Sept. 2025
Full disclaimer: I like the PSX version of this game. I played it in the 'weird & experimental' Squaresoft post Final Fantasy 7's success era when I was a teenager. So I cannot be completely impartial. Nevertheless I will try to judge this on it's merits as well as it's regrettable design choices. The Romancing SaGa series has always prided it's self upon forcing the player to explore and experiment. This game doesn't stray far from that philosophy. It does not hold your hand in the least about how things work under the hood (the spark list, learning abilities for Mech, what Riki will transform into, the Combo System). In the remaster it removes just enough cobwebs to make it a hair easier to understand while still being on the obtuse side of things about forcing the player to figure things out for themselves. The combat is simple enough if not a bit cryptic. You get weapon points for physical specials, you get jutsu points for magical specials. The Combo System is just a roll of the dice if the attacks you chose want to cooperate to make big numbers appear. I will purposefully not explain more than that. Part of this game that feels good is that 'oh... now I am starting to understand' moment that I wouldn't dare deny a new player. Far as changes specific to the remake? The art style is...close to the original. Seems to have been upscaled and then hand-drawn over versions of the pixel art sprites. Oh and for screens they couldn't do 16:10 display for now has character concept art on both sides to fill in that blank space. I like both styles well enough but I can see someone being annoyed they didn't allow an opt-in for the old visuals. The music is completely 1:1 which is good. There are a few new tracks done by Kenji Ito which fit in well enough with the rest of the soundtrack. Other new features are a built-in frameskip toggle for both the overworld and combat, the ability to run from (most) battles, you can skip most airship animations and (as a small mercy for Riki) the inn in Tanzer now fully restores your party instead of LP only like in PSX. Also new to the fray is Fuse. Long short of it is he was originally meant to be the eighth protagonist who ties all the other seven stories together. Instead they took the bones of that and allow you to see Fuse's contribution to their story upon completion. It also allows you to re-fight the final bosses with Fuse and a different party with different postscript resolutions. I would have preferred his original story to just have been put in instead but this is a decent enough compromise. So...would I recommend this? If you want a confusing and unconventional JRPG or if you liked the original then the answer is 'yes'. If you dislike experimental JRPG then you can safely give this a pass.

A good remaster of a PS1 classic that brings many QOL improvements and fixes a couple of the original's shortcomings by reintroducing some much-needed cut content, but falls short in elevating this game above the status of a kusoge guilty pleasure. Saga Frontier always was (and remains with this new iteration) a beautiful broken mess, one that will probably only appeal to nostalgic gamers or amateurs of obscure and cryptic video-games that want to experience the best and worse of a highly experimental era. I personally love it and maybe you'll do as well but consider this a fair warning: very much like the SaGa series as a whole, this game isn't for everyone.

This is an improvement on the original game. It has less grind(over kill in the original) and did a very good job on the PC port. If you enjoyed the original you should enjoy this. Simple game with simple stories but you might get bored with it after doing a single story line. Humans are the best. I recommend starting with a human character which catches your eye and filling your party with humans. If you finish that story(and slightly try out the other races) you might want to try it again with more challenge.

Great game and a classic, but is hard to get into for newcomers. However, the remaster adds a story section to help players navigate the world.

This was always an amazing game. Watch out for quick load on start up screen!! It will happily erase your auto save progress in the blink of an eye!
