I loved this game back in the day. Incredible music, art, and story. The gameplay was a little rough though. Probably my favorite 7/10 game for the PS1.

This looks awesome

Everything is an xbox. Series owners stay winning.

Should be great as long as they don't fuck up the artstyle nor cheap out on it's production.

Why release a game on a console that's redundant?

 

[ArtHands]

Now Switch and Steam will have almost all of the SaGa games except Unlimited SaGa.

Update: I bought it. Hopefully the final boss doesn't punish you for grinding this time around lol. I locked myself out of beating the game back in the day.

 

[Ebrietas]

What happened? I thought SE was now committed to Xbox??? How much did Sony pay them for this?!

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Loved this game, those beautiful watercolors. Having said that, where the fuck are my Vagrant Story, Parasite Eve, FF Tactics and Xenogears remasters Square?

 

[Labadal]

Cool to see new content, just like the first game.

 

[Gp1]

This game was gorgeous even on the PSX with .gif resolution.

It will be a awesome in 4k on a big screen.

 

[daxgame]

Yeah what could Nintendo still show interesting for Switch at this point? I ain't gonna buy anything else on Switch if MP4 is on Switch.


FUCK
Guess I have to bite unless it gets annunced quickly on Switch 2

Steam page for the PC bros:

Looks cool but I dunno, might just play this on the PSX + CRT unless they really improve on a lot of stuff.

 

[Arsic]

I remember liking this a lot growing up.

New content is the main selling point for me.

I respect people beating these games without a guide whatsoever. They don't make much sense and intentionally so. Though Frontier 2 was probably the most linear title they did. But the battle mechanics and economy are quite crazy.

Insane to see something like this.

I don't have a PC and I can't play Avowed anywhere else other than my XSX right now. Not even your beloved PS5. How is that redundant to a lot of gamers?

 

[Evil Calvin]

$30 on IOS.....lol........no

 

[Pallas]

Great game, still like 1 better but the music is better imo in this game.

Who's going to tell this clown that I don't even have a PS5 nor do I like Sony?

 

[Madonis]

I'm going to buy this, sooner or later, but for now it's going on my wishlist.

 

[Northeastmonk]

Bought on Steam. My ps1 copy is long gone.

Update: I bought it. Hopefully the final boss doesn't punish you for grinding this time around lol. I locked myself out of beating the game back in the day.

Did you find out if they fixed that for this version?

I hated that boss. Even with killing a bunch of his mini bosses I couldn't kill him. I did 2 million extra damage over his highest possible HP max and he still wouldn't die. Had to end up using a game shark to beat him and see the ending. I was underleveled too when I fought him.

Sorry, Fantasian end game is kicking my ass and I need to beat it before I start SF2R. I snooped around the internet and no one knows for sure yet if the Egg battle is adjusted, but given the QOL improvements, the new minigame that gives extra items, the new characters, and the new skill inheritance system, my guess is the remaster is a tad bit easier than the OG and they probably also adjusted the Egg. I'll report back if I hear otherwise.
