The game takes place on a world called Ticondera. 5000 years ago, a divine being named Saro defeated an evil entity named Gorsia with the power of seven runes. In the years since then, the runes have been scattered across the globe. Lemele, the son of Saro, was born 100 years ago, and became a hero when he defeated the demon Gariso. Now 100 years old, Lemele has become the benevolent and powerful ruler of the world. The 7th Saga is the localized version of the Super Famicom game Elnard. It is infamous for its high difficulty, whereas its Japanese counterpart is much easier. The 7th Saga also features some other changes, such as different character sprites.
