Earlier this year Square Enix released a remaster of SaGa Frontier 2 (read our review here). It is one of the better entries in that marvellous B-side JRPG properties that the publisher owns, and the remaster more than did the game justice. Indeed it’s such a lovely, artful game that if you’ve got a shiny new Switch 2, you could…

Read MoreIt’s incredible to think that Bravely Default: Flying Fairy is 13 years old at this point. It feels like it was just yesterday that it was turning heads as a new spin on the JRPG genre and a brilliant homage to Final Fantasy in particular (Flying Fairy as the subtitle…

Narratively, though, it makes sense: Dragon Quest III is a prequel to Dragon Quest I and II. Today, Square Enix announced that Dragon Quest I &…
Read MoreWe, long-suffering SaGa fans, have been utterly inundated with the franchise over the past 12 months or so. First, there was SaGa: Emerald Beyond. Then there was the remake of Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven (and arguably the finest SaGa game of all). And now we have the…

Read MoreIt’s easy to wonder why Square Enix would go to such great effort to remake one of the oldest Dragon Quest titles. After all, the HD-2D engine they’ve applied to Dragon Quest III would have made the SNES trilogy positively sparkle, and those titles are far more renowned for their…

Read MoreThere has already been a remake of Romancing SaGa 2. We have a review of it on DigitallyDownloaded.net and everything. But that was a relatively simple effort, in that the developers modernised the sprites and art so the SNES original was then in “HD,” and otherwise left it at that.…
