is a
console role-playing game developed by
Square (now
Square Enix) and published by
Square Electronic Arts. It is one of Square's final RPGs for the
Sony PlayStation video game console.
It was released on
April 1,
1999 in
Japan,
January 31,
2000 in
North America and
March 22,
2000 in
Europe. The game is notable for using traditional 2D hand-painted
watercolor graphics to give the game an almost storybook look. Also, it was the first time since ''
Romancing SaGa'' that
Kenji Ito did not compose the music; instead, it was scored by
Masashi Hamauzu. Hamauzu would also go on to compose the music for the next game in the series, ''
Unlimited SaGa''. The game also draws upon a considerable amount of Germanic influence, prominent in many of the characters' and towns' names.
Plot
''SaGa Frontier 2'' has two separate storylines: The history of Gustave XIII of Finney (AKA Gustave the Steel), and the Knights family. The game takes place in the land of Sandail, roughly in the years 1200-1300.

Audio
Along with the '''SaGa Frontier 2 Original Soundtrack''', ''SaGa Frontier 2's music was also used to create '''Piano Pieces "SF2" Rhapsody on a Theme of SaGa Frontier 2''', a collection of tracks from the game rearranged for play on a
piano, as well as a handful of full
orchestral pieces. Each track is actually a newly arranged piece based on a song from the original soundtrack. Both the original and rearranged versions of the music were composed by
Masashi Hamauzu.
