Basically, it's one of the crown jewels of the franchise brought bang up to date… and available today. SaGa fans are no doubt frantically checking their respective storefronts to download the game, but for anyone unfamiliar with SaGa Frontier 2, read on and we'll explain everything you need to know about this epic history-spanning RPG, including what's new.




Let's start with a broad overview. SaGa Frontier 2 Remastered is an RPG that canters around two characters: Gustave, the heir of a royal family who is unable to cast Spells, and William Knights, a fledgling adventurer. You'll explore two narrative arcs featuring these characters, which progress simultaneously, and sometimes intersect.
The game features an event-based narrative structure where you can choose the order to play through different historical events. You'll experience various scenarios from different perspectives and build up a full understanding of the two separate arcs - and how they ultimately converge to form a larger, unified story.
Naturally, there's plenty of action in each tale. There's a lot of variety in how you approach fights, from one-on-one duels, fast-paced party battles and even large-scale strategic warfare. Combat is turn-based, with lots of elements to consider, from character speed to combos—it's a lot of fun. The game originally released for the OG PlayStation, launching in 1999 Japan, and 2000 in North America and Europe. This new version of the game features new additions that make it more beautiful, more content-rich and even more fun to play!
