Vestaria Saga I Remake in the Works

May 25, 2022 News, Vestaria Saga No comments

Late in 2021, S_Kaga showcased a remake of Vestaria Saga Gaiden, which would be renumbered Vestaria Saga II. Afterwards, it was revealed that the English release of Vestaria Saga Gaiden would be based on the remake.

Today, S_Kaga announced that his team is also remaking the original Vestaria Saga I, in a similar manner. He mentions that the next game (III) is still in the preparation stages because he’s lacking motivation for the scenario due to various reasons. So right now, he’s focusing on this instead.

With the help of an excellent programmer, he says that progress on the game systems is going well. Although it’s a remake, a lot of effort is still required. So the expected release date is Fall by the latest. They will also use this as a springboard towards the trilogy finale…

The remake will introduce new elements (rules) besides the controls and layout. The main changes include:

Vestaria Saga I Section Added to Our Website!

January 2, 2020 News, Vestaria Saga No comments

We know some of you were asking about this (and even before the game’s English release). Thanks to the hard work of Aggro Incarnate, we now have a website section for Vestaria Saga I: War of the Scions, which you can find here!

Currently, there’s a lot of useful pages, such as recruitment details, class info, weapon and item stats, etc. The plan is to fill in the missing pages, while also figuring out a way to organise the map-related events.

Note that the Growth Rates page only includes data for the top 5 scoring males and females from the Japanese popularity contest. Although there’s data for the other characters floating around, it seems Mr. Kaga doesn’t really want it public. So far, we haven’t decided whether to include the rest of the data or not.

Also, if there’s any Vestaria Saga content you’d like to see, feel free to get in touch with us via the comments, e-mail, Twitter, Facebook, etc. Likewise if you’re interested in submitting your own content!

Vestaria Saga I: War of the Scions English Version Now Out & Soundtrack News!

December 27, 2019 News, Vestaria Saga 4 comments

A heads up for strategy RPG fans (that should be you, right?). The English version of Vestaria Saga I: War of the Scions is now available to purchase on Steam. This is the game that Mr. Kaga–“father” of Fire Emblem–and his team created in their spare time.

By this point, we probably don’t need to tell you more about the game. But if you’re unsure, feel free to browse through our news archives.

In addition, the publishers have released Vestaria Saga I Soundtrack PIANO ARRANGEMENT & 8-BIT MUSIC VERSION, which is a selection of 11 8-bit arrangements from the CD plus 5 brand new piano arrangements and their original versions. For a total of 21 tracks.

This can be purchased as a bundle with the game or separately as DLC. However, you must own the game to purchase it. Also, the piano arrangements (and original versions) are not available yet and will be added once they’re completed.

On their Twitter account, Mr. Saitoh, who composed for the game (as well as Kaga’s previous game, Berwick Saga), mentions that he’s up for composing more tracks if there’s enough demand.

Furthermore, for the first time, the Vestaria Saga I Original Soundtrack has been released outside of Japan! The soundtrack contains 70 tracks from the game. Also, this version will come with a 4-page English booklet.

You can order the soundtrack internationally via this page. It retails for 3,400 Yen.

Thanks to @theprinceofiris for the heads up!

Vestaria Saga I Official English Translation Launching 27th December 2019

December 23, 2019 News, Vestaria Saga 2 comments

It’s been a long journey, but the official English translation of Vestaria Saga I will be coming out on 27th December 2019, under a new subtitle “War of the Scions”.

The game will be available to purchase on Steam for 19.99 USD. For the record, the original game was distributed for free, but you’re paying for the time and effort that went into the translation (plus potential licensing fees etc.).

For those who are new and perhaps completely confused, Vestaria Saga is a new series of strategy RPGs created by Shozou Kaga, one of the creators of the Fire Emblem series. Although we’re mainly a Fire Emblem website, we do like to dabble with Kaga’s games because they’ve got the same “DNA”.

However, we must stress that Vestaria Saga is extremely low budget; it was created by Kaga and a small group of like-minded volunteers in their spare time using what is basically the Fire Emblem version of RPG Maker. So don’t expect amazing graphics or the polish of a professionally designed game.

What makes Vestaria special is the sheer passion that’s gone into it. A lot of thought has gone into the map design, characters and world-building. Also, each battle map is chock-full of events–and victory often requires cleverly puzzling out the maps, in addition to how you use your units.

Anyway, please continue for the launch trailer and press release!
