1. Start on Normal Difficulty
- Why Choose Normal Difficulty?
- The Classic Mode difficulty is available, which mirrors the original 1993 game’s difficulty. While challenging, it can slow down your progress.
- Starting on Normal offers a smoother experience for beginners, with the option to switch to Classic later if you feel ready for a tougher challenge.
2. Keep Track of Life Points (LP)
- What Are Life Points?
- Each time a character is knocked unconscious in battle, they lose 1 Life Point (LP). Once a character reaches 0 LP, they are permanently dead.
- Tips to Protect Your Characters:
- Avoid letting characters go down in battle. While healing spells can revive unconscious characters, repeated knocks will quickly drain your LP.
- Anima Potions are a valuable item that restores 1 LP, so keep an eye out for them during your adventures.
3. Level Up Skills by Using Them
- Skill Leveling System:
- Each skill you use during combat has the potential to level up after the fight.
- For instance, using Great Sword attacks or Fire Magic will increase those respective skill levels.
- Tips for Balanced Growth:
- Spread out your skills across different characters. This will enhance your team’s versatility and provide better options in combat.
4. Experiment with Formations
- Why Formations Matter:
- Formations adjust how your team performs in combat, determining who attacks, who defends, and who gains various combat advantages.
- Some formations boost melee damage or prioritize healing roles.
- Unlocking New Formations:
- Try choosing different leaders for your team (e.g., switching from a fighter to a mage). Certain factions unlock unique formations.
- One basic but useful formation is the Imperial Cross, but as you progress, you’ll unlock more powerful formations.
5. Glimmer Skills and Magic
- What is Glimmering?
- During combat, you’ll occasionally see a lightbulb icon next to a skill. This indicates that the skill is close to evolving into a new skill.
- Focus on Skills That Glimmer:
- Using the glimmering skills consistently increases your chances of unlocking new abilities.
- Magic also follows this rule, but you’ll need to wait until after combat to see if any new spells were learned.
6. Understanding Inheritance
- What is the Inheritance System?
- When your chosen leader (Emperor or Empress) falls in battle permanently, a new leader must take their place.
- The new leader inherits abilities, weapons, and magic from the previous one.
- Don’t Get Attached to One Leader:
- It’s important to be flexible and accept that the game forces you to select a new leader as the story progresses.
- Use the Training Hall to relearn abilities and skills you’ve gained, as well as unlock new formations.
7. Explore Every Corner
- Why Explore?
- The game hides many secrets, including powerful items, hidden pathways, and lore-heavy shrines.
- Memory Shrines offer backstory about the Seven Heroes, providing a deeper understanding of the plot.
- What You’ll Find:
- Anima Potions for restoring LP, useful crafting materials, and essential quest items.
- These shrines help uncover hidden aspects of the world, so don’t miss them!
8. Invest in Town Facilities
- Early Investments:
- Invest in building the Smith and Incantation Lab early in the game. These facilities allow you to craft gear and learn spells, offering great utility for your characters.
- How to Build?
- Town improvements require significant gold, but they can be sped up either through combat encounters or time skips when you progress through story events.
- Time Skips:
- Certain story events will cause time to pass, automatically completing building projects and unlocking new features for your town.
9. Look Out for Mr. S
- What is Mr. S?
- This quirky character appears throughout the game. Interact with him to fill up a stamp card.
- Benefits of Finding Mr. S:
- After collecting stamps (5 at a time), you’ll receive rewards, including items and gold. Some of these rewards are highly beneficial for your journey.
10. Multiple Quest Completion Options
- Explore Quest Variations:
- For quests, such as clearing out the Canal Fortress, the game offers multiple ways to complete objectives.
- Different Approaches:
- You can choose to brute force your way through, pay a villager for easy access, or team up with the Thieves Guild for a smoother journey. Each option has different rewards, so explore all the possibilities.
11. Stay Prepared for New Generations
- What Happens with New Generations?
- As the story progresses, you’ll move forward in time, which means new Emperors and Empresses will rise.
- This is where Inheritance becomes crucial, as new leaders will inherit the abilities of the previous ones. Keep improving your town and characters to stay ahead.
With these tips, you’ll be well-equipped to embark on your adventure in Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven. Remember, the game encourages experimentation and exploration, so don’t be afraid to try different strategies and approaches as you progress. Good luck, and enjoy the journey!
