Barbara (バーバラ Baabara?) is one of the eight main characters in Romancing SaGa and its remake Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song. She was born in Mazewood and can be found in Northpoint, Uso, Crystal City, Altours, Estamir, Tarmitta and Weston.

She is voiced in Japanese by Emi Shinohara and by Erica Shaffer in English in the remake.

Profile[edit]

Appearance[edit]

Barbara has long and fluffy red hair, tied up with a blue ribbon. She sports a few necklaces and armlets to boot, while wearing a short green shirt, a long yellow underskirt with a white overskirt with flower designs all over it. For some reason she is wearing a long blue sleeve in her respective artwork, though this is only seen in one illustration.

In Minstrel Song, she has a radically different design, sporting white hair with a red ribbon around it, a shirt red shirt, long and baggy black pants with yellow flower designs near her calves, and red heels.

Personality[edit]

Not much is known about Barbara besides the fact that she is passionate for her profeciency in dancing as she travels along the New Road.

Story[edit]

Barbara with her troupe.

Barbara is a dancer with a traveling entertainment troupe that performs all over the reach of New Road. She is friendly and quite sociable, but not much else is known about her. Herman is part of her crew.

Barbara's unique cutscenes: PS2 SNES

Gameplay[edit]

Appearances[edit]

Note: Recruiting Barbara unlocks all the locations where she can be recruited, and the New Road. This, and her Fatestone make her very useful to recruit, however finding her can be challenging. One could possibly recruit Gray to unlock the Dry Lands, should one not have access to them.

Initial Attributes[edit]

HP 95 LP 12
STR 5 VIT 8
DEX 5 AGI 7
INT 4 WIL 2
COM 6 CHA 10

Default Equipment[edit]

Weapon Single Sword Shield --
Head -- Chest Shirt
Hands -- Feet Leather Boots
Neck (Amethyst)* Ring Glamorous Ring

* If Barbara is recruited to a party, she will have the Amethyst Fatestone equipped

Battle[edit]

Barbara's stats befit that of a martial artist. High Vitality ensures a solid Defense (making her great for the front row) while a high Compassion makes her a great healer. Her HP, Agility, Strength and Skill also grow at an average pace, making her fluid with any physical weapon type.

This combined focus of physical stats make Melee combat a solid choice for Barbara as it plays to her strengths.

Her Magic tends to suffer however, and she has the lowest base Willpower of the main characters, making her weak to enemy magic.

She begins with the Demonology spell "Energy Bolt" learned, as well as the Amethyst Fatestone equipped (ignoring her own story, in which she must view an event first) which nullifies enemy Demonology used on her.
