Saga frontier remastered asellus series#

Want to be able to do more weapon skills? Use your weapon! Want to do more magic spells? Cast more magic! Want more HP? Battle more! Simple enough. Doing specific actions in battle can guide the growth of skills. However, they’ve really made it their own, and polished that stone quite a bit. SaGa games are known for utilizing the divisive level up system first piloted in Final Fantasy II. However, Google was imperative for understanding the crazy mechanics of this game. “Where the f*** do I go?!” Well fast forward 20 years and now I’m a JRPG wizard, I didn’t even need the story log all that much. That was one of the major issues younger me had at times with this game.

The addition of the “story log” in the menu helped you from feeling too lost. I think this was a good choice to start with because it’s got a nice combination of linearity and open aspects. I dove in first with Emilia, and I sure enjoyed exploring every nook and cranny. Well with the remaster release I knew it was the universe telling me that like the mystic Time Lord, there’s no better time than now. I’ve constantly thought about it over the years as one of the games that I always planned on going back to. I’ve started a few of the stories multiple times, but never finished any. I actually have the physical disc of this game for the Playstation.

With the introduction of a “New Game+” feature that allows you to carry over over almost all stats and items, even the longer play throughs breeze by once you get familiar with the world and characters. Some of these are linear, some are more open world. In SaGa Frontier you have 7 main protagonists, each with their own story. Initially a very niche game with a small cult following, this remaster follows on the heals of previous SaGa releases of classic games getting released on modern consoles. Just shy of 24 years later it gets a remaster that really helps it find a new audience.
