Square Electronic Arts today announced the release of Saga Frontier 2 for the Sony PlayStation. The game is the sequel to the multiscenario role-playing title, where players take the role of several main characters, learn special attacks, and acquire magical spells. The game is set in the 13th century where Gustave XII rules the kingdom of Finney. Characters in this land use a magical power called "Anima" to conjure up spells, and when Gustave XII discovers that his son, Gustave XIII, doesn't have Anima powers, Gustave XIII and his mother are exiled from Finney. Gustave XIII becomes the hero of those who do not possess the power of Anima, and he and his followers develop battle skills using machines and natural resources. Gustave XIII's nation becomes a threat to other nations including his homeland of Finney, resulting in a century-long conflict known as The Gustave War.

　　Saga Frontier 2 is compatible with the Dual Shock analog controller and is priced at US$40. The game carries an ESRB rating of "T" (Teen). In the meantime, you can check out our import review of the game to the link on the right.
