''Saga'' is a popular series of RPG Video Game s from Square Co., Ltd. , now Square Enix . It was started by Akitoshi Kawazu in 1989 , two years after its cousin '' Final Fantasy ''. It is graphically in contrast with '' Final Fantasy ''. As for regional release record, the second three games (the ''Romancing Saga'' trilogy) in the series were marketed exclusively in Japan. Originally in monochrome, the first game in the series, ''Makaitoushi Saga'' (a.k.a. '' Final Fantasy Legend '' in the U.S.), was Remade for Bandai WonderSwan Color being made over from monochrome 8-bit graphics to color 16-bit graphics. The original version is included with the enhanced version on the WonderSwan Color cartridge. Usually, the original versions are not included with the enhanced remakes. ''Saga Frontier'' is the first ''Saga'' game to be released in the U.S. since ''Saga 3'' (''Final Fantasy Legend III''). ''Saga'' ''Saga'' is believed by some gamers to have gameplay superior to that of ''Final Fantasy''. While ''Final Fantasy'' focuses on storyline, music, and graphics, the Game Boy ''Saga'' games primarily focus on gameplay, concepts, and Races . Characters and villagers can be humans, elves, monsters, aliens, cyborgs, or even robots. In the ''Romancing Saga'' games for later systems, gameplay is focused on different main characters, finding allies to join, learning new techniques or magic, and a free-style of gameplay whose order and story is not set. ''Saga'' is less popular than '' Final Fantasy '', '' Dragon Warrior '', '' Seiken Densetsu '', and '' Chrono Trigger ''. Unlike ''Final Fantasy'' and like ''Seiken Densetsu'', ''Saga'' sports cartoonish graphics. The graphics of ''Saga'' are similar to the graphics of ''Seiken Densetsu'' games released around the same time as the respective ''Saga'' games. Although the early ''Saga'' games were titled ''Final Fantasy Legend'' in North America, they do not belong to the official '' Final Fantasy '' series. This was done in order to capitalize on the relative popularity of the ''Final Fantasy'' series at the time. RELEASE CHRONOLOGY
