"Unlimited SaGa" is a sequel to Square's famous series of non-linear RPGs. Like in the early Romancing Saga games, and in Saga Frontier, you assume the role of eight main characters (selectable at the beginning of the game). The story centers around Laura, a 30-year old widow and an ex-pirate, but you view the story and make it progress differently depending on which character you have chosen, and on the decisions you take throughout the game. Each character is represented by a different kind of flower.
"Unlimited SaGa" feels and plays a lot like a classic board RPG. Everything - from disarming traps to hitting the enemy successfully in a battle - depends on the so-called REEL system. You have to stop a spinning slot machine at the right time, in order to perform an action successfully. It is similar to the classic dice system in pen-and-paper RPGs, and to the Judgment Ring system in Shadow Hearts. You can explore the world in a non-linear fashion, visit many optional areas and fight monsters at your will. Some puzzles have multiple solutions and can be solved by using a character's special skill. For example, a character with a Swim skill can cross a river and reach the next area of the game.

Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a historical fantasy game where players explore a world shaped by a legendary conqueror and the mysterious Seven Wonders. The game likely involves uncovering ancient secrets, participating in a vibrant festival, and potentially influencing the fate of a land steeped in history and myth.
Story
The Seven Wonders and the Legend of Iskandar
"The Seven Wonders" are ancient structures shrouded in mystery. Legend claims they hold the powers of long-absent gods, and their release will trigger a rebirth of the Golden Age. These wonders are scattered across diverse and harsh landscapes, remnants of a time when evil forces ran amok.
Some believe the legend, while others dismiss it as a fairy tale. Still, adventurers strive to conquer the Seven Wonders and discover their long-entombed secrets.
Iskandar is a complex figure in human history, classified as a young conquering king, a legendary hero, a ruthless tyrant, and even a dragon's descendent. His crusades, conquering nearly half the known world and vast, unexplored territories, laid the groundwork for a newfound exchange of knowledge, people, and commodities.
Iskandar became a legend in his own time and is one of the most frequently researched figures in history. His existence, however, is enigmatic. Iskandar's ultimate fate has been attributed to assassination, sickness, elopement, or even ascension.
Others claim he never existed at all. Some attribute his success to the legacy of the Seven Wonders. The town he founded, Iskandaria, is adjacent to Undercity Pharos, one of the Seven Wonders. Legend has it that his minions used both magic and supernatural weaponry.
The Festival of Regina Leone
After Iskandar's death, Lord Dixon protected the land until he was defeated in battle. He withdrew to his home, the Island of Elve, where he built Iskandar's Mausoleum in tribute to his fallen lord. Due to local governmental concerns, the town was renamed Vaftom ("Protected land").
The mausoleum was frequently remodeled during the town's development, with the final renovation bringing it to its current form. Lord Dixon died shortly after the work was complete, and his casket was laid beside Iskandar's.
Two days after the elaborate funeral, Lord Dixon's widow, Regina Leone, climbed the mountainside behind the mausoleum and lit a memorial fire. This was to send the spirit of her beloved husband on his way. The people of Vaftom saw the fire and were moved by the touching act.
During Leone's lifetime, the memorial fires became a local custom, drawing many to Vaftom to see the event and leading to the town's prosperity. The festival continues to amaze year after year.
The rise of Iskandar's Knighthood kept the festival from falling into disarray. The Knighthood's seventh leader, Keith Lombardo, organized the festival in its modern-day form, officially titling it the Festival of Regina Leone.
Festival Day One
The first day of the Festival begins early. The descendants of Lord Dixon, the feudal lords of the Island of Elve, conduct a worship service at Iskandar's Mausoleum. Prayers for the departed are offered throughout the morning.
At noon, a bell signals a change in the Festival's atmosphere. Merchant stalls spring up in the plaza and performers take to the streets. The morning's solemn attitude all but vanishes in an outburst of energy and excitement.
Festival Day Two
On the second day, the festivities continue. The highlight is a series of offertory plays presented at the mausoleum. Both professional and amateur performers take part in the plays, which range from historical dramas to contemporary comedies.
Festival Day Three
The third day serves as the grand finale. In the afternoon, merchants' stalls are cleared from the plaza, and all make way for the early evening parade. Extravagantly designed floats parade through the town, beginning at the plaza in front of the mausoleum.
At night, the excitement reaches its peak. The wealthy pilot their boats into the salt lake that borders Vaftom. Enterprising townsfolk charge exorbitant fees for seats with a view of the parade. All of this activity ceases at midnight when the floats are put away and the lights are dimmed throughout Vaftom.
With the town encompassed in darkness, memorial fires appear one by one on the mountainside behind the town. Those who have lost their loved ones in the preceding year participate in the lighting of the fires.
At the end, three memorial fires are lit behind the mausoleum. These are for Iskandar, Lord Dixon, and his wife, Regina. Everyone watches in quiet contemplation until the break of dawn.

How to Play
The Free Scenario System
The Free Scenario System allows players to experience adventures through the perspective of various characters. After selecting one of seven protagonists, the player becomes that character. While some protagonists may share adventures, each story is unique.
Players may encounter other protagonists who become supporting characters in their story. There will be several choices to make about the adventure's course, and none of them are wrong. The Free Scenario System is about making your own adventure.

Battle System
A Sample Battle Segment
1.
Engage in battle!
Battles begin when you encounter enemies. Select five techniques to use for this round.
β’
Use the up and down directional buttons to highlight a character.
β’
Press the button to select.
2.
Choose your techniques and take action!
Once you select a character, choose a weapon or art using the left and right directional buttons. Select a specific technique using the up and down directional buttons. Your party can use a total of five techniques per turn. This allows you to divide attacks between party members, or allocate all five techniques to one character. Remember to consider each member's HP and combat abilities.
3.
Spin the Battle Wheel!
After you have finished choosing your five techniques, the battle wheel will begin to spin. For Elemental Arts attacks, aim for an icon of the same element as your attack to increase its effectiveness. For Melee and Weapons attacks, aim for the more powerful colored panels.
4.
Use techniques or hold and build!
By "holding" techniques and releasing them, you can create powerful combo attacks.
β’
Press the button to stop the reel and use the selected technique.
β’
Or, press the button to "HOLD" the technique and use it in a combo attack. As your technique improves, more colors will appear on the reel, which have the potential to boost your attacks!
5.
The battle is on! Can you master the combo attacks?
Though extra damage can be inflicted by joining techniques from different characters, the impact may lessen if the enemy interrupts your combo. Keep your opponent's agility in mind when making your battle strategy!
Combo Attacks
When you "HOLD" an attack on the battle reel using the button, it will connect with the next attack. These "combo attacks" inflict more damage on the enemy than when used separately. The more techniques you combine in one combo attack, the more damage inflicted, including damage bonuses. Careful usage of these combos lets you defeat otherwise unstoppable monsters.
Combo attacks are not simply a series of techniques among allies. Your enemies may interrupt your combo attack with techniques of their own. In some cases, this may mean more than a change of momentum; the damage intended for your enemy may double back on you! By mastering the use of high-power techniques and combo attacks, you should be able to control the flow of any battle.
Individual Combo Attacks
A single character can execute a combo attack by selecting multiple techniques with the "HOLD" option. Individual combo attacks are harder for enemies to interrupt, but inflict less damage than allied combo attacks.
Allied Combo Attacks
To execute an allied combo attack, use the "HOLD" option on the battle reel while connecting techniques from multiple characters. Though the enemy may jump
