The combat system is hard to grasp at first because it works on a hidden variable also called the Battle Rank. SaGa Frontier Remastered offers a strong narrative but the progression system feels flawed. Fuse is an interesting character to experience and his addition clears some of the plot holes that were in the original game. What happens instead is that we can see what happens when Fuse joins the other playable characters in their story. However, he is quite different from others in the sense that there is no proper story for Fuse.
The new addition in the remaster comes in the shape of Fuse, the 8th playable character. Each of them can take under 10 hours, or quicker depending on how well you can get used to the battle system. There are seven playable characters in the game with their own stories. While not every story is good, there is quite a lot of depth to the characters and even emotional moments that help give the game a unique touch. They have their own motivation and goals in the story.
Every character has their own unique story arc but it doesn’t mean that they will get to meet and interact together. It relies on a confusing battle system that encourages grinding but at the cost of increased difficulty. The difference is that this is not a traditional JRPG with a level up and experience system. If you have played Octopath Traveler, the multiple playable characters with their own story arcs approach will feel familiar here. For fans of the game, this is like a dream come true where they can experience the original vision while for others, this is essentially the director’s cut equivalent of SaGa Frontier Remastered. New additions include an 8th playable character, Fuse, as well as some new story content and modifications to improve the flow of the story. To bring this remaster to life, the original creator, Akitoshi Kawazu, himself has worked on it. What makes SaGa Frontier Remastered unique is how Square Enix has not only taken the time to remaster the game, making sure the classic aesthetics of the game are well-preserved, but also added content planned for the original game but didn’t make the cut.
