SaGa SCARLET GRACE: AMBITIONS™

人を選ぶと思うけど戦闘が合えば面白いゲーム 戦闘に慣れないうちはそこまでだったけど、慣れてくるとより一層面白くなる。 ただ、MAPとモンスターの種類が少なくて新鮮味がなかったのが残念だったかな

At it's core, SaGa Scarlet Grace is four stories in one. At the outset, you get to pick one of four protagonists, either 'randomly' through the ingame quiz or directly by choice. Each protag has a main storyline, and while following it, each one also dabbles in two of the other three storylines, until they eventually come up against the end boss. Having not played previous SaGa games, I don't know if the Firebringer is a recurring villain, but in terms of the story, I'd be remiss not to mention that I was somewhat disappointed, since while he's alluded to during the main events, he largely just comes out nowhere as the big bad breaking free from his chains, while the stories largely focus on world elements working to release him. The gameplay mostly boils down to a continuous stream of fetch quests. You go from place to place, fight the enemies, move on to the next place, and so on and so forth. The world is pretty large, with 20 zones all of which have their own zonewide story as well as the elements of protag storyarcs. Where the game excels is that a lot of the locations within the zone evolve based on your actions. It's not uncommon for towns to be destroyed, others to pop up, with some events having huge impact on the entire zone while others just dabble around the edges. All told, it's a joy to explore. The combat is where the game truly shines. Each battle has a turn based timeline, and characters can move up and down it based on numerous factors, such as buffs, abilities used, or their their attunement to the elemental type of the encounter. Any time somebody or thing dies on the line, the group of characters on either side compress together, and if they're of the same faction (you or the enemy), then they unite to do a group attack. Among the standard attacks, you can try to interrupt an enemy attack, or defend another character who may be at risk of dying, or you can even attempt counter attack, assuming the enemy attacks that character to activate it. Despite the cast of enemies not being huge, you get a lot of gameplay out of the system, since even battles against the same group of monsters can play significantly differently in back to back bouts. Upon defeating encounters, your entire teams starts getting power ups, often HP gains, but also weapon skill boosts, and these level ups happen virtually every battle, so you're constantly feeling yourself get stronger. But the best aspect of the battling is the weapon skills, whereby your characters randomly get a lightbulb pop over their head after using some techniques, to then use another technique which is learned and can be used at will from then on. Factor in the multiple weapon types, and that learning combinations of skills across multiple weapons also opens up additional buff choices for individual characters, there's an awful lot of meat in a rather simple premise. That all said, to get the full enjoyment of this game you do need to have a certain mindset. This is very much a collectors game. There's 70-80 odd characters alone out in the world, all with their own voices and personalities of which they're not shy to show, and many of which can only be gained through certain protagonist following their story paths in certain ways. Across all weapons there's probably 70-80 unique skills, plus the 20 spells all with unique animations. Each protag also has 5-6 different endings based off choices they made leading up to the final encounter. There's a trading system between towns that carries over between different journeys, a giant collection sidequest to find some 20 odd items sparkling in secluded areas around the world, a host of unique weapons with weapon specific skills ... there's just loads and loads to collect, and if you want the rarer stuff there'll be a fair bit of grinding between. If you play for the four protag stories alone you'll probably get 40-50 hours of fun assuming the combat system keeps you engaged. If you're going into full achievements, expect 200 hours minimum, and that's assuming you're following an efficiency guide. If I had to criticise one thing, I'd say the design is a bit over the top in places. Some quests require defeating 5-8 battles that could have easily been reduced to 2-3. They could have also limited the primary storylines to be unique to each character, without the need for the crossovers that only exist to bulk out the levelling process. The crossover arcs each protag goes through are often just running around the world hitting the zone events with no rhyme or reason, and the story suffers for it. They could have easily reduced the skill caps from 50 to 30 and left the protag's with their own story and the option to do the common zone questlines as well if you want to level up some more, which would still leave a perfectly enjoyable game without the extra 100 hour of bloat, and allow the player to focus more on trying out different weapon types and characters. As it stands, the levelling is so drawn out that you're rarely switch your main party or weapons around unless looking for something specific. But regardless, if you're an obsessive collector like me then you'll get a lot of bang for your buck from this one.

