About this game:
  • The celebrated RPG classic comes West for the first time! Developed by industry veterans including the legendary developer Akitoshi Kawazu, Romancing SaGa 3 was originally released in Japan in 1995. This HD remaster of the legendary RPG masterpiece introduces optimized graphics, a new dungeon to explore, new scenarios and a new game+ function. Select one of the 8 unique protagonists and embark on an epic adventure defined by your own choices!
  • Once every 300 years, the Rise of Morastrum threatens the existence of our world. All born in that year are doomed to perish before its end. However, there came a time when a sole child did survive. He was using the power of death to conquer the world. Yet one day, he vanished. Another 300 years passed, and again a child defied fate. She came to be known as the Matriarch. It has been 300-odd years since the appearance of the Matriarch. Humanity now stands at the fulcrum between hope and despair. Will there be another child of destiny?

Original poster may indeed have Japanese heritage one way or another. The Internet is a large place. But in the interest of attempting to be informative: IPS ROM patching is something that has been common for a long time. This is a method that allows for translation of games that are not generally available otherwise. It is quite possible that he had access to a translated version of the game, along with a host of other possibilities.

Another classic and nostalgia from my childhood to add to my backlog. Thanks! This game can be very frustrating and difficult even by JRPG standards. So it is not for everyone.

Were you born in Japan? This game was unavailable to the wider world until the remastered version was released and localized in 2019.
