Our story begins with two characters: Gustave, the heir to a noble royal family, and Wil, a determined young man making his living through excavation work. Though they live in the same time period, their lives are worlds apart. Gustave faces political turmoil and conflict, while Wil encounters a lurking disaster that threatens everyone. As their journeys unfold, their paths inevitably intertwine.

It allows you to select different events and take on various characters, piecing together the world’s narrative from multiple angles. The game retains the beloved Glimmer and Combo mechanics known in the SaGa series, and introduces one-on-one duels, adding a strategic layer to the battles.
