Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

Like its predecessor, SaGa 3 (originally localized as Final Fantasy Legend III) also got a remake for the Nintendo DS with 3D graphics and a better experience overall.

To do:
Much more unused content.

Unused Graphics#

SaGa 2 DS Leftovers#

It seems the SaGa 3 remake was based on the previous game's remake (SaGa 2 Hihou Densetsu: Goddess of Destiny): the title screen, 20th-Anniversary screen, opening narrative, and 2009 copyright are present, unused.

Translation

---Hihou (Treasure)--- 

The legacy left behind by the ancient gods who created the world: 

A symbol of magnificent power. 

Many vied for this treasure. 

Someone would get their hands on it, only to be killed by another. 

And now, the story of a new conflict is beginning...

Debug Font#

This debug font is different from anything seen in-game.

Demo Leftovers#

Graphics for a promotional demo ending remain in-game: a set of two files, one for each screen.

Anti-Piracy#

This page or section needs more videos.
There's a whole lotta words or pictures here, but not enough videos. Please fix this.
Specifically: Get video footage that gets straight to the point.

This game utilizes the DS Protect anti-piracy library to ensure that it is not being run off a flashcart or emulator. If any of the DS Protect checks fail, the game will hardlock after selecting all moves or when attempting to load a save file.
