Worth getting just for Saviors of Sapphire Wings?

[Ultimate Gattai]

I already have Stranger of Sword City (the original one), is it worth getting this dual pack just for Saviors of Sapphire Wings? I've gone through this board and my understanding is that this pack is a bad port of two reasonably good games, is there anything else I should be aware of?

I didnt mind the game that much, I thought it was good, if simplified, but I never played the original, since it was Japanese only. Worth it if it's on sale for sure, if you like games like Sword City.

it's fine if you like this kind of game. not spectular tho. probably wont make lasting impression. sosc is the better game but you already play it so yeah probably buy it when there is 50% price off, think of it for buying half the content of the game bundle

yes it is.

Honestly if you own and haven't beaten any of the other half-dozen games with the same mechanics, you're probably going to put SoSW down the moment you've fulfilled your need for the early/mid gameplay fix, then go to the other games. Unless you really like average JRPG dialogue.
This one's quite a ways better than Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls, at least. This game tries really, really hard to make a flexible character "creation" system despite having fixed characters, and it's appreciated, but packaging this with a much more unforgiving game that got released earlier is a little questionable. Consider it a family game.
