Romancing SaGa 3 is very much a product of its time and that leads to the game's biggest drawback, in that it never explains anything to the player. The fact that there are multiple main characters to choose from and over twenty party members to recruit means that Romancing SaGa 3 offers more replayability than most games of its era. There are no experience points to be earned in Romancing Saga 3, but the characters can improve their stats randomly in battle in a manner similar to that of Final Fantasy II. The randomness of character progression might be off-putting to some, but the sheer number of combat options available makes each playthrough feel unique. There are eight weapon types and six schools of magic for the characters to use and they each learn new abilities randomly by using their preferred weapons/spells repeatedly. The player can assemble their party into different formations that can offer stat boosts throughout the battle, while the enemy's formation also determines the effectiveness of attacks. The enemy monsters appear on the overworld and can be avoided by the player if they keep their distance. The turn-based combat system in Romancing SaGa 3 will be familiar to fans of old school RPGs. The remaster has greatly improved the quality of the graphics without diminishing the retro sprite work (unlike the dreadful PC port of Chrono Trigger), making the game a visual treat on larger screens, while the soundtrack is still as incredible as it was on the Super Famicom. The choice of character can change a lot about the game, such as Mikhail the nobleman having his own unique kingdom building and mass-warfare minigames, while Katarina has a personal quest to recover a relic known as the Masquerade that was stolen from her. After completing the introductory quest, the player is given the freedom to travel the world, take on quests, explore dungeons, and complete minigames at their own pace. Romancing SaGa 3 might be the most nonlinear RPG of its era. The player is given the choice between eight different characters, each with their own unique perspectives on the story.
