    It's strange that this game is receiving better reviews than when it was first released in the US on Playstation in the late 90s. This was a middling at best JRPG then -- probably one of the most disappointing JRPGs on the PS back in the 90s.

    He classic SaGa Frontier experience with all the exploits you love and none of the bugs you don't. From easy glitches to hard to understand value overflows, this remake of SaGa Frontier is both loyal to the original and a breath of fresh air! The game itself, however, is still SaGa Frontier.

If you don't enjoy arcane and confusing systems that are obtuse to a high degree, then this game may well be a source of extreme frustration for you. However, if you are willing to give an older game a go, but with updated graphics and a better hand holding checklist for plot points? This is your go-to. The sole gripe with this game is most likely the localization- yes, localization, rather than translation, as some skills and items seem to have been renamed by an executive who threw random phrases at a dartboard and watched what stuck. The grammar and syntax are fine, but their word choice is positively baffling compared to the entire rest of the SaGa series and the original SaGa Frontier.… Expand

    The result of all of this is a strictly superior version of an underappreciated game, one that strips away many potential stumbling blocks for players while keeping the original experience intact. SaGa Frontier Remastered offers anyone, fan or critic of the original, plenty of reasons to revisit this sprawling, undercelebrated, unorthodox adventure.

    SaGa Frontier is one of the most unconventional RPGs you'll ever play and this Remastered version refines it without taking away from the original's charm at all. If you're up for something truly unique then you won't regret giving it a go.
