Romancing Saga is ultra amazing in a lot of ways (the ORIGINAL, not the PS2 remake! the PS2's redesigned characters and models are awful! so awful even for superdeformed art! its inexcusable the direction they went with the models and presentation! it woulda been 1000% more appealing if they went with more realistic models based on the original character designs),
sure there are some game with multiple protagonists to choose from (like Seiken Densetsu 3, Star Ocean 2, etc.), but none of them dedicated choice to the degree Romancing SaGa did things, AND without resorting to character creation.
So it goes to show even a character driven game can have multiple protagonists to choose to play as from their perspective, and still have a cohesive playthrough

and having a more open ended and flexible plot makes things even more interesting and replayable.
overall the Romancing SaGa format has more potential than even Final Fantasy games. though yea its a shame Romancing Saga's example isn't replicated and learned from by various game/RPG developers and stuff. theres a lot of treasures within that can be learned and refined upon. its much more fascinating than the sole protagonist format most devs be doing.
it really shames the modern industry how an ancient game like this is more open minded and genius than the usual game/RPG these days.
if Romancing SaGa's strengths were adopted in more games/RPGs, we would have much more amazing games with more amazing possibilities.
