Yesterday amidst the hustle and bustle of the Nintendo Direct, a delightful morsel of news may have slipped past you: Square Enix has unveiled and will be releasing SaGa Frontier 2 Remastered for both PS5 and PS4.
It’s priced at $29.99 / £24.99.
For quite a while, devoted fans of Japanese role-playing games might recognize the initial game that debuted on PlayStation 1 as far back as 1999. Its western release in 2000 meant it didn’t garner as much attention as it could have, perhaps due to the arrival of the PS2 in the same year.
The reviews for SaGa Frontier 2 were generally good but not amazing, and being compared to games like Final Fantasy 7 and 8 often worked against it. However, many people think that this game is undervalued and a hidden gem. With the remastered version offering new features, it could be worth checking out.
Here’s a quick summary of those enhancements, as per the press release:
- Fully Enhanced High-Definition Visuals – The game’s signature warm watercolor-style graphics and are more defined and vibrant, and original character sprites are upscaled for modern resolutions. New sprites have been prepared for characters who did not have unique sprites in the original game.
- Revamped User Interface – History Choice, chronology, a revamped screen layout and a multitude of other gameplay systems have been reconstructed to facilitate more intuitive and comfortable gameplay.
- Brand-New Story Content – Under the supervision of SaGa franchise general director Akitoshi Kawazu, Benny Matsuyama introduces new story events that provide additional insight into the events of SaGa Frontier 2.
- New Gameplay Features – Added elements like Parameter Inheritance, postgame content and New Game+ make for an enhanced and expanded gameplay experience.
- New Minigame for Western Fans – The excavation minigame, created for the Japan-exclusive PocketStation peripheral for the PlayStation, is playable in the west for the first time as “Dig! Dig! Digger” in SaGa Frontier 2 Remastered.
