Minstrel Song is a remake of the original Romancing SaGA, which in January of 1992 brought the Saga series of titles to the Super Famicom for the first time. Square would go on to make two more Super Famicom titles before bringing the SaGa series to the PlayStation in the form of Saga Frontier. The PS2 version of the game goes the full 3D route. Characters look like puppets, with small bodies and realistic heads, a perfect match for the stylized "Sketch Motion" artwork you'd expect from a Saga game following last year's Unlimited Saga. Add that to the full voice used for all dialogue in the demo, and you'd be hard pressed to recognize this as the SNES original. Combat is turn-based: you input commands for all your characters at the start of your turn. Your characters then proceed to execute their moves, such as standard attacks and attacks which drain magic points and life points, and so on.
