SaGa Frontier Image : Square Enix

It’s been 24 years since the original release of Square’s SaGa Frontier, one of the stranger entries in the company’s juggernaut run across the PlayStation One era. To celebrate the milestone, Square Enix is gearing up to release a glossy new Remastered version of the game on PS4, Switch, PC, and mobile systems, allowing players everywhere to experience, or re-experience, the obtuse oddness of this particular dose of RPG history. The remaster officially launches on January 24, 2017. The new PC version is the biggest problem for me, of course. You know, video games and the PC. Long story short: the fact that many the effort funneled into this creation ends up being faff,, twaddle , half-measure, and nothing very interesting for newcomers. The problem, as you may/not already know, is that the original SaGa Frontier had difficulty with one-hit kill enemies, hazards, and game geometry. It was enunciatingly bad.

Square Enix’s legacy still holds up, so as long as you’re willing to slog through the conversion process, you promise to find a game worth millions of new, dreamy hours based on the legacy-glockenspiel; Dungeon Siege’s glories to them instead. Let's talk about the good stuff.

Story And Characters

While the original game's plot itself didn't hold up very well for me, I was easily seduced into enjoying the clash of odd (and awesome) personality dispositions and subtle manipulations of intrigues. It seems that SaGa Frontier's narrative certainly adapts, and I found the story-centered plot engaging, compelling, and interesting, even if the main characters were half-baked at basic! It should be noted that the forthcoming Remastered graphic is a visual masterpiece and can hold its own even against best-selling Japanese properties.

Fair warning: These pixels inflicted are stripped, making them impossible to achieve a true test of comic artistry, so I will perhaps just pose a question: How would Elemental Force hold up against 9-year-old video game history? Hah! Honestly, I would not fit. Each glyph and line needs its own photo retouch to achieve the greatest effect, simply put. For the record, here are some examples (screenshots mixed with words):

Fun aside, while the plot and main flavor of SaGa Frontier remains, the blatant nonsense and generic voicework are gone, and welcome for new players coming in via PS4, Switch, RPG fans on PC, or anything else who, for whatever reason, avoid the magic of J-pop idol-jojo fashion. To you or in you depends on how you decide to view the issue.
