The game was designed by Akitoshi Kawazu who had served as head developer for the previous SaGa titles, with fellow series veteran Kenji Ito providing the game's soundtrack. In April 2005, an enhanced remake of the title for the PlayStation 2 called Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song ( ロマンシング サガ -ミンストレルソング-, Romanshingu Sa Ga -Minsutoreru Songu- ?) was released in April 2005 in Japan, and in English for the first time in North America the following October simply under the title Romancing SaGa. Initially made available in January 1992 for the Super Famicom, the game was later ported to the WonderSwan Color handheld system in December 2002, with both releases being exclusive to Japanese players. Romancing SaGa ( ロマンシング サ・ガ, Romanshingu Sa・Ga ?) is a role-playing video game originally developed and published by Square as the fourth game of their SaGa series.
