Companions and systems
The Vol.02 kit, dated 26 October 2026, profiles five travelling companions and their English voice actors: The Minstrel (Yung-I Chang), Tatyana (Christina Assaf-Costello), Nora (Fryda Wolff), Muse (Ryan Bartley) and Charl (Mauricio Ortiz-Segura). Square Enix says more characters will follow. It also covers:
- World Map: talking to people or setting out by ship unlocks new areas.
- Renown: completing quests raises your rank, with perks such as more ability slots and expanded United Attacks.
- Forging: spend aurums and materials at the Pidona Workshop. Recruiting scattered smiths expands what you can forge.
- Equipment: two weapons per character. Heavier gear raises Defense but also encumberment, which can affect Speed.
- Mr. S: each find earns a sticker, and every five unlock boons such as faster forges.
Battle changes
Square Enix shows two formations it calls new to the SaGa franchise. Triple Incisors boosts melee for the front three and ranged attacks for the back two. Rampaging Mammoth raises every unit’s Speed and gives the front unit extra defence after it acts. The kit also covers Technique Point (TP) growth, mastering techs, four abilities per character and ley lines that strengthen matching spells.
