"The story follows Ramza Beoulve, a young cadet from the nobility, plunged into the heart of a military conflict known as the Lion War, where two rival noble factions covet the kingdom's throne. Production began in 1995 under the direction of Yasumi Matsuno, a newcomer who had created the Ogre Battle series at Quest Corporation".

This new edition also introduces improved graphics, a redesigned interface, multiple difficulty levels, autosave and battle acceleration. Gameplay has been extensively revised to make it more accessible, while preserving the strategic intensity for which the title is renowned.
The enriched story now benefits from full dubbing in English and Japanese, with a prestigious voice cast(Joe Pitts, Gregg Lowe, Briana White, Cody Christian, among others). A new visual by Akihiko Yoshida illustrates the complex bond between Ramza and Delita, while Ovelia and Alma contemplate their uncertain destiny. The original developers, Kazutoyo Maehiro, Hiroshi Minagawa and Yasumi Matsuno, are back at the helm of the project, guaranteeing fidelity and innovation.
