This is so awesome the protagonist is probably Fuse. I think there are bits of code in the game that were still left in the game. Maybe they will even flesh out the Blue/Rouge ending

I still enjoyed them all to buy them on all platforms so I'm part of the problem, I love those games dearly.They are not connected. SaGa Frontier is an interesting game to remaster, it wasn't particularly well loved when compared to Square's output during the PS1 era. The inclusion of new content, including the cut protagonist is definitely interesting but I'm curious how "HD" the 2D elements of the game are and whether or not they ran the backgrounds through an AI upscaler. They haven't in the past with the Final Fantasy 7, 8, and 9 remasters.
First of all, this is awesome.
Secondly, it's weird that these remasters of SaGa games exist at all. We're getting the SaGa collection in a few weeks, which is the first three GameBoy games. Romancing SaGa 2 and 3 are out for modern consoles as well. This is coming, as I'm sure SaGa Frontier 2 is (seriously, why would they go to all the trouble of making this if the sequel wasn't already in the works using the same tools?). That just leaves two PS2 games (the first Romancing SaGa remake, and Unlimited SaGa, both which had a US release) and some internet / mobile titles and the entire franchise is playable on modern stuff.
Meanwhile, the Final Fantasy series is more popular than ever. If they made a Final Fantasy V or VI remake using this type of style, it would be amazing. Even though it could be an obviously budget title, as long as they put care and love into re-crafting these games - like it looks like they did here - it would be a triumph. Seems pretty odd that they're just rolling with the hugely criticized "mobile" games as their answer to people wanting to play these classics on modern hardware.
I wasted a weekend rental on this game from a video store and still feel gypped. Of all the things hey could've remastered.
I'm willing to try this out for the cut content.
As long as it's not digital only.
Hell yeah. I mean As a director he is responsible for Chrono Trigger, FF6 and FF7, 3 of the best games in the genre. And as a producer, he's responsible for the FF series from 2000 onwards, where it has been incredibly financially successful - meaning he is doing a good job as a producer.Kitase is a fucking fraud.
Looks like they chucked one of those emulator filters on it and called it a day.

But what a fraud! Right guys?

3 games where a large part of the creative work was done by other people. And 20 years of nearly continious decline of quality and stagnation and giving the most resources to his little group of friends. With the exception of one project that he keeps his hands out (Yoshi'P's FF XIV)
Yeah, fantastic. Truly on par with Sakaguchi who created FF, constantly improved and promoted new people during his reign and supported projects to no end (Leading to Xenogears and subsequently all of what came after, Parasite Eve, FF: Tactics+(and subsequently the mindset that led to the current XIV team), Kitase! himself and so on and so on .
Kitase has good parts and done good things (FFVI is my favourite JRPG of all time). How he handled Square's creative direction over the past 20 comes in no way, no way close to the Square of the 90's and if anything is a vast disappointment.
Were you dropped on the head as an infant? Your grammar certainly shows it, but your logic is far worse. The last game Sakaguchi directed was FF5, after that he was a producer. In case you don't know what that means, a director deals with the creative decisions, while a producer deals with the business aspect. So unless your implying FF1-5 > FF6-10 plus CT, you're wrong. Kitase was responsible for Square best creative decisions, in the past two decades.
No, I actually know what I'm talking about, because I've done my research regarding the development of those games. (Also insulting grammar on the internet, nice one!)
Sakaguchi contributed vastly on the creative side even after FF5 with advice, high level design, providing ideas, providing pitches (with one resulting in Parasite Eve), promoting, mentoring and supporting designers (FF: Tactics was literary Sakaguchi persuading Matsuno from Quest to join Square and surrounding him with his own personal dream team. Matsuno and his legacy wouldn't be at Square without Sakaguchi) and lobbying for rejected game ideas (Xenogears and multiple others.)
As far as Playstation FF's go he was involved in VII (especially pre-production) and very closely in IX. Both from a business and creative perspective Conversely, FFVIII is probably the Square title he was least involved in Pre-PS2.
All of this is fact. Hell even on Kingdom Hearts, Sakaguchi was the one suggesting a more involved story (With the others wanting to keep it dead simple). Even if Nomura ran away into crazyland with that post-KH1.
P.S. Sakaguchi created the core concept of Chrono Trigger and was in charge of the game's design. Sakaguchi was also the one lobbying for Trigger to become a larger series. One of the battles he sadly lost against the executive brass and in turn got booted off Cross.
You're further supporting he had little involvement compared to Kitase as far a creative direction. Pitching ideas =/= creative control, and promoting is part of the business aspect. But hell you know what you're talking about, let see those sources claiming he had more creative control over Kitase.
Cherry-picking words (not even any context. Just the words) and ignoring the examples. (And even completely ignoring the last bit)
Sorry, I only engage in good faith.
Since I find a lot of Saga fans gathered here...
How many virgins do I have to sacrifice to make the Steam Release of Romancing Saga 2 to work consistently with a controller?
I've tried 3rd party, PS4 and recently bought XB1 controllers. I've played with the controller settings. I've gone in and out of full screen. I've tested the controllers them selfs on other games (including Romancing Saga 3) to make sure it's not their fault. Some times they work. Most of the times they don't.
What am I doing wrong.
Already did. Nothing changed!Try to start the game in Steam's big picture mod.
I wonder why the saga series and mana series getting so much love from square these days. Are these games really more popular than chrono trigger? xenogears? Parasite eve?
SaGa Frontier Remastered will be available on the Nintendo Switch™ system, the PlayStation®4 system, PC (STEAM®) and iOS and Android mobile devices on April 15. This game will include upgraded graphics optimized for modern platforms to bring the game’s characters to life like never before
pleasant surprise to have it come in April, honestly that's probably a better time for it to release too with the onslaught of games we're going to see starting in MayLooks like it's been pushed up from Summer to April 15th. It was shown again during Nintendo Direct

I have fond memories of Saga Frontier 1 when I was a kid so I'll likely pick it up at launch though I'm not sure if I'll get it on Switch or PS5 yet (probably Switch though for the portability unless reviews say it struggles but this seems like a game that should run without issues)
Well, it could just be a Sony deal regarding Xbox ports since the previous Saga games released on Xbox were originally on Nintendo. Or maybe the saga ports didn’t sell that well on Xbox.Again no Xbox? Square either has a shady deal with Sony about Xbox ports or Sony really is buying square Enix at least heavily investing.
Saga 2 wasn't too good, nor was Saga Unlimited from what I recall.Is this game any good, saw it on the PS5 store for Sale (one of the SaGa games) but never got into the series?
Hey now, some of us really like SaGa Frontier 2. Those 2D watercolor backgrounds just beg for an HD remaster.Saga 2 wasn't too good, nor was Saga Unlimited from what I recall.
