Goddamn. Why can't Final Fantasy XI get a remastered version like this?
There is still no perfect way to play it in English.

SaGa Frontier Remastered announced for PS4 / Switch / PC / mobile, coming summer 2021, Fuse added as a playable character
- Thread starter orzkare
- Start date
The only things mentioned in the release (and thus the OP) are Fuse's mission and an extra piece for Asellus's scenario. IIRC there were some other smaller pieces unrelated to those that were cut, though they might actually be related since there were a few maps cut and some other things. Hoping it's less buggy too, but in the age of patches that shouldn't be an issue.
The MMO? I thought they where working on a mobile remake of it.
To be fair, there are a million ways to play those games. Every single one you mentioned (FF1-6, Tactics, CT) is playable on the mobile device you're using, as well as Sony hardware released prior to the PS4. Some of these other games were still trapped on their original hardware. I'm fine with waiting for the heavy hitters to get released again
trigger is already on steam but tactics is really weird because it already has an HD version with a touch interface on mobile and yet it wasn't ported to switch alongside all the other PS1 final fantasies
(@ mods please do not misconstrue this as port begging, it is simply an observation based on prior actions by the company)

Unreal. It is a game that had real problems but I loved it because it attempted things I've never seen games try before. Seeing a random NPC in one character's story be a major party member in anothers was mind blowing.
The variety of scenarios puts Octopath Traveler to shame. The worlds you visited were so inspired. The soundtrack was phenomenal. Yes, the gameplay was obtuse and there was a definite lack of direction but it was bold in a way games rarely are and it forever carved a place in my memories, warts and all.

Yeah, I'm going to temper my expectations for now, it could end up just being the BioLab. Then again, the English trailer does suggest multiple new events and cutscenes, so there could be more. We'll just have to wait and see. If we're six months out there's plenty of time to show more.
There's plenty of other places they could add to, though. Furdo's Workshop in the Magic Kingdom is another place that's just an empty dungeon with a dialogue-less boss fight in the original (which also seemed like it might have been Asellus content). There was also the alternate escape for Asellus and White Rose from Facintinaru (complete with naked sprites for both, still on the original disc, lol). There's also at least two cut characters on disc, though they may have been test data (one of them is a mech type that only exists as a T260G transformation, whereas all the other mech forms have a corresponding recruit somewhere in the game).
Plenty of things to do with the characters too. Would be nice to see Red recruitable in someone else's story. Blue too, though getting Rouge is basically the same thing. Asellus only shows up in Red and Emelia's stories, and only Emelia actually gets to keep her.
there's a collection of the original gameboy titles coming out soon, so you can start there.
but on the other hand, you can skip to the snes era titles with Romancing SaGa 2 and Romancing SaGa 3, available on basically everything except maybe Xbox?
but on the other other hand, you can jump into the latest game in the franchise with SaGa Scarlet Grace, also available on everything except maybe Xbox.
but on the other other other hand, you can jump into SaGa Re;Universe for your smartphone.
maybe if xenogears had a highly successful mobile gacha game with little overhead it could get a port too, but since she's a flop i don't see it happening. (it's fine, takahashi has been remaking the same game his entire career soooooo)
honestly most of the regions feel very empty and could all use some expanding on, just like, in general, but i don't see that happening.
Oh my god!! This is one remaster I NEVER saw coming but always wanted. Holy shit I'm so ready to experience this game again. Understanding and breaking the systems was half the fun. Getting a new character too? I'm in.
Cool to see something like this. Glad we're getting these re-releases and remasters from Square lately. This made me remember the upcoming collection of Game Boy titles.
Yuuup. Most of this is stuff that was cut for time to release and it's maddening how much was not done. You can even see in-game how much should have been there, some areas being barren like you mentioned, and others looking like they were supposed to have more and just don't. It's like they got too ambitious and had to cut some things down.
And I'm in the camp that was looking forward to SF2, but it being so linear and having characters I didn't like made me end up not caring for it. It's certainly nice to look at and it's got a rather "solid" feel as a JRPG, but it doesn't really feel like a SaGa game, to me, considering even in just the US I'd already played through the 3 GB games and Frontier. SF2 not being as open ended felt like a step back, even compared to how "traditional JRPG" SaGa 3 on the Game Boy was (but boy do I love that game and am heavily looking forward to the collection coming out soon).
they noted rs1 is skipped as they dont know what version to release. Options considered were OG RS, OG Minstrel Song, OG RS with Minstrel Song content, etc. that one may take a while to be ported
So glad it's being localized.
Hopefully this means 2 is on the way as well. Not really up that far on the series, but isn't 2 generally considered the better game?
FFV/FFVI mobile will forever be mysteries since the original sprite artist did the new versions.
I mean there are waiting for MS to offer them money to port and put the game on gamepass. It's just my speculation.
Square seems to be dropping Xbox entirely for new releases. Neo TWEWY is also not coming to the platform.
I will be buying both of these games on Switch, so it doesn't bother me too much.
I never imagined one of my favorite JRPGs of all time would get a remaster. Undoubtedly Day 1 for this.
Apparently, all of the SaGa games are standalone so I assume you can jump into this as a beginner.
Sweet! Forget FF7R, the real dream PS1 remake has finally arrived!
I have been wanting a port/remake/anything for this game for so long that I have no idea what to say now that it actually exists. This is the best news. I hope that a lot of the missing content is added in. Asellus's scenario really needs it. Maybe Lute's too. A few more characters would be nice as well. And some weird mechanical problems could get fixed. They need to keep the infinite money cheats though.
I better prepare a "Newbie's Guide to SaGa Frontier." People are going to need that.

RS3 is on sale currently for over 50% off on switch in NA. Might still be on sale on other platforms since it seemed to be a concurrent price drop. Switch sale lasts through the weekend.
Er, maybe, for one of the seven (now eight) routes. But that is actually a cool touch, in context. Not a route I'd suggest for beginners though.
Really? I loved the art style of the PS2 Romancing Saga. It's one of my favorite games!
Woaahhhhh. I recently played Asellus and really enjoyed it, though it was pretty tough at times and I think I had to replay some of it.
I'm a little taken aback that they would touch this game. Hopefully more ps1 titles are on the way. They really need to do XG.

Still holding out hope for RS1, but I'll certainly take Frontier being finished in a definitive edition.
That's been in development hell since 2015, with huge spans of silence about it between occasional small sparks of life from Nexon's investor reports. Outlook's not looking too good for it.
Not sure what they mean by it not being playable in English, though.

There are several unused renders in the game, so there's a slight chance we might see some new rooms, here's the list https://tcrf.net/SaGa_Frontier/Unused_Areas
I was going to say, cool news. Be nice if classic FF titles got this sort of treatment.
You absolutely should try Scarlet Grace. By far one of the best Saga games. It doesn't have a big budget but it really is a great game. Saga games honestly aren't that difficult and Saga Frontier was the hardest due to just not being super balanced. I assume that it will be better balanced in the remaster here.
If you have trouble with difficulty in Saga games it's usually due to just not knowing enough skills. Just need to grind flash some more.
Oh shit. Day zero.
Hopefully they will do that after this one.
