GOODIES & PRODUCTS


The individual game cartridge was originally packed by boxes of 10, which were packed by boxes of 5. That is 50 games in one box!


The sample/demo/preview/beta cartridge for advertising & testing purposes (see data) and the promotion video:


At least 6 books were published in 1995-96:

- Prologue (NTT, 10/1995, book, jacket illustrations & mini-CD with the main characters' town songs)
- Bouken Gaidobukku (Adventure Guide Book, NTT, 12/1995)
- Kiso Chishiki (General Knowledge, NTT, 1/1996)
- Kanzen Kouryaku (Complete Guide, NTT, 3/1996)
- Renma no Sho (Practice Book, Aspect, 1996)
- Original Sound Version (Doremi, 1996, transcription of the OST for piano solo)


RS3 OST and music:

- the above-mentioned Prologue (1995, here on YouTube),
- Original Sound Version (3 CDs, 1995, 2004, Remastered in 2014, also included in the massive 2009 20-CD+1-DVD SQUARE ENIX SaGa Series 20th Anniversary Original Soundtrack PREMIUM BOX),
- Windy Tales (1996, 2004, RS3-theme-inspired; here on YouTube) - cover art by OOTA Keibun -
and Romancing SaGa 3 Original Soundtrack Revival Disc (1 Blu-Ray Disc, 2020).

There are also several versions (jazz, classical, etc.) of isolated tracks (mainly the battle themes)
in various compilations like The Orchestral SaGa - Legend of Music (2016) or Square Enix Acoustic Arrangements (2019).


Postcards!


Phonecards!


Haitian rum even!
Square Enix Romancing Saga 3 x Shinanoya (2017, limited to 161 bottles)
https://www.sakedori.com/s/shinanoya/introduction/125952.html
https://shinanoya.co.jp/saga-stage/contents.html
https://www.famitsu.com/news/201703/28129865.html


Events also, of course.
One event was the perfect occasion for dubious naming & play-on-words:
the 3rd collaborative event between Square Enix and the Saga Prefecture...



Here is a video that shows Kobayashi Tomomi illustrating a traditional Arita earthenware in 2014 during the Event.

Plenty of collaborative / related goods were made for each of those Enix x Saga events.
Here is for example an Invitation to the Abyss (what a name!) in the form of imojochu from a brewery in Kashima city, with Byune on the label.
Find the rest (various drinks, snacks, teas, etc.) in the Shop of the 3rd Romancing SAGA event.


More recently even, quality reproductions of the 'Holy King & Devil King' illustration,
framed, signed by Kobayashi Tomomi (Square Enix, 2019):


Finally, there are some fan art works inspired by the game.
Like LUNATIC GATE's 4th album, Romancing Saga 3 Arrange CD: El Cuento de un Trobador (2007)
(A few samples on the artist's page, CTRL+F for "cuento").
