Welcome to the SaGa Wiki! We have moved off Fandom very recently, so things are still being set up around here. Please note that some images did not successfully transfer, and will need to be manually reuploaded or replaced.


Note: Keep in mind that once you have an account, you must wait one day and make 5 edits to become autoconfirmed. This allows you to skip questions while editing, to create new articles, and to upload images.

The '''GNU Free Documentation License''' ('''GFDL''') is a copyleft license for free content, designed by the Free Software Foundation (FSF).


The GFDL is a "copyleft" license, meaning the content can be copied, modified, and redistributed so long as the new version grants the same freedoms to others and acknowledges the authors of the Wikia page.

SaGa and all respective logos, characters, artwork, stories, information, names, and other elements associated thereto are the sole and exclusive property of Square Enix Holdings Co., Ltd., as well as their subsidiaries and affiliated companies.

The SaGa Wiki is in no way affiliated with or endorsed by Square Enix or any of their subsidiaries, employees, or associates. The SaGa Wiki offers no suggestion that the work presented on this web page is "official" or produced or sanctioned by the owner or any licensees of the aforementioned trademarks. The SaGa Wiki makes no claim to own Final Fantasy or any of the copyrights or trademarks related to it. Images that are displayed on this site are copyrighted to its respective copyright holders, such as Square Enix, or to the creator of the image. Visitors may download any pictures displayed on this site for personal use, as long as they are not use for profit, and proper credit is given.

Written work[edit]

All written work submitted to the SaGa Wiki is placed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 license (CC-BY-SA). The copyright of work submitted to this Wiki remains with the copyright holder - which, if you wrote it, will be you. Submitting your work does not restrict what you can do with it; it just permits us to do certain things with it as well.

By submitting your work, you grant the SaGa Wiki permission to distribute it under the terms of the CC-BY-SA, and you accept that others may modify and distribute your work under the same terms. That means they may change what articles say, and make copies of the SaGa Wiki articles on other sites, as long as they license such copies under the CC-BY-SA.

Note that you cannot retract this license. You can, of course, edit an article to alter or remove your work if you do not want it there anymore, but you cannot stop someone reinstating it. Please think carefully about whether you want to write something on the SaGa Wiki before you do so.

If you want to import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, you can only do so if it is available under terms that are compatible with the CC-BY-SA license.

Work which you do not hold the copyright to, or which is not available under this license, should not be added to the Wiki.

If you import text under a compatible license which requires attribution, you must, in a reasonable fashion, credit the author(s). Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as copying within the Wiki), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text.

Images[edit]

Images that are displayed at the SaGa Wiki remain the property of their original creators, and are only included on this website for purposes of illustration under fair use guidelines. Every image has an owner, unless that image has been explicitly placed in the public domain. Unless the original author of the image expressly grants such permission, images do not fall under the scope of the CC-BY-SA license. In all cases, images must be uploaded to our database rather than linked from other servers (see Wikipedia:Inline linking), and must be accompanied by a copyright tag.

Using wiki content[edit]