個人的に圧倒的におすすめ。PS4で多分200時間くらい遊んだので、steam版で恒久的に遊びたくて購入しました。 一言で言えば、延々周回して遊べるゲームこそがサガの面白さである。 ロマサガ1，2，3、サガフロ１、ミンサガ、サガスカ、エメサガ、どれをとっても延々周回することが前提のゲーム性である。特に攻略サイトが無かった時代には最適解を自分や友達と情報交換しながら何度もクリアしたりやりこんでいた。現代においては攻略サイトのおかげで最適ルートが提示されているが、それでもなお、周回を何度もできることが近年のサガシリーズの魅力であり、最近発売されたロマサガ２リメイクは駄作と言わざるを得ない。 サガスカはそういう意味で周回要素が多く、いろんなパターンを楽しめるザ・サガと言えるサガシリーズ代表作である。4人の主人公の一人だけでも6周くらいやらないとキャラやストーリーを全回収することは出来ないだろう。攻略サイトみながらでも混乱する分岐が多々ある。すばらしい。 そして、飽きの来ない戦闘システム。ここが今までのサガシリーズとは違い、ポチポチ強い技打ってればいいってわけではない部分、頭つかなわないゲームに慣れてしまうと、相当疲れるところ。 ただ、それもほぼHARD以上なので、normal以下は強い技を使ったり、インタラプト回避してるだけで普通に勝てるので、ここで脳死状態でレベリング、素材集めが出来るように計算されている。 よくストーリーが難解っていうが、周回をすることが前提のゲームなのだから、当たり前である。各主人公にのみ発生するメイン、サブストーリーがたくさんあって、そんなイベントあったのか！！こいつ仲間にする方法はこうだったのか！！と素材集め、武器強化、技ランク強化の周回している中で発見できるようなシステム。完璧である。 一番面白いのはミンサガ、その同列に並ぶのがこのサガスカである。ロマサガ2リメイクでスクエニのゲーム作りの執念はもうないことを確認した。エメサガも周回要素はあるが、1周回で得られるものがあまりに少なく、サガスカのストーリー分岐部分を根こそぎそぎ落としてしまったような内容で、戦闘こそ面白いが、その戦闘をする動機があまりにもないゲームであり、だから人気が無いといえる。 良く言えばサガフロに最新戦闘システムと周回要素をふんだんに盛り込んだのがエメサガ。はまる人はサガフロ１が好きな人だろう。 サガスカ、ミンサガ、ぜひプレイしてもらいたい。この中毒性を体験してもらいたい。

めちゃくちゃ面白い。iOS版、Android版、スイッチ版、Steam版などそれぞれ買ってしまった。 異なる機種でセーブデータが同期できないのが残念。 一度クリアすると、戦闘倍速ができるようになるのであまり一周目で完全に遊びつくそうと思わずいったんクリアした方が良い。

　かなり面白い。サガなのでストーリーはあってないようなもの？初見はウルピナ編でじっくり進めすぎて77時間もかかってしまいました！ 　戦闘システムがタイムライン形式で敵の行動を予測し何をすべきか、この相手がいるからこの武器がいいかなとか考えるのが楽しいです。全滅することも多々あり、負けそうになったらオートセーブをリロードしてやり直したりちょっと根気は必要かもしれない。 　すぐ全滅して萎えちゃう…って方にはおすすめできないかも…万人受けではないね。戦闘楽しくて音楽も良いんだからやる価値はあると思う。ストーリーに重きを置く人にも向かないかなぁ

This game is dangerous addicted once you understand what the heck you're suppose to do. (which is never)

一周目了，放一段时间再继续。 沙加果然是JRPG的顶峰。 感谢汉化组。
