I just lost my interest in several of the storylines right from the bat and while I do love a good old skool RPG from time to time, I guess SaGa Frontier Remastered just did not cut it. Eventually, both stories intertwine in a larger plot involving the fate of the world. So yes, it looks great and you would call it a very successful remaster, but also a surprisingly disappointing one. The game’s plot is divided into two distinct stories, with the player given the choice to play as either William Knights, a young man looking into the death of his parents, or Gustave XIII, an exiled would-be heir on a quest to reclaim his throne. It is set in the imaginary realm of Sandail. The game’s narrative, as well as the setting and character names, are largely influenced by mediaeval Germanic and Anglo-Saxon culture. Each of the eight characters have different goals. Choose your favorite character and embark on your own unique journey.


The team of eight have returned now with Fuse added as a playable character. Summary: The 1998 PlayStation classic is back: SaGa Frontier is remastered. The gameplay is mostly non-linear, similar to previous SaGa games, providing the player a variety of paths to choose throughout their adventure. Mixed or average reviews based on 11 Ratings.
SAGA FRONTIER REMASTERED SWITCH REVIEW SERIES
This aesthetic was unique to the series back when it was released. The game is rendered using a hand-painted art style, with watercolor backdrops and characters that give it a storybook feel. The remastered version not only contains a brand new playable character/storyline (who must be unlocked) that was cut from the original release, but it also contains other content cut from the original game such as scenes and story elements. English-language versions of the game, which had first been made available in Japan in April 1999, were eventually released in North America in January 2000 by Square Electronic Arts and in PAL territories in March of the same year by Square.Īkitoshi Kawazu, the creator of the series, oversaw the title’s development, and Masashi Hamauzu did the soundtrack. SaGa Frontier Remastered is a rather lengthy experience. It is the ninth original game in the SaGa series. I can tell you it's a very unorthodox RPG, compelling in its. SaGa Frontier 2 is a role-playing game originally developed by Square for the PlayStation. The sequel featured a player-chosen dual storyline, with the fates of two young men eventually crossing paths to form a wider narrative arc. SaGa Frontier Remastered is almost an impossible game for me to recommend to anyone with the expectation that it'll click.
