SaGa Scarlet Grace

, is the latest title in the SaGa series, released in December 15, 2016 for the PlayStation Vita in Japan. Set in a nameless world where powers be them divine, earthly or spiritual are always at clash. It follows the story of four protagonists with their own objectives and struggles for surviving in an ever-conflicting world where only through culture humanity may be able to put an end to said war.

Urpina's Scenario
The first chapter of Urpina's scenario starts much like a regular RPG, with Urpina having a set goal to complete. Once her first chapter is completed, there is more freedom to explore and do events. Urpina is recommended for beginners.

Leonard's Scenario
Leonard's scenario offers the most freedom and events out of the four available scenarios.

Taria's Scenario
The first chapter of Taria's scenario starts much like Urpina's scenario, with the first chapter revolving around a set goal and the subsequent chapters opening up. However, as Taria focuses on casting rather than being a straightforward attacker, her abilities may be more difficult for beginning players to use effectively.

Balmant's Scenario
His scenario offers the least amount of freedom overall. Depending on the player's actions, his scenario may become even more constrained.

 * Taria - A potter who lived an agitated life. Now in a studio near the Termina Sea, she is focused on a calm life of pottery making. However, distortions in the world are also creating distortions in her work. In order to find out the cause and identity of these distortions, Taria sets out on a journey.
 * Balmant - A legal executioner from the Cohan Castle in the land of Kei. He succeeds his family predecessors as an executioner. He was tasked with executing a ruler named Sigfrei.
