new features if they chose. Reception Hardcore Gaming 101 praised the original title for being able to recruit many unique characters, unlike previous SaGa games where the characters were more generic, and praised the soundtrack as “excellent”. TouchArcade reviewed the worldwide re-release of the game, praising its character development system, though cautioning that the game has a high degree of difficulty. Hardcore Gamer described the games open world as being innovative in 1995, but without a clear sense of where to go or what to do on occasion leading to the aforementioned difficulty. Siliconera described the game as a classic “read the manual game”, even from the beginning players must make choices of weapons and characters without much context. Nintendo World Report also cited the revamped graphics, comparing them to Final Fantasy VI, but noted that the game did require a lot of “grinding”. RPGamer noted that players can become so focused on side quests that they must actively steer their characters toward the end of the game. They also noted that the side quests are too brief and “underdeveloped”. The Super Famicom original sold 1.3 million units in Japan by 2002, making it the second best-selling Romancing Saga title and at that time third best-selling entry in the SaGa franchise. The PC remake version was among the best-selling new releases of the month on Steam.
