Story Overview!
An epic free-scenario story of the battles between the "Seven Heroes" and the emperors of the Varennes Empire.
It is the year 1000 of the imperial calendar. The world is rife with terrifying demons, and warfare between nations vying for supremacy continues unabated. People are waiting for the fulfillment of the legend of the "Seven Heroes" who are said to appear in this chaotic world and save the world. One day, Kuzinci, one of the Seven Heroes, raids Avalon, the capital of the Varennes Empire. He laid waste to the people and took the life of Prince Victor, the brave heir to the empire. The legend was false. As the people are filled with despair and sorrow, Viktor's father, Emperor Leon, vows to take revenge against the powerful Seven Heroes. Using the "Law of Lore" given to him by the mage Oaïve, he found a way to fight back at the cost of his own life, and passed on his power and memories to his other son, Gérard. Thus, the curtain rises on a long and fierce battle to the death between the seven heroes and the emperors of the empire - a far-reaching battle poem.任天堂公式ホームページ
Main characters are introduced!
Gerard (CV: Yusuke Kobayashi)
Gérard is the mild-mannered second prince of the Varennes Empire. He is not a man who likes conflict by nature, but when his father Leon entrusted him with the Law of Lore, the Imperial Throne, and the future of the Empire, he begins his quest to defeat the Seven Heroes.
Leon (CV: Horiuchi Takeo)
The emperor of the Varennes Empire, who seeks peace and unification amidst the threat of monsters.
Wagnas (CV: Yuichi Nakamura)
Leader of the Seven Heroes who rule Yauda from their base in the floating castle in the sky fortress. When he was human, he had a noble spirit that would sacrifice himself for the sake of world peace.
Noel (CV: Shunsuke Takeuchi)
He is a skilled swordsman who is investigating the Meru Desert, but when his doting sister is in danger, his polite demeanor changes and he becomes enraged.
Rock Bouquet (CV: Saori Hayami)
She is Noel's younger sister and has a powerful Temptation technique that allows her to charm others and make them follow her as she pleases.
Soubier (CV: Kaito Ishikawa)
A cousin of Wagnas, he is a sea lord whose stronghold is the icy waters of the Nazaire Strait. Seeking power, he plots to absorb the daughter of the sea lord.
Dantag (CV: Kenta Miyake)
In his quest for the strongest power, his only goal is to absorb the wonders of the world.
Bokuon (CV: Tomokazu Sugita)
A snobbishly intelligent man with a ground fleet that runs on the steppes near the empire.
Kuzinci (CV: Chiaki Kobayashi)
He is the one who raided Avalon and killed Viktor, causing the conflict between the Emperor and the Seven Heroes.
He became a successive emperor and built history!
The "Emperor Succession" System
As the successive emperor of the empire, the player fights against the Seven Heroes while expanding the territory. However, the powerful Seven Heroes cannot be defeated in a single generation, as they must be fought over several thousand years.
This is where the "Emperor Inheritance" system, based on the "Law of Lore," comes in handy! This system allows the abilities and memories of the previous emperor to be passed on to the next emperor!
The player is free to choose the character who will ascend to the throne!
After Emperor Leon and his son Gerard become emperor, players can freely choose the next emperor! There are more than 30 different professions and races to choose from.
The final emperor will ascend to the throne when the laws of lore reach their limits!

Comments from Akitoshi Kawatsu, general director of the saga series, and Shinichi Tatsuki, producer!
Akitoshi Kawazu, General Director of the Saga series
To all the emperors of the world, the time has come for you to go into battle. Your origins and occupations may vary. However, you all share the same determination to give up everything for the happiness of the empire and its people. It is because of this commitment that you have been chosen as emperors. The road ahead for an emperor is a hard one, and at times you may be broken by hopeless battles. When you feel that you can no longer stand up, remember the emperors around the world who continue to move forward to avenge your disappointment. The path of the emperors never stops. You too will rise up and clear your own regret. The Seven Heroes will be waiting for you after you have overcome various difficulties. The Seven Heroes will welcome you warmly. They will honor you for having arrived before them and will do their utmost to confront you. We wish all the Emperors good fortune in their military endeavors. "Go forth, my emperors, and go forth!

Producer Shinichi Tatsuki
Today, we have successfully celebrated the release date of "Romancing Saga 2: Revenge of the Seven". I have been working on Romancing Saga 2 for the past three years, and I am once again reminded of the greatness of Kawazu and the staff of the original version. In order to defeat the Seven Heroes, the player succeeds to the Imperial Throne one after another, and the experience spans thousands of years of history. I take my hat off to them for coming up with such a unique setting at a time when royal RPGs were in their heyday. Every day, I discussed with the development staff how to make this work interesting in a modern way, and with the advertising staff, we seriously considered how to convey the fun of this work. I am a little sad to think that these days of Romasaga 2 are coming to an end, but I am very excited that players will finally be able to play the game. We worked very hard on this game. I hope as many people as possible will play it. I hope that today will be a big step into the new future of Romasaga.SQUARE ENIX公式サイト
