Off the back of its launch in October, Square Enix has today released an all-new update for Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven, bringing the remake up to ver. 1.0.2.
A decent helping of new additions makes its way into the game this time around, including the ability to restart battles, quickly navigate menus via a shortcut button, display formations and adjust camera speed. There's also a good amount of bug-squashing, so the whole experience should play that bit better.
The full patch notes were shared on the Square Enix website and we have gathered them together for you to check out below:
Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven ver. 1.0.2 (Released 12th Dec 2024)

The following features have been added.
・Restart Battles
Players will now be able to return to their last save point or return to the title screen while in mid-battle.

Bug Fixes
The following issues have been fixed.
・An issue where players could not input more than three full-width characters in text fields while playing on Steam Deck.
・An issue where a debug character would appear during gameplay.
・An issue where recruitable characters in the tavern would not experience appropriate attribute gains.

・An issue where Shadow Servant and magic shield spell effects would not stack properly.

We found Romancing SaGa 2 to be a perfectly fine experience in our 6/10 review, calling it "a bit of an underwhelming RPG that has some unique gameplay mechanics". Here's hoping that the new update improves things a bit, eh?

It’s a great game. Improvements are always welcome. Claims that this game is average make Me want to scream.
Nice to see some additional features other than the usual bug fixes, looking forward to eventually playing this even more!
Nice to see those QoLs. Amazing game, I'm having a blast and my main complaint is that I didn't know the original existed when I was younger and had time to replay 40+h games.
I get that everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I'm 40 hours into the game, and still surprised NL gave this game a 6/10.
Agree with the comments above. Currently playing through this. Excellent game. Tons of systems, places, techs, weapons, with some unusual wrinkles — and it all fits together coherently.
I had always wanted to play the original version of this game but the QoL in this game is hard to pass up. Plus I'm not a person that generally plays the SaGa series, but this would be one of the main ones I definitely would play. I'm sorry that it reviewed mediocre but my interest in it is still up.
A great game and I love every minute of it. Totally disagree with NL Review on this one. 40 hours + and having a blast.
Dont worry guys, I am sure that by now the Nlife review of the game is among the rare outliers in terms of review of it. Sometimes they do the opposite giving games a pretty good score when its somewhat average, so I guess it evens out at the end.
But yeah Romancing Saga 2 remake is a blast to play and with a 80 on metacritic critic reviews and 8.6 on user reviews, it lands on a nice spot for jRPGs.
It's a fantastic RPG. definetly my Game of the Year along with Shadow Generations.
There is a top notch rpg out there hidden behind the seemingly mild visuals. But even these are fantastic in their variety and creativity. A game of the year for me and an rpg that makes me want to replay it!
I believe 6/10 goes exclusively for the Switch port, cause the console can't handle anything with this outdated hardware!
But that's just injustice and unfair for the actual game to give so low rating cause it's one of the greatest RPGs (remakes) that came out this year.
The game has a lot going for it but the switch version definitely has some issues such as the long load times and other performance issues (and apparently some crashes)
Those are the things I'm most curious to see if they are addressed in any way or whether the "switch 2" will offer performance/load time boost similar to playing a ps4 game on ps5.
