Discussions of doing a remaster of the game began even before the remaster of ‘’Romancing SaGa 2’’ was discussed in 2016. They also discussed remastering the original SaGa game, but decided to work in ‘’Romancing Saga 3’’ because it was not available in all regions. There was also growing concern that game resources from the Super NES era of games would become unusable and degrade. Game director Akitoshi Kawazu stated that he would prefer people quit the game because it was too much of a challenge, rather than quit because it was too easy, and that he enjoys very difficult game settings. The remaster in 2019 featured updated graphics, new storylines, a new dungeon called “Phantom Maze”, and a new game + mode. Gameplay has been altered in several ways, including multiple game save slots, and the ability to access New Game + even if you haven't yet finished the game. Players are also able to turn off the new features if they chose.
