Albert (アルベルト Aruberuto?) is one of the main protagonists of Romancing SaGa and its remake, Romancing Saga: Minstrel Song. He is the son of Lord Rudolf and Lady Mariah, who rule over Isthmus Keep, and brother to Diana. He was born in Isthmus Keep and can be found in Isthmus Keep, Crystal City and Altours.
He is voiced in Japanese by Yuu Urata and in English by Yuri Lowenthal in the remake.
Profile[]
Appearance[]
In Romancing SaGa, Albert has short, blond hair and wears a green cape. In addition to that, he wears white pants, blue boots and silver armor.
In the remake Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song, Albert's hair is blond and stylized with tips fraying out on the side. A rather infamous addition is the inclusion of purple wings. Despite his previously established figure, Albert is notably less muscular than before, and his ingame model is actually shorter than Jamil's, who was originally the shortest male protagonist. He sports blue pants, purple shoes, and multicoloured shirt with yellow, blue and green markings respectively.
Personality[]
Albert is shown to be a noble knight, respecting anyone and anything noble, as seen in the 100% ending where he notes Hawke's behaviour as rude, as he is speaking loudly while a princess is talking.
Story[]
In a routine monster-clearing mission with his older sister Diana, Albert discovers a strange glyph in a cave. However, Diana urges him to hurry back home to report their success. That night, while the people of Isthmus are distracted by the celebration of Diana’s engagement to Prince Neidhart, Saruin’s minions launch a surprise raid on their home.
Lord Rudolf orders Albert and Diana to flee and deliver the news to Neidhart. During their escape, they are confronted by a powerful dragon on a cliff. To ensure Albert’s safety, Diana sacrifices herself, throwing him from the cliff and facing the dragon alone. Albert is later rescued by Monica and taken to Loban, where she advises him to travel to Bruelle and board a ship to Yeoville to reach the Kingdom of Rosalia. However, a violent storm sinks the ship, and Albert washes up on the shores of Valhalland.
In Valhalland, Albert is saved by the locals and cared for by elder Gato. He meets warrior Sif, who is tasked by Gato to clear nearby caves of monsters. Albert agrees to help, though he can choose to refuse and complete the task alone. After clearing the caves, Gato provides Albert with a map and directions to continue his journey.
Albert then travels to the Knights Dominion, where he arrives in Eugenstadt after crossing the Shiverland. There, he meets Lord Heinrich, who is headed to Mirsaburg. Albert accompanies him to Mirsaburg, where the knights are discussing a recent monster uprising at an abandoned keep. Albert shares the fate of Isthmus Keep with the counsel and agrees to help Lord Theodore and squire Raphael retake the keep. Afterward, Albert boards a ship from Mirsaburg and safely arrives in Rosalia.
Upon reaching Crystal City, Albert finally meets with Neidhart and recounts the tragic events of Isthmus Keep. It is here that Albert realizes his true fate: he is destined to face Saruin in battle. He discovers that the glyph he saw with Diana was the gateway to Saruin’s realm. In a climactic battle, Albert confronts and defeats Saruin, ultimately becoming the new hero of Mardias.
After you complete Albert's game, the next character playthrough you'll start (except for Aisha's) will feature a short opening scene with Neidhart.

Appearances[]
- Albert's Scenario: Main Character
- Other Scenarios: Playable Character, can be found with Sif in pubs around Crystal City or Altours. Early in the game he can only be found in Isthmus Keep. He cannot be recruited if Diana is in the party.
Note: Recruiting Albert unlocks Isthmus, Crystal City and Altours. With very few possible locations for him to appear in, recruiting him is not that hard. Recruiting Barbara or Gray is bound to unlock them, should one not yet have them.

Battle[]
Albert's offensive stats progress at a steady, average pace, making him a versatile jack-of-all-trades character. However, his primary weaknesses lie in his low defenses. His HP growth is moderate, and his Endurance growth is particularly lacking, meaning strong armor is essential to keep him survivable.
On the other hand, Albert excels in Willpower, which is his fastest-growing stat, making him particularly effective against Magic-using enemies.
Albert begins the game with the first Cosmology spell, Sunray, already learned.
Differences between the versions[]
- Albert's design is different to the original version of the game.
- In the remake, when attacked by the dragons during the assault on Isthmus Keep, Albert is not given the choice to try and save Diana, run away, or [third option forgotten].
- In the SNES version, he was able to encounter Diana during one quest. In the PS2 version, it is impossible for Albert to encounter Diana, though she is seen with Neidhart during the ending as well as in Bruelle, impossible to reach.

- Story
- "A boy aristocrat who is guided by fate destined and has a different world. Born as a son of the Isthmus Keep who is in a different world, he was grown up straight with the wisdom of his parents and brave sister. Somewhat naive and unreliable, there are some aspects that can not be relied on, but it has the power to bear the essentials of protecting the border in the future. However, one day before the ceremony of the adult was ahead of the ceremony, the castle collapsed due to the army of the demon who suddenly got out. Destiny imposed a further trial on him who was escaped by the older sister who is a knight at the desperation of death. (運命石に導かれし異界の少年貴族。異界にあるというイスマス城主の息子として生まれ、賢明な両親と勇敢な姉の愛に育まれ真っ直ぐに成長した。やや世間知らずで頼りない面もあるが、将来国境の守りの要を担うに相当しい力を秘めている。しかし成人の儀式を目前に控えたある日、突如湧いた魔物の軍勢により城は陥落。騎士である姉の決死の覚悟で逃がされた彼に、運命は更なる試練を課した。?)"

Trivia[]
- Unlike other protagonists, Albert has a significant amount of his own storyline. This, coupled with the final dungeon being located in Isthmus Keep, has led some to consider him the main character of the game. However, others believe these traits were designed to make Albert the best starting character for new players.
- If the player recruits Albert early in other characters' scenarios, it is possible to visit Prince Neidhart and complete Albert's part of the scenario.
- Albert is the only character with access to Neidhart's castle. He must always be present in the party if one wishes to enter Crystal Palace. Even with Diana, Neidhart's wife, who resides in the castle, entry is impossible.
- Albert and Diana can never be in the same party (excluding the introduction to Albert's scenario), nor can they ever encounter one another. This was possible in the original SNES version, where Albert could meet Diana in Crystal Palace for a limited time. This quest was not completed or translated in the remake, but hints remain that it was planned: Diana is in Bruelle, the tower there has an arrow suggesting it should be accessible, and Albert can still be captured by guards in Loban and thrown into jail, where he hears about events related to the "Ailing Emperor" quest.
- Albert and Gray are the only characters able to permanently change their outfits. When playing as Albert, he obtains his new armor at the end of the Dragon Knight quest if Neidhart is in the party and the dragon survives.
- Sif and Albert seem to be closely connected, as they meet early in their respective scenarios and can often be found together in pubs. However, Albert cannot obtain the Dragon Orb in his scenario, which is ironic, as both the conclusion of the Dragon Orb quest and Mirsa's Armor are located in the Dragon Court.
- Albert is one of two main characters who start with a specific skill, Cosmology, regardless of the chosen class; the other being Barbara.
- Albert was featured in the A-Lim mobile game Brave Frontier as part of a crossover promotion. His appearance is based on his original design.
