Saga frontier remastered walkthrough full#
Over two decades later, Square Enix made the bold move to publish a full HD Remaster of SaGa Frontier for Switch, PS4, and PC (Steam). As someone who played through all seven characters’ scenarios in my childhood, I can remember clearing an entire character’s story and walk away thinking, “What just happened here?” Worse yet, the translation left a lot to be desired. This meant rushed scripts, missing scenes causing confusion in characters’ stories, and a handful of bugs were all part of the English language experience. When localized for English-speaking audiences a short time later, nothing from the original Japanese version’s “rush” was fixed. Akitoshi Kawazu‘s most ambitious title to date, it was sadly rushed out the door in Japan to make way for larger, big-budget projects at the time from Square. One of the most controversial entries in the series is the one that made the jump from 16-bit (Super Famicom) to 32-bit (Sony PlayStation): SaGa Frontier. Despite having a sort of “black sheep” status in JRPG fandom for its obtuse mechanics and sometimes punishing difficulty, each SaGa title still warrants consideration on its own merits, much like the Final Fantasy series. And, as the bevy of ports, remasters, and arranged music from Square Enix suggests, I’m not alone in this sentiment.
The SaGa franchise is one near and dear to my heart.
