SaGa Scarlet Grace is the latest title in the SaGa series, released in December 2016 for the PlayStation Vita in Japan. The game was also confirmed for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PC to be released on August 2, 2018, which will feature a few enhancements to fix minro gameplay issues as well as additional story content. A few days later, Kawazu responded to a fan question on Twitter about an English release for the game, which Kawazu confirmed was in the works.

Story
Firebringer—an evil god, banished by the star gods for his betrayal. He is turned into a comet and sent away. Other dark demons that have been suppressed begin to become violent and the world falls into chaos.

The star gods grant power to one man. He leads the people in a war against Firebringer and establishes an empire.

The dark demons are pushed underground, and the evil god’s star leaves. After that, the evil god’s star returns every 150 years. For ages and ages, they meet Firebringer and his demons in battle.

Over time there are emperors who prepare diligently and defeat the evil god easily, but there are also emperors who are careless and drive the world into ruin.

Finally, after a seventh invasion, the evil god’s star was decimated. The war that lasted 1,000 years is brought to an abrupt stop. The people rejoiced to usher in peace.

Fragments of Firebringer rain down onto the earth, like fireworks celebrating the victory of the humans and star gods. If Firebringer is extinguished, even the empire would become unnecessary.

The empire continues to rule, and many places react with rebellion. This ties into a civil war by the emperor’s son and company. Amidst the chaos, a hero brings down Firebringer, the emperor is assassinated, and the empire collapses.

70 years later.

Hardly anyone who remembers the era of the empire is around anymore. The world remains in chaos. No one notices a new danger approaching. However, a new hero arises for the new era.

Scenario Selection
At the beginning of the game, you take a short quiz that will select a protagonist for you to play as. You can choose not to follow the quiz's selection, but depending on how you answer, the quiz can give the protagonists boosts in some of their stats.

Urpina's Scenario
The first chapter of Urpina's scenario starts much like a regular rpg, with Urpina having a set goal to complete. Once her first chapter is completed, there is more freedom to explore and do events. Urpina is recommended for series beginners.

Leonard's Scenario
Leonard's scenario offers the most freedom and events out of the four available scenarios.

Taria's Scenario
The first chapter of Taria's scenario starts much like Urpina's scenario, with the first chapter revolving around a set goal and the subsequent chapters opening up. However, Taria focuses on casting rather than being a straightforward attacker, so she may be more difficult to use.

Balmant's Scenario
His scenario offers the least amount of freedom overall. Depending on the player's actions, his scenario may become even more constrained.
