    SaGa Frontier Remastered is a game for die hard fans of the original only. Veterans will appreciate the quality of life features along with the addition of Fuse, but everyone else will be put off by the sheer amount of grinding, barebones plot and characters, and tedious leveling system.

    As a standard for a remaster of a PlayStation Era game, this is a perfect 10.

    The game itself is also very exciting. Chances are, many people who try this game will be spit right out, as it is full of strange systems and unexplained mechanics. However, once a player understands the flow of the game, there is a deep set of mechanics and world building that really pushed boundaries in video game story telling.

    As an adult, I find many RPGs trite, uninspired, and too simple in their mechanics. Sage Frontier is a game that can really grow with your own understanding of it. There is tons to discover, and the use of 8 protagonists truly lets the player explore the world through 8 different sets of eyes. Mysterious regions in one playthrough are critical set pieces of another. The personality of each region is allowed to speak with its own voice through the music, visuals, and the setting.

    This is a great remaster for one of the more obscure JRPGs from the PS1 era. It has the same new, slightly polished style that Square-EnixThis is a great remaster for one of the more obscure JRPGs from the PS1 era. It has the same new, slightly polished style that Square-Enix has been using for their SaGa remasters which only really matters if you're looking for perfect nostalgia. Otherwise it captures the feel of the game well and the added content and addition of Fuse is great to have. Asellus' storyline is now complete as originally intended! Likely the best SaGa game in the series. Well done. Full Review »
