/v/ - Video Games

People often mention SaGa frontier and Saga 2 on the GB/DS as good starting points.

They tend to be less focused in story and more concerned with open ended gameplay and character growth.

depending of the game you have no levels, no random battles, grinding can bite you in the ass, HP gets restored after each battle but you have to worry about LP, multiple character routes, races that progress differently from humans, you pick the one that looks more interesting and try to figure out how it works as you play

Thought that the final boss would melt my face but I beat it very quickly

when the romancing games came out, Dragon Quest was an Enix series

Either way, the first section of this tells you all about how it compares to other RPG

in short:

>less laid-back following of a linear story

>more free world exploration, weird experimental mechanics and highly tactical battles

not to me, Japanese version purists complained about name changes afaik, but the translation was perfectly comprehensible and inoffensive in my book. A better job than some of the other SaGa localizations I think.

Unlimited Saga is actually pretty great, but dear GOD is it obtuse. Be sure to find a guide or something to understand the game's systems.

Because once you understand how everything works the game is wonderful, albeit still full of the kind of RNG bullshit that every SaGa game has. But without one it's maddening and confusing.
