Some version of Romancing SaGa 1, SaGa Frontier 2, and the DS remakes of the first two “Legend” games would be awesome to have on Switch! On the flip side, several existing entries remain missing from the Switch library that could eventually make their way to the platform in the future.
#SAGA FRONTIER REMASTERED SWITCH REVIEW SERIES#
While the most recent entries in the decades-old series have focused more on the mobile market, perhaps the increased exposure and relevance spurred on by these re-releases and remasters means that we may yet see another release developed with consoles in mind (or, at the very least, brought to consoles). This string of consistent SaGa announcements and releases certainly points to there being even more games coming to the platform, both old and new. But that’s the point – this version will include new and previously axed content that should speak to both veterans and newcomers alike. For others that have perhaps jumped on the bandwagon recently thanks to the two Romancing SaGa games, Scarlet Grace, and the upcoming Collection of SaGa release, this is an amazing opportunity to experience the franchise at one of its finest moments despite the aforementioned issues with the original game. What could possibly go wrong? A mixed reception at launch and underwhelming sales in the West, that’s what! Although for many moons I have longed for a re-release of the game I hold so near and dear, despite its flaws, I would have never expected this game to receive any attention after laying low for over 20 years – even with the SaGa franchise (thanks to the recent re-releases) slowly gaining momentum more recently.īut, you know what they say, “never say never.” If that doesn’t end up being the understatement of the year, I don’t know what will.įirst, obviously, this is a huge win for fans of the series seeing as SaGa Frontier is one of the most beloved entries in the franchise as a whole.
It is arguably an incomplete game from an obscure, relatively unapproachable Square Enix franchise, that was released in the shadow of that tiny release known as Final Fantasy VII. However, I’ve also attempted to be even-handed when it comes to the general shortcomings of the series, as well as those present specifically within SaGa Frontier. In the past, I’ve been quite vocal about my love for both SaGa Frontier and the SaGa franchise as a whole.
