When I played the remaster, I was pleasantly surprised how well the game stood the test of time. This is the same game you loved only with upscaled visuals and some new and extremely welcome options. She also arguably gets the best recruit pool in the game (besides Fuse now, I guess). When SaGa Frontier was first released in 1997, it was not magnificent, but it was memorable for its interesting attempts to do many things differently than the time-honored jRPG tradition demanded. Anyway, Square Enix hit the sweet spot with this one. Right at the start you get to choose a protagonist, and each story is distinct. The first one is the most outwardly appealing: SaGa Frontier isn’t just one story, it’s several. There are, I believe, three major pillars to that system.

Having characters using different types of attacks can help here, a Sword + Fist + Gun + Magic + Monster attack combo is usually easier than a 5 Sword combo.Īs for Emelia specifically, I always found her to have the easiest final boss of all the characters. SaGa Frontier Remastered Review SaGa Frontier’s soul lies in its Free Scenario System. If you're averaging 3 to 5 character combos every turn against the boss, you'll kill them much quicker than otherwise. Luckily, SaGa Frontier definitely falls in the latter category for me. On the other, they can sometimes shine light on forgotten titles that deserve a second chance.
On one hand, it’s easy to argue that some of these seem to be at best quick cash grabs. The other thing that usually makes a difference is learning better combos. The current trend of remastered titles on modern systems is both good and bad. Like, there's at least three end-game quality swords that almost anyone can get, so grabbing those is useful for any characters using swords. Which is another reason to do side quests, you get gear from dungeons and enemy drops! It's vital to familiarize yourself with the static elements of the game world, know where certain items and gear are in every scenario, etc. A must for all RPG fans but have Google on standby. These can be overlooked when a game is just so well crafted and fun to play as this. Some of the game’s mechanics are poorly explained and the difficulty curve can be unforgiving. Decent gear can make more of a difference than another 100 HP or so, especially if you can protect against some of the elements/effects of the enemy attacks. SaGa Frontier Remastered (Reviewed on Nintendo Switch) Excellent.
