If that's what it takes to get Unlimited Saga on PC...

*These titles have largely been faithfully replicated in their original forms, but several changes have been made to meet evolving cultural and social norms.

From Nintendo censoring to SJW censoring. It's like the 90's never left!..........

No Wonderswan or DS remakes? Sigh, what a missed opportunity.

No Wonderswan or DS remakes? Sigh, what a missed opportunity.

I reckon they might come later if this version sells enough copies...

...as a separate package that you'll have to buy to keep these ports and remasters coming.

Well, they run perfectly on current emulators and received expert fan translations, so the loss is on Squeenix.

Out now.

I wonder if someone will make a DX mod. I have one for the gameboy version of SaGa 2 but you need a specific emulator that allow colorized tilesets.

What's your opinion on Minstrel's Song? I just started it, visited some towns and dungeons and while I like the exploration and lack of hand holding, I'm already bored with braindead combat which seems like losing a battle is impossible.

Keep playing. Tell me when you start pulling your hair out.

Tell me when you start pulling your hair out.

That would be now, after running around for half an hour checking every tunnel in Aurefont mines listening to that insane saloon music only to find out there's literally nothing there.

 

[Abu Antar]

Don't get your hopes up for new announcements.

Is the logo the only thing they're remastered? It looks the same as a pcsx2 emulated copy.

 

[LESS T_T]

In broadcast they said there are some QoL improvements and new elements.

 

[aweigh]

great news. glad i put off playing the ps2 iso, my patience was rewarded

 

[Hobo Elf]

In broadcast they said there are some QoL improvements and new elements.

And most importantly, an official EU release.

Isn't Minstrel's Song the one with totally fucked up level scaling that's based on how many encounters you get into rather than character strength?

 

[Matador]

I played this last year. Didn't completed it, but I thought it was very good.

 

[somerandomdude]

Saga Frontier 1 was great, I liked it better than any of the Final Fantasy games. There was originality everywhere you looked, the world was kind of goofy and bizarre, but in a pleasant way. Get drunk on booze, and walk through a swamp just to get destroyed by krakens on the way to grab a booze card is comical and ridiculous in a fun way.

 

[somerandomdude]

I remember in the original Saga Fronter 1, not the remake that the final boss in Riki's playthrough was sorta busted. I remember getting to him and got totally smoked, not a chance, and I had to reload a save from before I proceeded to the last part, and grinded like crazy on characters, had 3 characters with DSC + life sprinkler + Megawindblast and Tower, like 150 TP and MP, and T260 fully loaded, and Riki as Dullahan, like 900+ HP, nearly maxed, or maxed in most stats on the 3 human characters, and barely won that fight by the skin of my teeth, like the last character standing was T260 ending the fight with that rapid slice move. If I had lost, I would have given up at that point, because there wasn't really anything else I could have done to make the outcome go any differently. I was told the fight was easier if you don't grind, due to the BR scaling, but I can confirm that I had not a modicum of a possibility of winning the first time with the group I went in with, I got crushed thoroughly enough to know there was no chance. Maybe, I didn't have the right characters with the right skills, so I was going to be grinding to get the right stuff whether I wanted to or not in order to win.

So they're actually getting to Minstrel Song now? Hopefully Frontier 2 and Unlimited will be next.

You might be thinking of what is called Event Rank; an extremely simplistic explanation of which would be that winning fights is what makes time pass, dictating what quests/events become available or unavailable.
