According to Square-Enix, action-RPG Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song will drop its subtitle en route to its US release, becoming only "Romancing SaGa". The reasoning behind this, is, of course, that American audiences never saw the release of the original SaGa games for the Super Famicom, so don't know any better. This is reminiscent of the move to make Final Fantasy VI into Final Fantasy III for its US release, a move whose ultimate result was the confusion of small children and the frustration of adults. No US release date has been given, but among new features for this installment of the SaGa series include an alleged lack of repetitive gameplay and a combo system. Because we all love combo systems.

I found it interesting and downloaded it as well. I'll have you know for an article like that there must have been tonnes before it. If you read it, I think you'd be pleasantly suprised.

28 May 2005 22:33 staff Nephtis Vapid Buttmunch online \| PM \| e-mail	No it makes sense, new gamers to the series would wonder where the other games are.

30 May 2005 23:25 staff Nephtis Vapid Buttmunch online \| PM \| e-mail	Exactly, we need them to randomly purchase games they know nothing about to help the gaming economy. That's what they are there for.
