SaGa Frontier 2: Worst than the first!

Okay - This game was horrible! It's like watching a big movie! For instance,let's take Gustave's scenario. The first 2 or 3 parts of the map are stories of his life,no big action here. Then we get into the fighting,which is horrible. I suggest you just run through it because building your character will get you nowhere. So overall,you're playing a game which turns out to be a big fantasy history lesson which takes place over hundreds of years.

Waste Of Your Money

This game is not worth your money, believe me. The storylines are confusing, and the battles are just boring, especially if you have to fight a battle right after the other. I would give it a higher rating if the weapons didn't actually BREAK! Personally, I think the first Saga Frontier was much better. MUCH BETTER!

Another horrible game.

I turned this game off a little way in, I think it was even worse than SF1. Definately a waste of the money I payed to rent the game. So boring.

5stars for fun, but the graphics...

This game is unlike any other. It has a teriffic story and battle engine but the graphics... Its like playing a cartoon! I think it ruins the whole game! I prefer graphics like those in the ff series. If you can get over the horrible graphics, then you should surely check this game out.

Why in God's name did they make a sequel?

I own Saga Frontier one and it isn't as bad this is. Why can't these SaGa Frontier games be good? I thought that this game would be different. No longer competely non-linear gameplay. There is a story that is very evident how who are supposed to follow it. Not like Saga Frontier where you could wander around for three hours and still not know what you wher doing. The battle system reminded me of old Game Boy games. You can only use this weapon 50 times and the attacks are incredibly weak quick whack the enemy again. I'm sorry but I am a firm believer that weapons shouldn't have a fixed usage to them. I believe that they should break on a rare occasion but they shouldn't have fixed number of times to use. The story goes between two characters that you choose which one to follow. At least they took a better stab at making a better story for the characters than they did last time. The battle system is also very complex. There are three types and sometimes it really confuses the player as to the differences between the three (and there are differences). The game's music has never been a strong point. I didn't care for it at all. Some of it was really good the rest sounded really bad. The graphics are beautiful though. They look very similar to those in Legend of Mana (same artists I think) and they will bowl you over. If you like graphics and don't care about anything else with a game enjoy. Otherwise don't waste your money.

Why would you make a game like this

I have seen bad games but, this just needs work.The battle system is horrible. The characters are ok. The way the begining starts is just stupid! What more can you say. All I can say is this game is no fantasy but it needs help.

Terrible game

I liked the first series but this was aweful. The music was beautiful and so were the colors but...

1. Weapons break, some with as little as 20 uses. If a weapon breaks you have to restructure your entire spells and skills section to accomodate for the new weapon elements.
2. You're constantly using different characters. There's no connection felt between you and the characters because you get a completely new party almost every single time. Build up your character and get weaklings again.
3. It's hard to tell what order you should select the events in. One minute you're 12 the other minute you're best friend of old age. Time in the game moves fast.
4. The game has some glitches that may make events unpassable.
5. The game has events that seem like super busywork. Areas that did nothing before trigger events. Some are almost impossible without a walkthrough.
6. The plot is horrible. It's boring, the character development is aweful.
7. It has quicksave but it forces you to use it. Some monsters in the game are nearly impossible and are everywhere in some scenes, like griffins.
8. The battle system is super annoying to learn. If you forget to unequip skills you end up not learning any, and you have to do stupid duels to gain stuff faster.
9. You're constantly fighting over and over and over. You're actions do not effect the plot, rather you're 'rewarded' with another tidbit of the aweful story after killing infinite amounts of monsters.
10. Some wars are nearly impossible and completely a matter of luck. In the wars you have armored guys around gustave it's impossible to lose. The whole war thing is a joke.
11. It takes like 10 seconds for the battle to start, between the battle transitions and you and the monsters fading in. It's not a lot, but after you've had like 5000 battles which the game makes you fight it's a kick in the teeth.

This is not a fun game. It's incredibly frustrating to actually work through

The biggest disappointment of my life

The first SaGa Frontier was absolutely incredible, so I bought this game... without hesitation. I would have been better off buying Soda Caps and root beer. I'm serious. This game is just plain no fun. The gameplay is like SaGa Frontier 1, but with anything to possibly differentiate your characters removed almost entirely. The fighting is pure tedium. The story, while better than the first game, is like reading an encyclopedia. Everything that made SaGa Frontier 1 so great has been removed or replaced.

Two stars for the graphics and the concept.

Well, to be honest with all of you, this game is great, but not GREAT. First of all, lets talk about the good things about SF2, the graphics are extremely beautiful, I have never seen any game executed in a way like this before, also the music blends in very well with the emotional atmosphere, and the intuitive battle systems, (1 - a war simulation game type of battle, 2- your typical RPG style group battle, 3 - a one on one duel mode) Like the previous SaGa Frontier, each character will acquire new skills during a fight. Ok, now let's talk about the down side of this game, one word for the storyline,...confusing... there are times where the player will have no idea what period it is if they do not follow the game chronologically, and since you play by generations, players will have problems keeping track on who is killed, or whose son or daughter belongs to whom and so on...also the time sense is horrible, one click of a button can take you to seven years beyond, and finally the character developement isn't detailed enough... Anyway, buy this game only if you are really into Square RPGs and beautiful graphics. I personally loved this game, but it may be hard for everyone to feel the same as I did...But make sure all of you check out Vagrant Story coming out later this year!

close but...

This could have been a great game. The hand drawn scenes are really unique and a pleasure after the polygon hash of many games. Sadly, the story is a bit bland, as with many recent RPGs. The non-linear story gets a little annoying after a bit and did not really get me to "role play" and feel any great excitment or interest towards the characters. But relative too much of the trash in my favorite genre, this isn't horrid. Give it a try if you've played Dragoon and Chrono Cross already
