SaGa Prefecture Items
// Noelmun here, sharing some info on the (2024) 10th Anniversary SaGa Prefecture Collaboration festivities that started yesterday.
So about a decade ago Ishikawa-san started collabing with Saga prefecture to boost sales/marketing for both the series and the prefecture's tourism. To that end, they do various collabs with local businesses and you'll see them around SaGa events. Seriously, they even have SaGa print on the trains.
So because of Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven being released this year, they're collaborating with the local government to have some of their residential taxes (ふるさと納税, furisato nouzei) be dedicated toward different initiatives. Each group gives a thank you gift and a card and I just wanted to point out two in particular.
The other five before those two are:
Noel - JA Foods glutinous rice, notable for its sweet flavor
Rocbouquet - Marubun ramen bowl set
Subier - Squid Siumai & Toppings Set (Crab, Squid, Shrimp)
Bokhohn - Shirokawa Tea Garden's Yoshino Tea
Kzinssie - Ariake Seaweed
But then come Dantarg's and Wagnas' items...
Dantarg's item is Sirloin Steak from Saga Central Ranch. I find it funny that the item, if you're from the UK, is a "rump steak". Even the devs know it!
BUT THEN COMES WAGNAS
with Munemasa Brewery DRAFT BEER. (RIP that poor butterfly during Dantarg's New Year's exchange with Wagnas...)
... Do the devs know???
