It’s just that newcomers will have to stick it out through the confusing process of learning all of SaGa‘s unique quirks to get to it – or search online for guides and “read the manual” there. There are a lot of things I already love about this game. The game thrives from its relative gameplay freedom, and I loved just walking around towns and talking to NPCs, and was surprised at how I’d randomly get party members that weren’t even part of the core eight main characters. While it’s true that these gripes are coming from a first-time SaGa player, it’s also telling of the complexity of the game’s systems, and how each player is likely to have a different experience as a result. Considering that a Tips section was even included in the newest game SaGa Scarlet Grace to help newcomers out, I’m surprised that nothing was added to a remaster of one of the old favorites, which newcomers are likely to play based on reputation.

The only e-manual Square Enix has released for the game can be found here, but I still had to resort to reading old player guides online in times of need. I’ve had experience with some Kyoji Koizumi-designed games like Legend of Legacy and The Alliance Alive, so I was accustomed to tech sparking and formations, but I can imagine these also being even more confusing to newer players. It’s just that you have to slog through getting used to, well, everything.
