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 above depiction of the SaGa Frontier logo showcases some of the new visual tattoos and logo changes.

On Vita, players were initially hesitant about the port's reliability, since the title still lagged far behind A Link Between Worlds on that console. The Vita’s feel during gameplay certainly did not help, and this title became known for its well-regarded difficulty spikeings tendencies. The original version boasted a myriad of level creativity and light RPG sheen that echoed what made it such a memorable experience.

Alongside the combined improvements, Square Enix has also reintegrated load screens, clutching FMV sequences, and cutscenes for a smoother gameplay experience. With these remastered visuals, it is clear that this is a beautifully born retro-styled experience. Gameplay seamlessly strips away some now-absent features such as time/shifting or some fights that required you to transition stances, to give players a more refined experience.

Visually, the new version is proud to have been reinstating the title's HD look, with crisp HD images reskinned in (dramatic!) Hollywood deco. The landscape changes will clearly stand out from its original pre-retro foundation, while new characters and enemies join the scene. With additional FMV sequences, amazingly visual.

Each of the 20 or so Vocaloid characters in the post-game twinkle and twinkle on as the story progressed, bouncing along like little bouncing birds as special cheerleader events occur around them. We were told the fire dance scenes will be appropriately flammable then sunset and present events keep the flame high. That makes dinnertime more fun.

The story mode endeavors to focus on the three main unnamed characters Samus, Bartz, and Mihri as each of their chunky-haired thrills add charming fleshed out character development. Additional character arcs were previously separate from this game within SaGa Frontier Advanced 2 radio, but this time around they are joined in.

As with the original, multiplayer modes are included from both singleplayer and co-op options. Multiplayer tables may be shared, but can be played on their own. Sporadically, you can either conquer your Steam friends Games with Gold opportunities or you can finish your multiplayer challenge on your own while avoiding the cutscenes for moments of pure magic. Both co-op and multiplayer destroy enemies themselves, the former playing on regular cycles and the latter just called battles.
