SaGa: Emerald Beyond

SaGa: Emerald Beyond is a standalone entry in the SaGa series. You travel between worlds, make choices that shape each protagonist’s story and fight using glimmers, formations and combos. Its cast includes humans, monsters, mechs and vampires.

Worlds and protagonists

From the Junction, you can travel to 17 worlds, following destiny or choosing your own path. Their settings include a forest of skyscrapers, a lush habitat covered in plant life, a world governed by five witches and one ruled by vampires.

Six protagonists with different backgrounds and goals set out across five story arcs. They include a human protecting the barrier that defends his city, a witch trying to regain her lost magic while disguised as a schoolgirl, and a vampire lord seeking to reclaim his crown and throne. Choosing the same protagonist again can lead to different events and stories.

Branching stories

Choices and actions shape the branching plots. The story evolves each time you visit a world, opening different possibilities, paths and potential endings for each protagonist.

Turn-based battles

Combat takes place in strategic Timeline Battles, where the order of actions can affect the outcome. You can support party members, interrupt enemy actions and combine individual skills into United Attacks.

Characters who join you, the weapons you wield, your party formation and your battle tactics are all up to you. You can gain abilities spontaneously through the Glimmer system, arrange allies using Formations and link skills into chain attacks with United Attacks.
