The SaGa series is considered a beloved classic franchise amongst many RPG circles. They’ve had mechanics that have been directly inspired by and have led on to inspire other popular RPG franchises. Romancing SaGa -Minstrel Song- Remastered is a remaster of the 2005 game of the same name, which in turn was a remake of the original game that came out in 1992. With such an old installment being given new life in this modern age, is there something modern players can enjoy in this blast from the past?
As someone who has never played a SaGa game in their entire life, I can’t offer the perspective of a veteran who already has the mechanics of these games firmly rooted in their muscle memory. Instead, I can only provide the perspective of someone dipping their toes into this franchise for the first time and comment on whether or not similar people in my position might be able to enjoy…
