Last week’s launch of Romancing SaGa 2 on Switch was pretty monumental. It was actually the first time the RPG released outside of Japan on dedicated gaming platforms. It’s mostly the same game as the Super Famicom title, but with a few extras like updated graphics and audio, new character classes, a new dungeon, and New Game+.

Prior to this week’s launch, VG247 caught up with producer Masanori Ichikawa original director Akitoshi Kawazu to talk about Square Enix’s classic. They commented on a variety of topics, including the amount of work involved needed to re-release Romancing SaGa 2, the decision to stick with pixel art as opposed to going the 3D route, and more.

Endless Dungeon offers endless, randomly generated stages where enemies level up as you progress. You control Slash here. Along the way, enemies will change their weapons and character type while you’ll also encounter new weapons and items to replenish your energy. International combo and score rankings are supported in Endless Dungeon mode.
