Once upon a time, three evil gods fought against the holy gods, and the holy God-Father chose a human warrior to help them.
Finally, after a prolonged, terrible war, the leader of the three evil gods - Death, the eldest of them - surrendered.

The youngest evil god, Schirach, became a human and has lost her powers.
The middle one, Saruin, was sealed away in the dark world.
Now, after thousand years have passed, and the seal of Saruin has weakened, it is time for you, the hero of the new generation, to defeat him.
Romancing SaGa is the fourth installment in the long SaGa series - non-linear role-playing games with several main heroes.
It is the first of the three SNES (Super Famicom) entries (following the first three games in the series, which were known as Final Fantasy Legend outside of Japan).
In this game, you play the stories of eight characters, which will later unite to face the ultimate evil.
The eight characters belong to different classes and have different abilities.
There are four male characters (noble son, thief, adventurer, and pirate), and four female ones (nomad, ranger, dancer, and savage).
The combat is turn-based, with enemies visible on screen.
Taking a cue from the Famicom game Final Fantasy II , instead of "leveling" your character as a whole you level specific abilities such as a type of weapon or magic, as well as, stats such as HP and Strength and Intelligence.
New to this entry abilities are randomly unlocked during battle as a light-bulb appears over the characters head and the new ability is unleashed to the surprise of friend and foe.
This serendipitous element of gameplay along with the multiple heroes to choose from greatly enhance the replay value as no two playthroughs are alike; the steep learning curve of the SaGa games might require multiple playthroughs to truly master the system.
The limited cartridge size of the Super Famicom caused some of the planned content for the game to be cut.

About PlayStation 2
The PlayStation 2 (2000) is the best-selling game console in history, with a library exceeding 9,000 titles that spans everything from budget shovelware to genre-defining classics. That massive volume means PS2 collecting is accessible and affordable overall, but a handful of low-print-run RPGs and cult titles have become genuinely expensive — a common pattern once a console's original audience grows up with disposable income.
Gamevaro tracks Romancing SaGa (2005) for PlayStation 2 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Romancing SaGa (2005) to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS2 release dates back to 2005.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Romancing SaGa (2005), suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common PlayStation 2 titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
