Quicksaving instead of hard-saving is sometimes necessary. For example, that earlier thing I mentioned about having to start over? Sometimes you’ll end up in an area you can’t leave after a flag. Sometimes the system doesn’t operate in a friendly way. Sometimes it’s a simple matter of returning to a specific character to initiate the next “mission,” but there’s no railroading whatsoever. The side quests are wide open for anyone, you can visit all the major locations even if they aren’t relevant to you and you even have to find the flags for main story events on your own. Third, there’s no linear path for anything. It’s neat, and gives more life to the weird, sci-fi/fantasy hybrid world. You can run into other protagonists and even recruit them in your party, even if their story is totally different. Second, while the stories are distinct, all these characters inhabit the same world at the same time. Right at the start you get to choose a protagonist, and each story is distinct. The first one is the most outwardly appealing: SaGa Frontier isn’t just one story, it’s several. SaGa Frontier’s soul lies in its “Free Scenario System.” There are, I believe, three major pillars to that system. And while this game is definitely rough around the edges (even for SaGa), it makes up for those pain points with its ambitious structure, strange world and unique progression. I haven’t played the original SaGa Frontier, but it’s obvious what’s new here. Square Enix, only a few months after releasing a compilation of the original SaGa trilogy, has dropped another classic revisit, this time one from the PSOne era that has received a significant facelift. SaGa Frontier Remastered is kicking my ass in a way few videogames do, and I’m all the way here for it. Turns out the bad ending on that route required more work than the good one! Then, a friend told me I got the bad ending. At the end the boss must’ve had 100,000 HP, and I barely won. At one point I started my route over because I literally couldn’t fight the enemies and foolishly saved in that area. I lost count of how many times a monster one shot people in my team. Making my way through SaGa Frontier Remastered was an ordeal.
