The original is Romancing SaGa for the Super Famicom. It came out in 1992, but like all the Romancing SaGas, it wasn't released outside of Japan. That's why the remake is called Romancing SaGa: Minstrel's Song in Japan but simply Romancing SaGa in America.

It's unrealistic, but I wish this game would just sell like crazy so Square Enix would be motivated to remake Romancing SaGa 3.
