Unlimited SaGa is a title created by Square Enix studio, responsible for Final Fantasy - the most popular series of console RPGs in the world. It is not difficult to guess that the new work of the Japanese also represents a genre of role-playing games.

UNLIMITED Saga is the first title in the renowned SaGa series developed for the PlayStation 2. The unique gameplay features are the result of series creator Akitoshi Kawazu's goal to create an unparalleled gaming experience with each evolution of the game. UNLIMITED Saga merges eclectic styles, sophisticated game play, traditional animation and advanced computer technology seamlessly to deliver a truly challenging adventure.

The story is uniquely told and experienced through the eyes of seven different playable characters, each with their own motivations for their journey. Their search leads to confrontations with antagonists who are seeking the power of the Seven Wonders, a group of structures shrouded in mystery. Legend has it that long absent gods lie within the Wonders and their release will trigger a rebirth of the Golden Age. Destinies of the seven fated adventurers cross during the hustle and bustle of a festival.

Intricate gameplay features in UNLIMITED Saga include the Free Scenario and Map Movement systems, providing the most open-ended adventure possible and allowing players to focus on the core of the RPG experience: Discovery and Growth. The SaGa series, known best for its ever-evolving battle system, has returned with the introduction of the Reel system, adding new variations to familiar combos and skill development. The Reel battle system relies on a slot machine-like interface in which players stop several spinning reels that result in different actions. Throughout their sometimes treacherous quest, players must utilize both skill and strategy to defeat various enemies and advance their journey.

Also included are a unique character development system, 100% hand-illustrated visuals, as well as a new form of animation named Sketch Motion. The Sketch Motion system conveys striking comic book/anime-like graphics in ways never seen before. The game is neither 2D nor 3D; it is a completely new technique based on technology developed with Adobe Systems.
