SaGa Frontier Remastered

　めちゃくちゃおもろいのに、クリア目前でデータが吹き飛んで萎えた

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.

Nigdy wcześniej nie grałam w SaGę Frontier (ani żadną inną) więc mojej opinii nie da się strywializować słowem nostalgia. Jest to kolejny tytuł, który po Live a Live, przekonuje mnie, że klasyki jRPG są nimi z uzasadnionych przyczyn. Nie dziwi więc powrót formuł sprzed lat w wielu grach jak np. w Octopath Travelerze, czy liczne remaki tychże gier, które wyznaczały nowe standardy wraz ze swoim pojawieniem się na rynku. Z jednej strony odświeżona formuła daje części osób możliwość powrotu do dzieciństwa, bez potrzeby mierzenia się z już przestarzałymi rozwiązaniami technicznymi, nie mówiąc nawet, że problem mógłby się pojawić już na etapie uruchomienia gry. Z drugiej daje to możliwość sięgnięcia po starsze tytuły nowym graczom. SaGa Frontier to kilka opowieści ośmiu postaci, choć bliższym prawdy byłoby napisanie, że siedmiu, gdyż jeden z bohaterów jest policjantem, który daje po prostu szerszą perspektywę na każdą z historii, które przeszliśmy. Wśród postaci mamy ludzi, robota, potwora i pół youmę/wróżkę (jak zwał tak zwał). Każdą gra się w charakterystyczny dla niej sposób. Ludzie to Ci najbardziej klasyczni i wszechstronni, ale już np. potwory mogą przejmować umiejętności wrogów i ewoluować w zależności od tego jaki układ zdolności posiadają i tego jakie mają statystyki.

Horrível. Joguei esse jogo até dizer chega no ps1. Ver isso aqui na steam e sentir que ele foi porcamente trabalhado, na real mesmo, me bateu uma tristeza. A minha alegria é que eu peguei esse bendito na promoção... Então o dano não foi tão gigantesco assim. Enfim, se você gosta do jogo antigo e não tem mais como jogar num ps1, espera uma promoção, porque a Square anda muito careira (só perde para a Sega). Por ora, infelizmente, eu não o recomendo, reservando-me no direito de mudar de opinião futuramente.

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.
