With the fate of the world uncertain, follow the journey of Urpina, Taria, Balmant, and Leonard as they call on their might and set out to carve a new future.
The Firebringer, a fallen god and bane of humanity, has wrought havoc on the world since his exile. Mankind constructed an Empire with a singular purpose: engage the Firebringer and his fiends in battle to defend humanity.

Neato. Might need to check this out.
From the pictures, it looks like a very cheap mobile game.
Ugh the art is terrible, looks like a dodgey mobile game. I want to believe, but probably a hard pass. Yuck!
Another one to add to the wish list.
Oh, good as if i don't want enough games as it is.
part of me wants it and then another part sees it and thinks meh it looks like as others have said a cheap mobile game.
Unsurprisingly, the art reminds me of Legend of Legacy
I remember the original version got announced to come out in english then nothing happened then they announced this improved version which is good.
Love the art style, so excited for this!
Too many games to play and not enough time. Added to the wish list
Looks turn-based... meh...
So when's Frontier coming switch-side?
I hope they keep porting these remasters because I’m dying to play Saga Frontier again!
Hmmm.. There isn’t much story to this one, but the battle mechanics are Saga through and through. I will be putting it on my wish list.
I was hoping for a physical release, but...alas. And the Japanese physical release doesn't support English either. Which is a shame, because the uber-edition for this game is amazing.

Square seems to be going all out on these Saga games. One day I will check these out because they do look good.
@bolt05 $30 and no battle pics, bottom had a menu and some work type in a battle map I guess. I'll stick with romancing saga 3 woot i learned Mikhail war the fan translation didn't explain though this had minimal tutorials. Still happy to win after 20 years.
After this can we please get remastered versions of SaGa Frontier 1 & 2 for Switch please Square Enix? Those are the ones I missed back in the old days.

Hi !
Just to say that everyone before japanese release had this feeling too.
But don't be fooled, it's to me the best saga game I ever played when it comes to mechanics.
Very fun and challenging. It makes each battle count so you're never bored and strategy is at the top.
The art style and narrative are very unique and kinda help the game a lot.
They trimed a lot that was unnecessary.
I thought I'd miss some classic RPG elements but now I'm considering buying it for the 3rd time to try it in localised language and support it.
@ryancraddock Nice necro-bump thumbs up
I love SaGa!!! I'll probably pick this up!
I feel like everything after (and including) unlimited saga was just horrible. I tried to give this shot and it's just not fun.
SaGa games are unique but definitely not for everyone. They are charming but obscure, nonlinear in their story and gameplay but with a crazy addictive loop for those who enjoy turn based strategy elements pushed to their maximum. It is really a tough one to recommend to mainstream gaming but if anyone is ever curious about trying a new RPG (just keep an open mind), Saga games are one of the most interesting games to try.
@Specter_of-the_OLED @Tharsman Saga Frontier Remastered is on Switch… unless you are both referring to something else?
EDIT: Wow just realised how old this article is. Well I will leave this comment here so everyone can learn from my mistake.
I’ll probably skip this bought saga frontier and just found it too hard
I was getting killed in the first few battles
