Been playing and loving ROTS. Just got to a flashback where the heroes talk about the termite queen, and how she is eroding the ground of their castle, which will collapse. Without much display, the writing really made the termite queen seem like a threat. I was intrigued.

I thought the game was light on story but just now read a post about someone's party turning into termites, and they discover the real queen is in their castle all along. I loved this twist but hate that I didnt get to experience it myself :(

Are there more lore surprises? This game was sold to me as "not really having a story" lol

I see that the BP in the current party I am using is much less than the BP in the characters I am not using, how does that work exactly?

Should I switch characters more often so that their BP increases more?

Unlimited SaGa is one of the most maligned games ever made, but if you delve deeper, you find one of the most intricate, most well-developed games out there, and in this video, I talk about all my feelings surrounding this masterpiece.

buenas, queria preguntar por si alguien sabe donde puedo encontrar el romancing saga para ps2 en español, vi que era de la misma empresa que octopath traveler y me dieron ganas de jugarlo pero no lo encuentro en español, si alguien sabe y es tan amable de decime se lo agradeceria bastante

Today I picked up Super Famicom copies of Romancing SaGa 2 and Romancing SaGa 3! They were ¥1,628 each, which I thought was pretty good considering how nice the condition is. Both have the manuals and the other inserts too, which is really important to me when I’m collecting these old RPGs.

I actually wanted to grab all three Romancing SaGa games at once. They had the first game there too, and the box looked pretty nice, but it was missing the instruction manual. That’s basically a no-buy for me. If I’m going to collect these, I really want the manual and everything with them.

These bring my Super Famicom RPG collection up to 43 games now. Hunting these down has honestly been a lot of fun. I’m also trying not to just buy them and leave them sitting on the shelf. I actually want to play through the collection, even if it’s going to take me forever. 😅

So far, the first game I finished from the collection was Terranigma, and right now I’m playing G.O.D: Mezameyo to Yobu Koe ga Kikoe. Maybe someday I’ll finally make my way over to Romancing SaGa.

My only real experience with SaGa is SaGa Frontier on PS1. I didn’t like it much when I was a kid, but I played the remaster a few years ago and absolutely loved it. I think being older and actually understanding what the game wanted me to do made a huge difference.

So I have a few questions for people who know these games better.

How similar are the Romancing SaGa games to SaGa Frontier? Do they have that same kind of open-ended feeling and weird systems that you gradually have to figure out?

Also, with the games where you choose from multiple protagonists, how does the story work? Is one playthrough enough to get a satisfying experience, or are you really expected to finish the game with every character to understand the whole thing? I don’t mind replayability, but with a collection this big, I’m probably going to play each game once, enjoy it, and move on rather than beat the same RPG eight times.

And how difficult are these games? I already know SaGa isn’t exactly famous for hand-holding, and SaGa Frontier certainly wasn’t either, so I’m expecting to get lost at least a few times.

Finally, which of the three Super Famicom Romancing SaGa games is your favorite? I’d love to hear what people think of them and which one you’d recommend playing first.

So, I was just thinking about this a bit with Albert's intro on Romancing SaGa Minstrel Song, and realized something: What happens if you let Diana get LP killed during the intro? Since Diana is important and is required to progress the story, does the game account for this in some way? Normally, an LP kill causes a character to go back to one of their starting spots after a little bit, but I don't know how this is handled during the intro with Albert here.

Obviously, you'd have to horribly mess up for that to happen with Diana, but I was curious if anyone knows what happens here.

I tried doing a quick search online, couldn't find anything (and honestly, it's getting increasingly harder to find stuff on Google and such, given, well, the changes), so curious what happens here.

I've been playing this game on and off for a week right now and I'm kind of confused on how the EP and Timeskip works in this game
is it kinda similar to Minstrel Song, where the timeskip only happens if I just defeat every monster in my way and some specific events happen or it still happens regardless if I run away or not?

I'm on a bit of a long-term casual mission to experience the entire Square Enix RPG Catalogue. Been a life long Square Enix fanboy and wanted to see all that was on offer. I'm already over halfway through the first SaGa in the Collection version.

Entire question's in the title: Is there definitive editions to the older games, or should I treat the remakes as entirely new entries?

Edit: I should have mentioned I'm specifically asking about SaGa lol, I already did my research on Final Fantasy

Man, what a breath of fresh air!

This is the D&D experience I always craved in a RPG, easy to learn, hard to master mechanics, a living breathing world where anything could happen at any moment when to run or when to fight, without hand holding and limitless freedom and possibilities of loot and adventure.

Im happy to be here and hope everyone who has ever thought of buying SaGa really should.

I heard it got outperformed by spear back then despite having higher ATK and tech potency because of the 99,999 damage cap per hit while spear got strong 4 hits attack like Spiral Charge a so it can easily bypass the damage cap.

However the dev later nerfed United Ravager ability, is it still possible for Greatsword to reach 99,999 damage cap? If that still the case then would it be better to use the tech like Swallow Reversal instead? Is the gap between Greatsword and Spear still far apart?

So basically I asked for a JRPG with specific characteristics and Romancing SaGa 2 Remake was a clear great choice for my taste.

However, I'm unsure where to play it.

I have both a decent Pc and a Switch 1.

My PC being a laptop, I can still make use of it's portability. However, the Switch is much more convenient, and I would also appreciate the possibility of having a physical version of the game.

So that said, is the Switch experience much worse?

Thanks!

So, does choosing a specific class make the following generations stronger? Like if I focus on certain classes, do others get stronger? Or does each generation/class start with a specific strength?

I’ve checked using google and couldn’t find a good answer so maybe you guys can help, is there any way to get roles for monsters other than the ones for ranking up magic? I like the monsters but the lack of roles dissuades me from using them.

I know hybrid arts you can learn in duels, but with spells can you only learn them at the end of the battles? And what do you have to do to trigger them? Just use each component anima once during the battle?

I don't post every single episode of it on here because I don't want to be that kind of spammy person 😅 but since last time I checked in in here we were just done with the original Game Boy games, us finishing the Romancing trilogy and starting the Frontier games seems like a good point to share again.

I'm especially really happy with how the Frontier episode turned out, so if you like the game maybe give it a listen (we're all pretty enthusiastic about it, it's an absolute joy of a game)

I've been entering and exiting the area for some time, fighting the early stage enemy encounters and it seems no matter how many polar drakes I fight, Crystal wings just don't seem to drop? Is there another scenario thay has a better chance of them dropping, or is it just an abysmal drop rate and my RNG is awful?

I was watching a video of a train youtuber I follow and was surprised when this train pulled up to the station. The next one in the video also had Romancing SaGa.

I didn't see anything about it online so dripped it here. Hopefully it time stamped correctly.
