Now that I've really started to immerse myself into the series, I've decided that SaGa gets a bad rep from JRPG enthusiasts. The series may be unconventional but I've found most entries I've played to be really solid games overall. It has been nice to see SE finally give this franchise a second shot this gen, and I hope it starts garnering more fans. I feel the real turn off for most fans is the hands off approach to storytelling. Even I had to get used to it, and I still stand by my assessment that had Saga Frontier 2's plot had more investment put into it, it could have easily been a gateway entry for the franchise.
