Gameplay
SaGa: Scarlet Grace is a role-playing video game in which players take control of four different protagonist through separate scenarios; each character can pick up a group of followers, with up to four joining them in battle. Prior to starting the game, the player is asked a series of questions; the answers allow the game to recommend which character to start with. The core narrative is advanced by completing events on the game's world map; these events range from battles to story-based interactions with non-playable characters (NPCs). Due to the nonlinear gameplay of Scarlet Grace, events can be completed in any order or ignored entirely, with which events were completed impacting the narrative and later events. The world map is represented using two-dimensional (2D) artwork, while the chosen protagonist is represented using a three-dimensional (3D) model. Prior to triggering a battle, the enemy's strength and loot are displayed.

Synopsis
The story follows four protagonists pursuing separate missions across the splintered remains of a lost empire; central to the plot is the Fire Bringer, a deity hostile to humanity. Gameplay focuses on the game's four protagonists exploring the world in a nonlinear fashion, taking part in turn-based battles where skill growth depends on usage in battle.

How is this games? Looking at the video without knowing too much, it was looking outdated. Then i learned it’s a vita port which explain a lot.

I saw this on the App Store. The screenshots don’t do it justice. Chaos Rings 3 had a Vita port in Japan. I just wonder if this is any good?

Very late response, but the game is great. I can't put it down. If you like rpgs, this is definitely worth a try. I've been having a blast. The world map exploration is fun, the combat is deeper than it first lets on and it somewhat feels like a board game. This is my favorite game of 2019.

Glad to see someone else who enjoyed the game, I'm in my final playthrough playing as Taria, the battle system in this game is fucking addicting and the stories are surprisingly well written.

Is this game for me if I like Saga Frontier 2, Unlimited Saga and Romancing Saga 2?
Never heard of this before, just saw it randomly mentioned in some forum WTF
Is there better performance on PS4?

It's worth it, I think. Performance is passable from what I remember.

Pretty sure you'll like it if you liked those titles.

Compared to previous titles Scarlet Grace is a bit harder and more complex but in exchange, it actually explains all mechanics in an ingame guide.
