The sequel to Saga Frontier, but also to the less known SNES Romancing SaGa
series, "Saga Frontier 2" allows you to play the stories of two main
characters - a young prince Gustave XIII, who has been exiled from his
homeland because he was unable to use the mysterious power of Anima and
to become a worthy successor to the throne, and William Knights, a
treasure hunter, who strives to find ancient artefacts containing great
powers. Their stories are connected to each other, and each story
occupies almost a lifetime: the characters grow up and die, new
characters are born, etc.
"Saga Frontier 2" continues the
non-linear gameplay traditions of the SaGa series. You can visit all
towns at your wish and at any time, recruit anyone to your party, and
freely upgrade your party members by gaining new abilities and
distributing them among your characters. You can learn magic spells by
collecting artefacts, and combining them to produce more powerful types
of magic. Similar to Konami's Suikoden series, there are three types of combat: one-on-one (duel), turn-based party combat, and strategic army battles.
