SaGa Frontier Remastered Is Getting A Physical Release In Asia, With English Language Support

Best news of today, now do the same for Legend of Mana and Star Ocean: First Departure R then give us Star Ocean: Second Evolution R and SaGa Frontier 2 remastered and do the same for those too.

@bloodwolfe maybe this is a physical release up your alley?

@ghost_of_hasashi yes please!

The Legend of Mana physical release is a Square Enix e-Store exclusive at the moment. But hopefully it'll get a retail standard edition as well.

Heads-up much appreciated, thank you.

@Friendly Oh hell yeah, definitely right up my alley! LOL

Is this game good? I never played it back in the day.

Is Play-Asia website messed up for anyone else?

am I the only one who hates the remastered look? it reminds me of the bad mobile chrono trigger and ff6 ports, the sprites look all plastic and glossy and the font is terrible!

Already grabbed this. Really nice to have a lot of these old Square games on a cartridge for Switch. Probably the last physical release for a lot of these older RPGs for the foreseeable future or maybe ever.

I'm just sitting here waiting for the Legend of Mana Collectors Edition to pop up on PlayAsia.

I have some Asian versions with English support. Sometimes they're even better than the Western releases, like the Asian FFX/X-2, which has both games on the cart.

This is the most obtuse and boring videogame I've ever played. I bought it back in the nineties thinking it would be an RPG, but it's incredibly tedious and not fun at all. It may appeal to chartered accountants, though.

@Wavey84 I don’t agree with your assessment, however I also don’t know what Grandai is either .

@Magician Yes, selling a physical print of a game ONLY through an elaborate collector's edition is just a jerk thing to do.

I mean, maybe they want to sell the game to the hardcore fanbase, but to suggest you're not fan enough to play the physical game unless you are willing and able to drop an additional hundred dollars on extra trinkets is quite rude.

@Tim_Vreeland I think Wavey mispelled Grandia (though technically Grandia was a Saturn original but only to Japan).

@Wavey84 What is Grandai 🤔🤠😆💀

@KingMike Yeah I know, just having fun with someone so serious

@Tim_Vreeland
Grandai FTW!

I preordered this from PlayAsia on both PS4 and Switch... apparently the PS4 release was cancelled.

Really hoping Legend of Mana gets announced soon.

Also... they released Romancing Saga 2 and 3 on Switch but not 1 and now they are doing Saga Frontier. I hope the plan is to keep going and do Saga Frontier 2 and especially the PS2 remake of Romancing Saga 1 (called Romancing Saga: Minstrel Song). That PS2 game is one I never finished and would love to take another shot at!

@Magician If I had to buy a collectors edition to get that game I would... of course I would need it to be fully in English as I don't read Japanese.

I assume they will at least do an Asia English release for Legend of Mana, at least on Switch, as most Square retro games have gotten one (Final Fantasy 7/8, Final Fantasy 9, Romancing Saga 3) if not a full US release (Collection of Mana)

@BatHobbit
The Japanese release for Legend of Mana does support English. Most Square Enix Japan releases usually do, only a few don't such as Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, Dragon Quest Heroes I & II, Saga Scarlet Grace, etc.
