    SaGa Frontier 2 Remastered is a dramatically improved iteration in almost all aspects. The only area where it disappoints is the sloppily applied AI filtering effect for the once-beautiful watercolour backgrounds. The wealth of new features, restored story content, and refined gameplay has finally made this classic PlayStation RPG all that it can be and more. The medieval German flavour and political intrigue with fantasy elements will make this a hit with fans of Game of Thrones, and gamers that felt disappointed by it when it came out will have renewed appreciation thanks to the gameplay enhancements.

    SaGa Frontier 2 Remastered is another feather in the cap for Square Enix’s efforts to preserve its massive catalog of RPGs in that delightful era of the PlayStation 1. And for a game so unique as this, it’s hard to imagine the undertaking of a complete remake could preserve the original’s imaginative spark. Instead, SaGa Frontier 2 Remastered serves as the ideal update to a game that shouldn’t be relegated to a time capsule, trapped on older hardware where a fresh audience has less of a chance to fall in love.

    Anchored in its beautiful visual style and the incredible story it sets out to tell, SaGa Frontier 2 Remastered delivers the best version of Akitoshi Kawazu's magnum opus. With several adjustments to its gameplay and technical aspects, the game does exactly what one would expect from a remaster, finally allowing all the qualities of the original title to shine as they always deserved.

    The battles may feel slow at times, and the leveling system can take some time to learn. However, SaGa Frontier 2 manages to reward you no matter your skill level. This is a gem that I hope any RPG fan will check out, as it truly is worth your time. The world of SaGa is ever-expanding, and I’m just glad to have yet another entry available on modern platforms.

    SaGa Frontier 2 Remastered is an above-average remaster and a solid JRPG for both newcomers and fans of the series to dig into.

    I had a lovely time revisiting SaGa Frontier 2 Remastered as it's one of the most memorable RPGs from when I was a cub. At the same time, I forgot just how frustrating of a game it can be so please keep that in mind before giving it a go.

    SaGa Frontier 2 was ahead of its time. Though not everyone will feel the love with this remaster considering its notorious difficulty, SaGa Frontier 2 maintains a special place in the genre for its unique combat, storytelling, and incredible art style. It's just a shame it can be such a brutally difficult game.

    Rewarding for fans but not very accessible for new players, SaGa Frontier 2 Remastered presents an interesting set of ideas, but its uneven execution prevents it from reaching its full potential.
