Final Fantasy Meets Dragon Quest in Square Enix’s Latest’90s Remake

Square Enix has found a lot of success in recent years revisiting the 1990s in a variety of ways, whether it’s the HD-2D remake 1994’s Live A Live back in 2022 or this year’s diorama-inspired 3D remake, Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined. The company’s first offering in this vein for 2027 is a remake of a SNES game known for its non-linear storytelling, multiple protagonists, and unusual minigames — Romancing SaGa 3: Destinies United. During a 30-minute preview event at New York Comic Con, I was instantly pulled in by the game’s charming visuals and its unique riff on turn-based combat.
