazu back in the early Final Fantasy days, however it differs from most other Jrpg series by being more Wrpg oriented, it's non-linear, with multiple main characters, multiple endings and very unusual mechanics based on classic Tabletop RPGs
>What are the games?
The first SaGa games are known in the west as Final Fantasy Legends, so chances are you played those in your childhood on ye olde brick GB, then there is the Romancing SaGa trilogy on the SNES, the two SaGa Frontier titles on the PS One and Minstrel Song(a remake of the first Romancing SaGa) and Unlimited: Saga on the PS2.
>What are the games I can play in English
All the FFL titles were localized, same with the PS One and PS2 titles, there is also an english patch for Romancing SaGa 3 but unfortunately the first two titles are still in Japanese only, though there are already translation projects in the works.

A SaGa 25th Anniversary livestream event will be happening on the 14th with Kawazu, Masanori Ichikawa, Tomomi Kobayashi and Kenji Ito.

They'll be playing Makai Toushi SaGa from 11-18:00 Japan time, then the big anniversary event runs from 18-20:00 (for EST, the event runs 9pm Saturday to 6am Sunday, 4-6:00 being the good part). There will be a live performance by Kenji Ito and "the state of the series" which will presumably ne a lot of talk about Emperors SaGa and whatever crossover events they have planned for the future, and if a new game announcement is ever going to happen that will probably be when.

Also the official SaGa Facebook page has been updating with fun trivia every day while counting down to the anniversary.

Thanks the anons who contributed in the old thread!
