Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven Demo Impressions

I had a chance to preview Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven during Pax West 2024. Then only just this past weekend, Square Enix announced that the game got a demo with the save data being transferred to the full game. This is my experience with the demo.

Beginning the Game
The demo of Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven is the game’s prologue. You start as Emperor Leon helping train his son Gerard with the help of some of his bodyguards to fight off some goblins. This teaches you the basics of normal combat with skills, or magical abilities.

The mechanics are the same as I discussed in my preview for Pax so I am not going to get in-depth but the way the tutorial is such a slow burn that helps newcomers extremely well. This is absolutely going to be the SaGa game to introduce people to the style of game that the SaGa series is.

When you get back from the training, Gerard and Leon go to their kingdom of Avalon. Victor is the brother who holds down the castle as Leon and Gerard go through their adventures. When they come back to the castle, Leon gets a secret meeting with a masked woman who warns them of Kzinssie, a recently returned Hero apart of the Seven legendary heroes.
