Description
Western Square edition of SaGa Frontier 2, RPG with hand-painted watercolors and a chronicle storyline across two generations. Created by Square, released in 2000 in the United States, Europe, France and Germany with multilingual versions under the SaGa Frontier 2 title. Hand-painted watercolors, dual chronicle scenario between Gustave and Wil across two generations, turn-based combat with Combo Art system and Masashi Hamauzu orchestral soundtrack. European multilingual editions.
A Square sequel with splendid watercolour art direction, SaGa Frontier 2 tells a generational fresco between two protagonists, carried by a combat system built on spontaneously learning techniques mid battle. The beauty of the painted settings, the melancholy of the story and the depth of the system are winning. The abrupt difficulty and the opacity of some mechanics put off newcomers. A refined, demanding RPG to recommend for fans of the SaGa branch and of striking art direction.
