Unlimited SaGa when?

[Yomigael]

Can't wait for the remaster of my favorite game in the series.

Gimme gimme.

well just curious but why is Unlimited Saga your fav? till now i only heard bad things about it like it's too much rng dependent and the combat system being to convoluted. Never played it myself. Would like to get your perspective on this.

I've heard bad things about it too but ended up enjoying it a lot once I gave it a good chance.

It feels like an augmented tabletop game, if that makes sense. There's always a bit of uncertainty about what awaits you at every step, and chances are you'll never be 100% sure that you've mastered its systems.

It can be impenetrable and it does have its fair share of problems, but the moment you stop worrying about the exact details and start rolling with the punches, it becomes a 'comfort food' type of game, enhanced by nice visuals (although the map screen won't be for everyone) and fantastic music.

I've heard that Kawazu wants to remaster Unlimited, as it's his favorite, but who knows if SE will let him. I've always preferred RS:MS to US by a long shot, but I do hope they let him remaster US as well just for completion's sake.

If Kawazu gets a chance and they add in quality of life improvements, I'd totally give Unlimted Saga a shot again. It did come off like you were playing a Dungeons & Dragons campaign! I was sadly never really good with the combat roulette though. That and figuring out what to slot in and out upon level up...

I thought Kawazu mentioned something about the game needing a full remake. Could be interesting

How about a Last Remnant remaster too :)

Oh ya, that was supposed to be a thing! *looks at the copy listed in my Steam library that can no longer be purchased*

[Michael the Meek]

SaGa Frontier 2 and Unlimited SaGa are the only ones left and they talked about remastering them as well.

If they do they'll have to remove the RNG that made everyone hate the game in the first place. I loved Unlimited SaGa ONLY because of it's art/characters/music but I can't comment on the story because I never got far enough with how they had the RNG roulette system. Until that system is removed/reworked I don't think they'll bother remastering it considering it wouldn't make them much money.

possible next game is saga frontier 2

[Narky Sawtooth♪]

Unlimited SaGa had its problems (once got soft-locked by a party split leaving me with a single party member that had phobia), but a remaster of it would be great.

Frontier 2 would make for some relaxing gaming.

...hm, then basically every non-mobile SaGa would be on Steam. All except for SFC Romancing SaGa, that is.

i must say unlimited saga for me was the most difficult game of all the saga games really. i never finished it sadly. but will pray for the remaster so others can play it. i would just most likely watch someone else playthrough and not playing it myself though.

The roulette system (if you're talking about when you attack and hitting the button to try and hit glimmer attacks) was not actually RNG. The attacks were always on the same spots on the wheel and you easily time it to hit what you wanted. It takes a little bit to figure but once you get it, it's not bothersome- in fact it kind of feels skillful to hit a big combo with all your best skills.

Agreeing with everyone else here, Unlimited SaGa is my favorite SaGa of all time. I understand why it got so much hate but nothing could beat the art/music/atmosphere and once you started to figure out some of it's deeper systems, you could get lost in how awesome and fun it was. Surprisingly deep and nuanced game. Played it more than I played several other JRPGS of that time and still saw very little of what the game overall offered.
