Espers reappear as a race for ''SaGa 2''. They remain largely unchanged outside of user-friendly improvements like notifications after battles on stat increases and spell changes. Their stat growth has been slightly altered due to humans now sharing similar leveling mechanics. While both races are similarly balanced in stats compared to Monsters and Robots, Espers are more magically inclined than humans and gain better MP for their abilities. In contrast, they usually gain less points in HP and strength. | Espers reappear as a race for ''SaGa 2''.

Unlike humans who have to purchase spells, Espers still retain the ability to learn up to four spells/abilities of which they have more to choose from than the first entry. An Esper's starting spell is predetermined and based on the gender chosen for them. Females begin with Flame while males start with Blizzard. Much like the first entry, Espers excel with Magic based weapons and have more options to choose from than the first entry. | Unlike humans who have to purchase spells, Espers still retain the ability to learn up to four spells/abilities of which they have more to choose from than the first entry.

Espers will still learn spells during battle, but the process has been refined using a similar ranking system used for Monster Evolutions. All spells and passive abilities are ranked in tiers between Level 1 and Level 7, these ranks are cross-referenced with the rank of the monsters fought and depending on the monsters rank will determine which set of spells your Esper can learn. For the most part, stronger monsters offer the chance for the Esper to obtain stronger abilities, but this gets tricky if the player wishes to teach them a particular spell cause it might be a lower rank than the player thinks. Also, the unique elemental starting spell for an Espers gender can not be relearned if forgotten. | Espers will still learn spells during battle, but the process has been refined using a similar ranking system used for Monster Evolutions.

In the Ability Menu, the player now has the choice to choose the spell order, this is important because the final spell slot is the one that always changes when the Esper learns a new spell, so always be sure to rearrange less useful spells to the bottom of the four spells. It is also possible for Espers to learn multiples of the same spell allowing you to have four different sets of Cure spells for an example. Likewise, Espers can learn support skills that reduce damage from magic or physical attacks, as well as immunity to certain status magic. Likewise, they can also gain elemental weaknesses this way, though it's more common in the early stages. | In the Ability Menu, the player now has the choice to choose the spell order, this is important because the final spell slot is the one that always changes when the Esper learns a new spell, so always be sure to rearrange less useful spells to the bottom of the four spells.
