NEWS: Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven Game Gets Remake

I'm very interested in giving this a try, much more than the other new one that just launched. It's such weird timing, if SaGa 2 had been announced prior to Emerald Beyond.... Emerald already seems DoA, so much of the exploration elements are looking like they're lacking and half-baked, and then suddenly SaGa 2 shows up, is already an established game, and has traversable 3D environs.

I hope this remake does well and sends the message to SE that we want more SaGa, but we want it to look like this and not Emerald Beyond.

SaGa Frontier 2 still holds up and definitely needs a port, with maybe a bit of HD to smooth out potential crustiness on newer screens. I wouldn't want them to try and redo anything in regard to the hand-painted watercolor sprites and backgrounds.

I think what most people want is a Remastered edition, similar to what SaGa Frontier got. Just make it look better for 1080p+ resolutions, and possibly finish up some of the things that were left unfinished in the original, like SaGa Frontier did for Fuse's quest. Off the top of my head, one of the things that really should fix is the Gustave story's final battle, since very few strategies were actually viable, and they relied on the CPU choosing to go in exactly the right spot, the RNG to hit the right number of enemies, etc.

Oh yeah, I'd agree to that 100%. Gamefaqs still has a separate guide to the Battle of South Moundtop. I remember back in the day, printing off a copy of that exact guide, with it's turn by turn exact instructions that still end up relying on the CPU making a wrong move at a specific time. Wild and terrible RNG at the end of Gustave's scenario , which is pretty much a story-driven breeze up to that point.
