- Story Our tale starts with two protagonists: Gustave, heir to an esteemed royal line, and Wil, a young man who makes his way in the world performing excavation work. Though born in the same era, their circumstances could not be more different, and as Gustave is faced with strife and conflict between nations, Wil finds himself confronting a world-threatening calamity that lurks in the shadows. Their stories gradually coalesce to form a single history. ------------------------------ The game's "History Choice" system gives players the freedom to choose which events to play, and in doing so has them assume the roles of various characters and experience the world's history in fragments. In addition to the glimmer and combo mechanics that the SaGa series is known for, this title also features one-on-one duels. Players will find themselves confronted with battles both strategic and highly compelling. ------------------------------New FeaturesFor this remaster, the game's impressionist watercolor graphics have been upgraded to a higher resolution, giving them a greater sense of warmth and delicacy.

Runs well on modern hardware.

This was my childhood JRPG. Probably have 800+ hours on it in my lifetime between the PS1 release, emulator, and now the remaster. This game was largely made for fans of this game and a lot of the Remastered features will only be apparent to them including systems, balancing, and even additional lore (which comes with new music!). On top of this, these features are optional and people can play the game the way it was originally made. I personally think that the remastered features is the definitive way to play. For those looking into an entry to the SaGa franchise, this is the easiest one to get into due to it's much more linear plot, but it still has one of the most insane endgame final dungeons and you still need to refer to a GameFaq. Enjoy!
Use Nvidia driver 580 for now. 595 crashed on me 5x. Other than that. This is the definitive way to experience Saga 2. Music, graphics, game play all hold up well. It includes fast forward buttons for story and combat. You can toggle them with ease. If you decide to 100% this. You will NEED a guide! Otherwise just look up how to obtain all diggers before playing. The diggers are great for gathering weapons, armor, accessories every 10 minutes. Once you are well fortified with unbreakable gear. You can set it to 90 mins for the better drops. Certain characters are fast to unlock skills. Others need a specific level amounts. Gustaf for example needs 44 Fire/46 Tone. That gives the best spell in the game. But if you pick Cordellia for a final spear ability. It could be as low as level 9 spear! 1-2 minutes of grinding! Parameter inheritance stacks! Put level 20 into one character, add that on top of your current. The game is a range of random skill, spell sparks. New game plus is recommended for picking up everything on your second play through. If you dare to face the final boss on it's super form (optional). Be prepared for pain. Most of the game is moderate to easy difficulty.
