This is a very fun and interesting game. There's charming music, pretty sprites, and absolutely zero direction if you skipped the intro cutscene. It's sort of a prototype for open world rpgs as we now see them; the game has myriad sidequests and optional content, all of which you should do because the sidequests generally have stronger monsters. The stat progression is a bit different in this one, you see. Base stats are essentially fixed with the exception of hp, tp, and mp, you get stronger by improving your mastery of your weapon, which is much easier against stronger opponents. Stronger opponents also have a greater chance to "spark" skill acquisition, which is done by striking enemies with a basic attack (though some skills have more specific requirements eg: only Seismic Strike can spark Grand Slam. Not every character can learn every tech, some are bad at learning period (muse is illiterate surely), but once a tech is mastered by using it enough any character can equip it, so don't fret too much. I don't know where else to put this, but you can recruit a snowman, a lobster, and an elephant. The first two are masters of kung fu and can learn about every tech without help, and the last one is one of the best mages in the game. It's a very fun game, with some caveats. 1. There is absolutely zero shame in looking up a guide for this game, the amount of hidden and obtuse mechanics are nigh innumerable. 2. Story is incredibly mediocre, the character intros are okay but after that its like chunks of dialogue and exposition are cut out of the game. No matter what your prior motive, every characters end goal is the same, with zero regard as to why they would even want to. 3. You can lock yourself out of some quests and even entire characters by not doing very specific things in a playthrough early on (kill bandits, don't just run from them) 7/10, but on the high side of 7. Looking forward to more in this series.

There's so much unexpected content and mechanics jammed in this little game, if I played this game when it came out it would have kept me entertained for hundreds of hours. The game plays more like Saga Frontier than it does Romancing Saga 2, and it's a weaker game than Romancing Saga 2. You'll can very easily ruin your first playthrough completely by messing up questlines by playing the game "wrong". Don't go into dungeons without having a REASON to go there or you'll miss characters, questlines, screw up your ability to level, miss dialogue and story etc. Don't walk around with 6 party members otherwise you'll miss quests and new recruits. You have to talk to every npc in every town.

I would call Romancing Saga 3 the ideal game to start with, its difficulty curve being far smaller than its older siblings, and future entries only adding deeper complexity to the formula. Far less replay value than i was hoping for, with only a few minor changes between each character, once you've seen it once there i not much more to see. My favourite moment was when my Lobster martial artist suplexed an evil car built by a mad scientist in her thir- twenties! I can now sleep soundly at night knowing that mikhael's ruling minigame isnt real and cant hurt me

Noticeably less difficult than Romancing SaGa 2, this one still pulls no punches. The story this time around is more traditional and instead of spanning several generations you play as one of eight possible main characters with the option of recruiting a party that may or may not include some of the other seven at different times, since some of those main eight characters are connected to each other in some way, such as Mikhail and Monika being siblings and Katarina being one of their retainers. The game mechanics seem to be almost identical to the previous game with some minor tweaks that are mostly improvements, such as being able to replenish your characters´ max LP by sleeping at an inn and being able as a result to avoid character perma-death much more easily. I did feel this game gave you even less guidance on what to do next than the prequel, which is saying something given how little hand-holding part 2 does, and I disliked the way you navigate the over-world map in order to be able to fast travel in comparison to the previous game. Also, I found it annoying that whenever I tried to talk to an innkeeper to dismiss one of my party members because I wanted to recruit someone else the character flat out refused to leave and I was stuck with them, yet at some other times some character would decide to leave the party because I went to a city they did not like. Seemed to make things needlessly complicated. I'm enjoying the ride so far, though at 10 hours into the game I do feel part 2 is a better game considering all aspects. Edit: I'm about to fight the final boss and I have to admit that the game grew on me and, except for a couple of minor details, I think it's just as good as RS2. My complaint about not being able to dismiss and recruit specific followers freely at some points still stands, but at least the game eventually gave an explanation as to why that happens, and by looking into an online guide to better understand how to spark techs and other details I saw that, just like RS2, many scenarios have different ways they can play out depending on how you approach them. Also, I was surprised to learn that your main character is actually not the Chosen One like you'd expect, which I thought was a nice touch. One thing I did not like at all is that I couldn't participate in the Fighting Tournament in Zweig because my MC was Monika and the guards recognize her as the sister of the Marquis Mikhai of Loanne, and turn the whole party away. It seemed unnecessary to prevent a player to do that quest-line even if it was a nice touch to add regarding how the world reacts to which character you actually have. The army battle and business mini-games were interesting but they don't matter that much and they're way too confusing to understand easily, so I didn't feel they added all that much. I also missed a couple of side-quests because the quest giver didn't bring them up, though I don't know exactly what I did to cause that quest to be unavailable to me or if it's also related to which character I chose or something. All in all, a pretty solid game and a worthy sequel to RS2, and I don't really get the comparatively negative reviews it has given that it improves upon many aspects of RS2 and the few aspects in which it takes a couple of steps backwards are minor or are mostly subjective. I wish I could play a similar HD remake of the first game, but I guess I'll go back and try the 3D remake instead to finish the trilogy. And last but not least because it needs to be said, Yama the final boss in the Phantoms Maze can go fuck himself for all eternity. I don't think I have been as frustrated with a boss battle since the NES days when almost all games were designed to break your spirit and crush your hopes and dreams.
