Romancing SaGa 2™ (2017)

Gave this plenty of time to win me over, but it really never did and I can't force myself to play it anymore. Some games are just better left in the past. This one especially because there is just no way that the remake isn't a clear improvement over this here original. Everything is quite bland. It's very easy to get lost and stumble into a fight that gets your whole party killed in a few turns. There is a lot here that is just frustrating to play through and nothing really good. Some of the enemy sprites look nice and that's honestly the one compliment I can give Romancing Saga 2. This just isn't worth playing.

Absolutely hideous mobile port, combining high-res backgrounds with clashing, improperly-scaled sprite work and an interface that compares unfavorably to RPG Maker. I bought this on sale from another site years ago, but ended up saving it for later. Now I'm embarrassed that I ever spent money on this.

5/10

Horrible game design, but it makes up for it in other places, mostly.

It's Dark Souls from JRPGs. Its hard but very rewarding after you win!! I always waited for a translation for this game from the snes rom that never came and now we have a official translation and a remaster. The history is being buid piece by piece during the conversations with npcs and the events. You by yourself will have to fill the gaps and tie the knots. You are facing creatures from centuries ago, what are their motivations? The legends about them are true? They were human before? The history is vague and this is the charm of the plot. The only downgrade to me is that even the time advance hundreds of years the visual of the cities don't change and the npcs are exact the same except for the recruitable npcs and Hiraga. This annoys me and should be adressed by the developers. The quests always have multiple conclusions depending on your actions, and the quests are very dinamic. You really feel you are on a epic quest who crosses the centuries. The game is highly strategic, specially in the mid and endgame, you must exploit everything the game give you from magic, equipment, formations, othewise you will perish. This game is a masterpiece. To the last boss... Hasten ti…
