Production began in 1990, with Nintendo requesting Square develop a new "SaGa" entry for the in-production Super Famicom after the success of "SaGa" titles on the Game Boy. Series creator Akitoshi Kawazu acted as director, designer and scenario writer. The character designers were created by Tomomi Kobayashi in her first work for the series. The music was solely composed and arranged by Kenji Ito, who had previously co-composed music for "Final Fantasy Legend II". The title "Romancing SaGa" was based on the adventure movie "Romancing the Stone".
