Emperors around the world: it's time to engage in battle. I'm sure you all come from different walks of life, but you all share the same determination to throw everything you have into making the Empire and its people happy. It's because of this you were chosen to become the Emperor. The path of the Emperor is a difficult one, and at times you may feel heartbroken in the face of hopeless battles. When you think you can't stand up again, remember the Emperors throughout the world who will continue to push forward, fighting for your name and honor. The path of the Emperor never ends, and so you, too, must rise and avenge yourself. After overcoming countless difficulties, the Seven Heroes who await you will surely welcome you with open arms. No doubt they will honor your arrival and stand against you with all their strength, and so I wish godspeed to every Emperor.
"'Make way for Their Imperial Majesty! Their Grace shall lead our forces to glorious victory!'"

Today, we've launched Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven.
Over the past three years that I've worked on this project, I've come to realize once again the greatness of the original Romancing SaGa 2's staff, starting with Akitoshi Kawazu. Creating an experience that weaves together thousands of years of history, where the throne is passed down from one Emperor to the next, all to defeat the Seven Heroes... My hat goes off to them for devising this unique narrative, especially during a time when classic and traditional RPGs were at their prime.
Every day during development, we'd discuss as a team how to make Revenge of the Seven more compelling for modern audiences and how to convey this to the world. I'm a little sad for those days to be over, but I'm also very excited that our game is finally ready for players to enjoy. We put everything we had into this title, and we hope that as many people as possible will play it. I hope that today marks a big step towards a new future for Romancing SaGa.
