Unlimited SaGa is actually one of my favorite games. (I'm more of a fan of the SaGa series than Final Fantasy) However, it's definitely not for everyone. In fact, I'd say the target audience is pretty small.

If you're familiar with the old tabletop games such as Dungeons & Dragons, then you'll fit right in. The gameplay presents itself as a sort of storybook / tabletop ordeal. There's geneally no free movement or immersive, 3D worlds -- just selecting which point you want to travel to, and then watching various conversations ensue. The battles are your standard turn-based engine, but with far more randomization and a major dependency on luck.

Since it's relatively cheap, I'd go ahead and pick up a copy just so you can check it out. If you don't like it, then it's not like you've really wasted much money.

EDIT: Sorry. I didn't mean to resurrect this. I actually have my forum settings to display ALL threads, regardless of date.
