Despite the name, no, this game does not have romance. Its pretty much focused on the Saga part of the title. Saga games are very different from usual rpgs, so its quite an experience.
Thankfully there's a demo to get a feel for the game since its quite different.

Your characters are not truly characters past Leon and Gerard (First 1-2 hours of the game), they are merely a collective vessal of the player as you create the saga of your empire.
Which makes sense, since you can have up to 250ish Emperors to burn through.
The story is framed as a bard telling the story of your empire, so the personal bits of each emperor gets left out.
There is a small implied romance if you do a specific quest, but your emperor of that generation elopes with the quest giver and you lose that emperor if you succeed.

Each Saga game is self contained. It features similar systems but the stories are in no way related. I don't think they are even in the same universe.
The latest version of the 1st game is called Romancing SaGa -Minstrel Song- Remastered if you want to take a look.

Saga games in general feature a rather unique leveling system. Instead of characters getting exp and increasing their level, they increase their Hp, Bp (MP), and weapon levels.
Your weapon and armor will be the main method of increasing your Atk/Def with weapon levels being a multiplier on your Atk.
This game shows you the TP (exp) gained towards them, so you can treat a character's level as their current weapon level.

Then instead of learning skills as you level up, you instead unlock the chance to learn skills. As characters attack and use weapons in combat, they can glimmer (learn) a new skill. And not every class or member of that class can glimmer every move either.
Same with spells, using spells gives you a chance to learn different spells of the same element.

They also feature ramping enemy levels based on the amount of fights you enter, so excessive grinding is discouraged. So its a constant tug of war as you enter fights to get money, levels and upgrade your gear.

Characters have LP (Life Points) that they can lose in combat. Once they hit 0, they actually die and you lose them forever.

This game's specific mechanic is one where you get to choose your emperor (main character) among your available classes and do quests to slowly develop your Empire. All to aid you in your end goal of defeating the 7 inhuman antagonists.
