I recommend this game, but honestly it's because I played this back in the Playstation 1 days. There's a lot of good quality of life updates and additional content compared to the original, but anyone new to this game or the SaGa series in general will probably find it very rough and difficult.

I have beat the game now with all of the characters and can say I would recommend this game. Do understand what you are getting. You are getting seven different characters, each with different stories and then an extra character who will go and recap the character's stories when you beat the game with a character. The quality of the different characters' stores varies greatly. Some characters have a branching and interesting story while a couple of characters literally can face their final boss after talking to two characters. I recommend using Emilia to start with, as she has a developed storyline, because if you use a character like Lute or Blue you may be disappointed by the lack of story or the lack of an ending and think that all characters are like this. Even for the more developed characters you are not getting lots of dialog, the stories are in many cases left vague and character motivations can be hard to determine. This game is a remaster of a game from the late 90's. I appreciate what they have added. You can run from enemies now and there is cut content that has been added, as well as Fuse as a playable character, but he serves mainly to recap a character's story when you have completed the game. This is nice as it adds and explains things that were left vague in the characters' stories when you first play them. In the 90's I beat the game with Blue and then quit, as I was not satisfied with the ending. Here Fuse gives Blue a proper ending. The remaster also adds a new game plus, and lets you pick what carries over, which is a great feature. Saga Frontier is a difficult game. There are many hidden or poorly explained systems, which is not a bad thing, but there are bosses that require you to use these systems to beat them. They are not optional bosses either, so you may need a guide for this game. I try not to use guides, but for Riki I had to, to beat a boss that required a combo system that I had not used (or needed to) the entire game. The game does feel like it experiments and tries many things and sometimes it succeeds and sometimes it fails. The game does not have levels, but instead you gain attributes for humans and mystics, based on what actions they take during battle. Robots gain strength based on equipment they use and monsters eat other monster's meat to transform. It is much like the saga games on the Gameboy (released as Final Fantasy Legends over in the West) Graphics look nice, but the option to use the original character sprites would be nice. The music is also great, I have Time Lord's Domain on my tunes that I listen to in my car. If you can handle the difficulty and sometimes experimental nature of this game and the game's vagueness, then I highly recommend it.

This game is a true classic, one of the coolest RPGs of its time and it still holds up today.

Alright, sometimes we have to be honest about the things we love. Saga Frontier is not the BEST Playstation RPG. Parts of it I would consider entirely inscrutable without a walkthrough or guide of some sort. The difficulty is all over the place where you can easily wander into a zone where you'll just get destroyed by monsters, or worse you'll be FORCED into a place where you're more or less incapable of winning fights. The magic system is simultaneously simplistic yet confusing... Saga Frontier lacks a lot of the polish that its contemporaries has. I hesitate to recommend this one to someone who isn't already familiar with it or who doesn't have an innate love for this era of RPGs... And yet it's one of my absolute favorites. I played the hell out of this game in high school, and after playing through one of the stories in full this remaster is absolutely exactly what it needs to be. The world it takes place in is at once under-explained yet totally enthralling with a wonderful ly diverse cast of characters both minor and major, and while the different campaigns have a fair bit of overlap at times with what you have to do (How many times are you willing to go through the gauntlet of unlocking Arcane Magic? I hope it's a lot!), each campaign still has its own unique story, gameplay features, and areas and the way they overlap with each other narratively just hits the good parts of my brain throughout. If you didn't play this game when it came out or are not an established fan of late 90's RPGs, I have a hard time giving Saga Frontier a solid recommend... But if you did or are, I would highly encourage you to pick up one of my personal favorite mediocre-but-beloved games here. I've tried a few times over the years to get into other Saga games and none of them ever really clicked with me, but this one does it.

I've played the original SaGa Frontier on PlayStation a heckuva a lot. I really like it, but I'll readily admit it isn't for everyone. It's nonlinear structure and flexible character customization make it feel extremely different from other JRPGs. Every system in this game feels like an experiment. The monster, robot, and mystic party members all operate by their own rules for advancement. The magic system and skill system are unlike any other game (aside from other SaGa games). The sci-fi setting is extremely quirky. I love all the things that make this game unique, but it is quite difficult to get into. There are lots of rules that are not well explained and many of the game's systems just don't work that well. Nonetheless, this is an experimental and highly original game, and if you are jaded with other JRPGs, this is an interesting one. Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song is a bigger, more refined, and more complex SaGa game. So if that appeals to you, you might try that one first.
