The Super Famicom version sold over one million copies, and met with positive reception in the region. The PS2 remake included redrawn artwork by Yusuke Naora and a redone soundtrack from Ito. Later versions included cut content and features from later SaGa titles. The music was solely composed and arranged by Kenji Ito, who had previously co-composed music for Final Fantasy Legend II. The character designers were created by Tomomi Kobayashi in her first work for the series. Series creator Akitoshi Kawazu acted as director, designer and scenario writer. Production began in 1990, with Nintendo requesting Square develop a new SaGa entry for the in-production Super Famicom after the success of SaGa titles on the Game Boy. As with other SaGa titles, there are no experience points and character attributes and skills are dependent on actions taken in battle. Gameplay features nonlinear exploration of the game world, with the turn-based battles featuring group formations. The storyline follows eight different protagonists on quests through the world of Mardias, all culminating in a fight against the dark god Saruin. A remaster of Minstrel Song was released worldwide in 2022 for Android, iOS, Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. A remake for the PlayStation 2, subtitled Minstrel Song in Japan, was released in both Japan and North America in 2005 by Square Enix. It was subsequently released for the WonderSwan Color in 2001 and mobile phones in 2009.

It is the fourth entry in the SaGa series. Romancing SaGa is a 1992 role-playing video game developed and published by Square for the Super Famicom.
