A little over a dozen years after the last disaster, the Four Sinistrals have returned, seeking to reopen the Abyss Gates and bring ruin to the world. On their journey to save the world, players can choose which lands to visit, which stories to pursue and the order in which to confront the Sinistrals, ensuring a unique adventure with every playthrough. Romancing SaGa 3: Destinies United features both classic, original orchestration by legendary composer Kenji Ito, alongside newly arranged versions created for this remake under his supervision. The title also features fully modernized HD visuals and fully voiced event scenes in both Japanese and English.
