SaGa Frontier Remastered

The Remastered is awesome and introduces lots of quality of life improvements to this game. The biggest ones are the New Game+ that carries over your items, equipment and arts/skill. Since there are multiple heroes and when you complete one story you don't have to regrind again. If a hero appears in a previous story and you leveled that hero, the hero will appear with the same skills and magic unlocked! There is also a story section that tells you exactly what you need to do next to trigger the next story mission. All this cuts the game padding down significantly. This is a very hard game to recommend to newcomers unfortunately. The graphics and music are good and and it does have a nice charm about it. The main issue is that the overall stories just aren't very exciting to play through. Outside of the main quests, the side quests are (mostly) the same and the areas are mostly all the same so it becomes repetitive. There aren't really much changes to NPC or dialogue either. Rather than look forward to trying out a new perspective with new areas or content, the world just feels mostly empty. As a player, you end up repeating the same optional subquests in each storyline to get the…

Otherwise known as SaGa Tapas: a sampler platter of tasty little morsels, boasting a wide array of flavors all produced from a relatively small batch of shared ingredients. It's bizarre even by SaGa standards, a surreal trans-genre patchwork where cyberpunk, fantasy, martial arts, domestic melodrama, space opera, and gothic fairy tale are all tossed into a turn-based dogpile. At times, it felt like a bunch of mismatched action figures smashing into each other. My experience with SaGa Frontier was hardly unique. You've probably heard this story many times before: I picked it up, puttered through my first playthrough, and dropped it after the confusion and fatigue set in. I almost bounced off of it for good. SaGa functions predominantly as a directionless sandbox: an endless jaunt through an unfinished crazy-quilt universe, where each narrative is doled out in short cryptic riddles. At times, the only motivation we're given to schlep through its side quests is either to grab loot or sate our (mild) curiosity. Nothing coheres. It's almost defiantly messy. The world is simultaneously wide open and strangely barren: an unfinished patchwork of fascinating locations surrounded by empty …

I am not recommend because you shall understand how to play this game, It is not RPG style Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest turn base

I can't condone the game being this short and the dialogue sucking this much when Romancing SaGa 1 and 3 already exist. All 3 games feature 8 selectable protagonists, and while I concede that the majority of RS1 and 3 are largely the same regardless of your protagonist, the minimal narrative in Frontier just makes the 8 protagonists and their unique routes feel irrelevant anyway. It's a problem all 3 games have, but Frontier doesn't even bother trying to solve it. This is as opposed to RS2 where the minimal narrative ends up being a good thing, and actually enables the fluidity of the game's open world, as well as the concession of a frequently changing protagonist. Thumbs up because I got it for 10 bucks on sale and had some amount of fun with it.

A very fun game. Very good music, fun characters, difficult sometimes, many innovative ideas for the time it came, and very repetitive side quests. Unfortunately, it's an incomplete game. I wish the remaster would add more stuff from "Essence of SaGa. Well, the new additions for the remaster are still welcome nonetheless. I wish Asellus had her own game, her story is beautiful is tragic. Emelia's story is a mess, I don't know what to say much about it. Red felt complete, but it suggested that would be continued. So kind of a cliffhanger? Riki... Oh Jesus, Virgil's fight is hell, it felt buggy sometimes. He just would know your combo even if you didn't use it yet. Blue story, uhh, it's really interesting. I wish they added a text in the end, though. The robot story is really fun, this one now felt very complete. Loved it. Lute is Lute. I guess, a very short scenario, and boring if you let him for later. His town theme is fun, though. Anne of Green Gables was there. The music is really good: Asellus final boss, Red final boss, Riki final boss, Battle 5, Battle 4, Owmi, Shuzer, and Yorkland. Jesus, so many good musics in this game. SaGa music in general is amazing.

everything. i like everything about this game
