Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven’s physical edition for PS5 has received its first discount at Amazon and Walmart. The impressive remake of the Super Famicom classic released last month with a budget-friendly $50 list price, but now you can grab a copy for $42.31 at either retailer. Romancing SaGa 2 is also available in physical format for Nintendo Switch, but the deal is only available for PS5. Technically speaking, the Switch version is on sale for 5% off at Amazon ($47.49)–though we’d hardly call that a “deal.”
Romancing SaGa 2’s PS5 deal is pretty solid considering the game released in late October, but it’s certainly not the best deal on a Square Enix RPG during Black Friday weekend. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is available for $30 off, Octopath Traveler 2 is only $25 for PS5 and Switch, and Final Fantasy I-VI Collection Anniversary Edition is $20 off for Switch and PS4. You can also save big on JRPGs from different studios, such as Metaphor: ReFantazio, the latest IP from Atlus.

Square Enix has been slowly revitalizing the SaGa series over the past few years with remasters, remakes, and brand-new entries in the series, including SaGa Emerald Beyond, a brand-new standalone entry in the series that released in April. Steam keys for SaGa Emerald Beyond, and a bunch of other SaGa games are on sale for steep discounts at Green Man Gaming. Most of the games are cheaper for XP members. SaGa Emerald Beyond, for example, is $25 for members and $30 for everyone else.

While the series started as a Final Fantasy spin-off called Final Fantasy Legend, the SaGa series quickly evolved into its own unique franchise. Unlike many other JRPGs of the 90s, the SaGa games are notable for offering non-linear storylines and complex character building systems that were more akin to 90s computer RPGs.
Romancing SaGa 2 sees players take the role of various members of a royal family as they fight to maintain their empire, and stave off world-ending threats. There’s also an entire castle building mechanics where you construct and manage fortresses around your kingdom. Like other games in the series, where you go, who you talk to, and which side quests you complete can have drastic changes on how the story unfolds. It’s a surprisingly open-ended experience, even by modern standards, and this new remake is the perfect opportunity to give it a go, or revisit it and try for an entirely different story path.
