The way the game's chapters are all separate stories is incredibly cool, i gotta play the remake some day.
young man, you are not allowed to leave this table until you finish your unfinished freeform experimental jrpg and you like it
random fact: asellus was the first queer video game character i ever encountered, so that's cool

No soy furro pero...
i think more games should just be short stories
people who shit on this game are cowards
One world seen in different perspectives by 7 main characters. With each character you will be visiting same places or unique ones. Every plot is in different style. Battles are savage but satisfaction is there. Every place you visit is in completely different style with new ideas being realized before your eyes. It is not perfect but for me it is one of the best games I have played.
I haven’t completed all story lines and can’t wait to play it re-mastered on switch

this game is rude as hell but I love it anyway
My favorite SaGa game
They announced the same day I started playing the original, so I instantly abandoned original playthrough
Edit: I did beat the original PS1 game using saves from the internet

シリーズ作品の中ではもっとも遊び倒したサガ。音楽も大好き。連携が決まった時の爽快感は最高。
My review of the remaster.
aunque me faltan un par de historias, es unos de jrpgs con las batallas por turnos mas dinamicas que jugue de psx
An incredibly well-rounded RPG from the peak time for RPGs. Overshadowed by more name brand games like Final Fantasy, this game holds its own and is a must for any RPG fan.
Expanding on the selectable protagonists of past SaGas, and reminiscent of Live A Live, SaGa Frontier's 'Free Scenario System' effectively splits the playable cast into seven individual mini-journeys, retaining the non-linear elements while also revisiting a few concepts from The Final Fantasy Legend trilogy. Despite the novel format, the result is a mixed bag: On one hand, it enabled a lot more creative liberties, boasting all sorts of ideas without ever really sacrificing tone or integrity. On the other hand, these stories are largely thin and self-contained, only loosely related to each other by their world and supporting cast. Nevertheless, the format yields a fair few creative displays, particularly the comedic Super Sentai-tinged melodrama of Red's scenario, and Blue's collection of wild and varied gameplay detours. Equally as varied if not more bizarre are Asellus' and Emelia's routes, while the rest are either dull or half-baked sketches. The weaker moments are at least somewhat redeemed by the experiments and visuals.
Unfortunately, combat suffers from the same issues as previous games: Too much emphasis on random chance determining builds without enough clarity needed to make them meaningful. Too often you're just repeating attacks in battle in hopes that a new skill or upgrade activates. The brutal difficulty also detracts from the experience. Level scaling systems can work in JRPGs - especially within a non-linear format, but here it seems more annoying than challenging. The major slip-ups prevent this monolith from standing above the sea of Squaresoft releases.

Extremely unfinished, but what's there is... fascinating. I really wish someone would make a modern game that explores the multi-scenario concept in a deep way like this game and Live-A-Live did; I haven't played Octopath Traveler, but that's mostly because it seems like a step back compared to these games. :/
Blue's ending is one of the most hilarious things in any game ever, both ironically and unironically.
Asellus's scenario has yuri!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
