If you’re a fan of classic RPGs – or if you missed the original release back in 1999 – you’re in for a treat. Square Enix just dropped SaGa Frontier 2 Remastered, an enhanced take on the cult-favorite adventure that captures all the nostalgia while adding updated graphics, gameplay improvements, and extra story content. Best of all, you can dive into the action right now on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, PC (Steam), iOS, and Android.
A Vivid Watercolor World, Revamped for Modern Platforms
The moment you start SaGa Frontier 2 Remastered, you’ll notice its iconic warm watercolor-style graphics in glorious HD. Not only have existing character sprites been upscaled for crisp resolutions, but brand-new sprites have also been created for certain characters who lacked unique models in the original release. The overall result is a beautifully refreshed visual style that remains true to the game’s origins.
Two Interwoven Journeys
Fans and newcomers alike can look forward to stepping into the intertwined paths of Gustave and Wil:
- Gustave: A royal heir caught in a power struggle that could shape an entire kingdom’s future.
- Wil: A budding excavator forced to confront a looming threat that endangers the world.
Their stories play out via a reconstructed History Choice system, letting you experience their fates unfold in a non-linear timeline that merges together as you progress.
Highlights of the Remaster
