The description of Saga Frontier II is about the history of Gustav’s battle in 100 years, and the players write this 100-years-chronological table by themselves.
According to the fun series, it is easy to understand and visualize Romancing Saga II. However, in the history which passes over 100 years, general events can be determined beforehand. With creating one occurrence/event, several next occurrences are filled in chronologically. So, the players select the event which is played and makes the 100-years-history come true. Neat?
In Saga Frontier II, the player makes the chronological table and history. This generation events keep advancing and become the subject of this game. Even tough the history outline is determined, the details of history change according to the creation condition of the event.
For example, the earliest hero is Gustav as we have mentioned before, but his 49-years life time has already been fixed. However, what kind of life he passes through and what name (image) is cut on the history are decided/determined by the players.
In this game where history events become the subject, the players can see each event from various points of view. At the vary beginning of the event, they are playing Gustav, the main character but they can also have a glimpse of a different side. It is because while playing other characters as the enemy’s side at the same event, it seems that number of heroes which are chosen by an event change the playing method.

How well do you know Alexandre Dumas?
The year was 1807. Five-year-old Alexandre Dumas knew that he was different from the other boys in the sall town of Villers-Cotterets. For Alexandre was half black and half white. And nobody ever let him forget that.
Education bored young Alexandre and as he grew, he preferred spending his time hunting and leading an outdoor life. But when Alexandre turned sixteen, his whole life changed. He saw his first play-a performance of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, and from that moment on, his dream was to go to Paris and become a playwright.
Dumas worked for years as a clerk and wrote in his spare time. He had success writing plays and travel books. But, it wasn’t until 1844 that Alexandre Dumas hit upon the one kind of story that was to make him rich and famous. That was the historical novel.
In his many historical novels, Dumas took people who really existed in French history and events that actually happened. He added main characters from his own imagination and created entertaining and amusing adventure stories around them.
The most famous of all Dumas’ historical novels are The Three Musketeers, The Count of Monte Cristo, and The Man in the Iron Mask.
Alexandre Dumas wrote more than six hundred books in his lifetime, more than any other man, living or dead. And he made money from them. But he spent everything he earned building elegant mansions, entertaining great artists and writers of Paris buying theaters and newspaper, and romancing many women.
The man who made the world rich with all his books died in 1870-penniless!
