Music of the SaGa series
''SaGa'' is a series of science fiction role-playing video games produced by Square, now Square Enix. The series originated on the Game Boy in 1989 as the creation of Akitoshi Kawazu. It has since continued across multiple platforms, from the Super Nintendo Entertainment System to the PlayStation 2, and like the ''Final Fantasy'' series, the story in each ''SaGa'' game is independent of its counterparts. The music of the ''SaGa'' series consists of musical scores and arranged albums from various composers. Some of these composers have created soundtracks and pieces for other Square Enix franchises including the ''Final Fantasy'' series and ''Mana'' series. The ''SaGa'' series is divided up between the original series, released as the ''Final Fantasy Legend'' series in North America, the ''Romancing SaGa'' series, the ''SaGa Frontier'' series, and ''Unlimited SaGa''.
The music of the original series was composed by Nobuo Uematsu, Kenji Ito, Ryuji Sasai, and Chihiro Fujioka. Ito went on to be the composer for the ''Romancing SaGa'' series, with each arranged album from the series arranged by a different artist off of Ito's work. Ito composed the soundtrack for the first game of the ''SaGa Frontier'' series, but was replaced by Masashi Hamauzu for the second game of the series and ''Unlimited SaGa''. Music from the original soundtracks of the ''SaGa'' games has been arranged as sheet music for the piano and published by DOREMI Music Publishing, while tracks from ''Romancing SaGa Minstrel Song'' were played at the Press Start -Symphony of Games- 2006 concert and Extra: Hyper Game Music Event 2007 concert in Tokyo and a piece from ''SaGa Frontier 2'' was played at the fifth Symphonic Game Music Concert, held in Leipzig, Germany on August 22, 2007.
==''SaGa''==
The original ''SaGa'' series consists of ''Makai Toushi Sa·Ga'' (lit. "Warrior in the Tower of the Spirit World ~ Sa·Ga"), released for the Game Boy in 1989, ''Sa·Ga2: Hihō Densetsu'' ("Sa·Ga2 ~ The Treasure Legend"), and ''Jikuu no Hasha ~ Sa·Ga 3 (Hen )'' ("The Ruler of Time and Space ~ Sa·Ga3 (Chapter )"), both of which were released for the Game Boy in 1990. The three games were published in North America as ''The Final Fantasy Legend'', ''Final Fantasy Legend II'', and ''Final Fantasy Legend III''. The original releases spawned only one album to date, a combined soundtrack album for all three games.〔 Another album was released in Japan on September 9, 2009, ''SaGa 2 Hihou Densetsu Goddess of Destiny Original Soundtrack'', which is the soundtrack album for the Nintendo DS remake of ''SaGa 2'', ''SaGa 2 Hihou Densetsu Goddess of Destiny''.〔 The soundtrack for the DS remake of ''SaGa 3'', ''SaGa 3 Jikuu no Hasha Shadow or Light Original Soundtrack'', was released on January 12, 2011.〔
The music of ''SaGa 1'' was composed by Nobuo Uematsu, and that of ''SaGa 2'' by Uematsu and Kenji Ito, while the music of ''SaGa 3'' was composed by Ryuji Sasai and Chihiro Fujioka. Uematsu has stated that while ''SaGa 1''s music could be made of better quality, the emphasis was on enjoying the game, and not solely its appearance or sound.〔 The Game Boy's sound hardware was different from that of the Famicom, which Uematsu was used to composing for at the time, with new stereo and waveforms and only three notes; as a result, Uematsu struggled with deciding how to work with these, developing new themes for the music in the process despite ''SaGa 1''s director Akitoshi Kawazu's desire to have the music be in the same vein as Square's preceding ''Final Fantasy'' titles.〔 Uematsu has stated that the Game Boy was a system he would like to compose for again.〔 ''SaGa 2'' was the first soundtrack or album that Kenji Ito worked on.〔
