Romancing SaGa 3 is a role-playing game released in 1995 for the Super Nintendo, developed by Square Enix.

It landed about 4 years into the SNES's life. Other notable SNES releases from 1995 include Chrono Trigger, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest.

It is part of the Romancing SaGa series; on the SNES you can also try Romancing SaGa and Romancing SaGa 2. The series also appears on other systems with Romancing SaGa (WSC). Square Enix also made Super Mario RPG, Final Fantasy Mystic Quest and Live A Live for the SNES.

Romancing SaGa 3 is a single-player game, so it's one to enjoy at your own pace.

Pick it if…

  • you want to get lost in a long quest
  • you have time for an epic journey (20+ hours of adventure)

Maybe skip it if…

  • you want instant action rather than menus, story and grinding
  • you are looking for something to play with friends
  • you only have a few minutes at a time

What playing Romancing SaGa 3 is like

Role-playing games trade reflexes for strategy and story. You build a party, level up, manage equipment and travel across a large world, usually through menu-based battles.

Tip for newcomers: Retro RPGs can require some level grinding and rarely tell you exactly where to go next. Talk to every townsperson, save often and use a guide if you get stuck: there is no shame in it.
