Starting with the main menu, you are able to select up to 7 different scenario storylines following a singular character and their journey. This allows for open world interactions with the same characters across multiple scenarios, giving the world a more dynamic feel and letting you tailor the gameplay to your own personal style.
It’s a wide open world utilized fantastically within the game’s “Free Scenario” System. It’s a vibrant world varying wildly from vampire mystic castles, high stakes casinos and treacherous swamps.
Saga Frontier takes place in a universe called “the regions:” A collection of planets and areas traversed by fast travel spaceships or boats. This is an exciting prospect for people like me who harken back to Square’s hay day with rose colored glasses.

Sandwiched between Final Fantasy Tactics and Front Mission 2, and entering the hallowed halls of what came before it.

The Saga series quickly established a fan base of their own due to the varied character mechanics, intricate progression systems, and detailed world building. Over the years, the Legends brand became known as the Saga games (the proper moniker in the East.) These were turn based like their predecessors, but came with their own set of rules that set them apart. December 1989, they took a version of their lauded Final Fantasy series and brought them to Game Boy, under the title Final Fantasy Legends. The peak of Square’s rule over role playing games came in the 90’s where they released game after game, almost monthly. They have created some of the most pivotal series of the genre that include Final Fantasy, Breath of Fire*, Chrono Trigger - the list can go on and on. Square, or Square Soft as it was once known, has a storied history with JRPG’s.
