Romancing Sa-Ga 2, unlike most other Sa-Ga games, is a game that tells the story of an empire rather than focusing in on a single cast of characters. As part of the mechanic to support this concept, every so often after certain events, the game will move forward in time by several decades, leading to a new generation. | |||

== | == The 8-15 principle, AKA how you know you will get a generation skip == | ||
Not all events will lead to a generation skip. The mechanics of doing so operates on the 8-15 principle. The core concept behind is this is that all events you complete have a set event point value to it. Whenever you complete an event, the game checks to see for a generation jump. | Not all events will lead to a generation skip. The mechanics of doing so operates on the 8-15 principle.
