Saga Frontier Remasters draws a line in the sand, and sets a new standard in what I expect in seeing an old JRPG ported to the modern age.
The result of all of this is a strictly superior version of an underappreciated game, one that strips away many potential stumbling blocks for players while keeping the original experience intact. SaGa Frontier Remastered offers anyone, fan or critic of the original, plenty of reasons to revisit this sprawling, undercelebrated, unorthodox adventure.
SaGa Frontier is one of the most unconventional RPGs you'll ever play and this Remastered version refines it without taking away from the original's charm at all. If you're up for something truly unique then you won't regret giving it a go.
SaGa Frontier Remastered brings nothing but good things to this classic and unforgiving RPG.
SaGa Frontier Remastered is a definitive edition of the classic PS1 RPG. Made with great care, it manages not only to present small graphical improvements but also to add relevant content. Its quality of life elements make the experience much more palatable, but even players who want to revisit the game in the original way on modern platforms can adapt it to their own way.

While not a traditional JRPG, SaGa Frontier Remastered is the perfect game to play if you prefer narrative over gameplay with complex character development.
For its price point, SaGa Frontier Remastered is an absolute bargain for SaGa fans and probably worthwhile for RPG fans writ large.
Grind parts can be annoying, but it is a successful Remaster, prepared for the new generation of players to experience JRPG games of the PlayStation 1 era.

SaGa Frontier Remastered feels like a very lazy remaster with very few adjustments that actually 'improve' the gameplay experience.

An unforgettable JRPG epic that in some aspects has not been surpassed by any other game. Unique characters and situations, a non-linear narrative structure, a deep combat system and an atmosphere of endless adventure will not leave anyone indifferent.

Still marching to the beat of its own drum, SaGa Frontier Remastered is an example of a remaster done right. The oddity and creativity of the original has been excellently preserved, while the new additions and improved visuals round out the package.
SaGa Frontier Remastered is the new gold standard for remasters and is proof that the return of any RPG – no matter how quirky, old, or niche – is possible.
Although SaGa Frontier Remastered is an old game with a nostalgic appeal, it is impossible not to compare it with current titles of the genre and realize that much is missing. If you played the original, it might be worth taking a chance on the extra content, otherwise, I recommend waiting for a sale.

SaGa Frontier Remastered is a must-play for die-hard fans of the original. Though I found myself having some fun with the characters and gameplay, the game’s lack of explanation it gives to players about literally everything makes it hard to recommend to new players.
SaGa Frontier Remastered sees Square Enix's cult classic JRPG looking and playing better than ever, with a lovely HD lick of paint and lots of restored content and quality of life improvements providing hardcore fans with an experience they'll doubtless enjoy. However, this is still a game that's aged quite poorly in many respects; an idiosyncratic, eccentric and infuriating experience that refuses to guide you or help you in any way, and one that, in the end, is quite hard to recommend to anyone who isn't already a fan.
SaGa Frontier Remastered is almost an impossible game for me to recommend to anyone with the expectation that it'll click. I can tell you it's a very unorthodox RPG, compelling in its unconventionally, and a delight to figure out. There's not much like it at all, and it's even somewhat of an oddball within its own series. SaGa offers a certain flavor of RPG not seen often elsewhere, and maybe it's one you'll like, though it's a bit of an acquired taste.
SaGa Frontier Remastered’s new content and visual upgrade make it a must for series fans and those who love classic RPGs but newcomers will be wary of old design decisions.
Some of the game's mechanics are poorly explained and the difficulty curve can be unforgiving. These can be overlooked when a game is just so well crafted and fun to play as this. A must for all RPG fans but have Google on standby.
