Roogle, for as much as I hate you (which is not at all, really), you always surprise me with your taste in games.Originally Posted by Roogle

In Saga Frontier I remember how stoked I was when I finally got all seven characters in the saved data complete thing. The whole 'directors room' or whatever it was, I think one of the most underwhelming experiences I've ever had in a video game. Lol. The game has a certain magical mystical feel to it that remains in place throughout the game. The characters are just plain cool, and for me anyways, are some of the more memorable characters in my rpg career. T260G's story was probably my favorite... Blue comes close. They're all interesting, and again, just plain cool.
The second games throws you in a MUCH MORE linear story, HOWEVER, it vastly expands upon the already cool characters of the first game giving you a BADASS cast. (There is a particular assassin character I found irresistible and interesting.) The whole 'play generation to generation' gameplay was very unique. A hidden gem of the old squaresoft hits. I could never take out the last boss, no matter how much I would grind. :-O
Romancing Saga 3 feels in many ways as a precursor to Saga Frontier. Boston the Lobster was def. one of my favorite characters in the game. He's a smurfing lobster! Cool wide open story, kick ass abilities, and, again, unforgettable cast make this another great game. Didn't play much of one or two... I remember that one of them was incredibly hard...
If you want to get technical, the Final Fantasy Legend games were originally of the saga.bloodline. Final Fantasy Legends 3 was great. It felt like it focused more of the monster character gimmick familiar to the series, as half your party can change into monsters making for interesting battles.
Wow. The saga games are awesome, and under rated. I think everyone should give them a shot...
