Comment

Akitoshi Kawazu, General Director of the Saga series

The year 2024 marks the 35th anniversary of SAGARAYS. It is also the first year that we were able to release a new Saga title simultaneously around the world. Without our fans, we would not have been able to celebrate these milestones. Saga Emerald Beyond" is the culmination of 35 years of innovation, experimentation, and a personal desire to examine what makes an RPG an RPG. We hope that fans of the series will enjoy the continuing innovation of the series and the elements that harken back to past titles in the saga series. I would also like to invite all new users to receive the Emerald Vision and embark on a new adventure. I hope that every user who picks up this title will have an unforgettable experience.
-Akitoshi Kawazu, General Director of the Saga series

Masanori Ichikawa, producer of the Saga series

As a long-time Saga fan and an honorary member of the series, I couldn't be more proud to bring "Saga Emerald Beyond" to players. Everything that made me fall in love with the Saga series is in this title: the highly flexible free scenario system, the highly strategic battles, and the diverse and fascinating characters. Of course, we cannot forget the tremendous contribution of composer Kenji Ito. I am proud to say that we have prepared a path to welcome new players to this title through the Emerald Wave, which is the key to the entire story and leads players on a journey. We hope that through "Saga Emerald Beyond," you can feel the passion and love of the development team that has supported the series for 35 years.

The latest in the series, "Saga Emerald Beyond".

Five new destinies (sagas) that bring together the best of the series

The new "Saga Emerald Beyond" is the latest in the series, bringing together the best of the series to offer five new destinies.
The newest title in the "Saga" series, which brings together the best of the series and offers an experience as different as the number of players, is released today!

A story woven through 17 worlds

Players will visit 17 worlds connected from the "Connected Realms" at their own will or by chance.
Each world is completely different, from races to cultures: a technologically advanced world with skyscrapers, a natural world with lush vegetation, a world controlled by five witches, a world ruled by vampires, and so on.

Six characters, five sets of protagonists

The five groups of six protagonists in this film are completely different from each other in terms of race and purpose.
For example, one human is on a mission to protect the city's wards, one witch borrowing the form of an elementary school student is trying to regain her lost magical powers, and one vampire is traveling to another world to return as the king of the world.
Players can enjoy a completely different experience depending on the protagonist they choose.

◆Your own story, depicted with the greatest changes in the series

Of all the titles in the "Saga" series, this title offers the most varied story depending on the player.
The scenario will diverge depending on which world you go to and what you accomplish in that world.
The story that unfolds in each world changes with each visit, and the protagonist and the player are constantly faced with new decisions.
The story spun in this way will eventually become your own story.

◆Battles where a single choice changes everything

In addition to popular systems such as "inspiration," "formation," and "coordination," which connect techniques, the highly strategic "timeline battle" has been further refined.
New systems that make battles more dramatic include support for allies, interrupting enemy actions, and solo "coordination" that occurs when a player dares to isolate himself or herself.
The characters that join you, the party formation, and the tactics are all up to you.
