Square Enix’s seemingly endless quest to revive the SaGa series continues, this time with Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song Remastered. As the name suggests, this is a remaster of Minstrel Song, which was a PS2 remake of the original Romancing SaGa, complete with a lovely 3D art style and somewhat creepy, puppet-like character models. It’s coming to both PS5 and PS4 this winter.
Minstrel Song was never released in Europe, so this’ll be a completely new experience for a lot of players. Alongside enhanced visuals, the remaster also promises “new quality of life features to improve playability, and new gameplay features”, but there are no additional details on those just yet.
Hopefully Square Enix does a better job remastering this one than it did with the recent Chrono Cross: Radical Dreamers Edition. The publisher’s got an iffy track record when it comes to rejuvenating its old games, but at least the trailer and screenshots for Minstrel Song show a lot of promise.
