[DS] SaGa 2/Final Fantasy Legend II Remake

I heard about this days ago, but holy crap, I didn't think it was the Legend game I played (I thought I had been playing Legend III).

SaGa2

Not much is known, except that it's a remake for the DS. I'll add more when I hear about it.

I remember buying the original on Game Boy eight or nine years ago, just because I wanted a portable RPG. I for one am excited about a remake, just because Legend II provided me with all the appropriate weirdness for a SaGa game-- four races to choose from for all four party members (nothing like having a robot and his mutant friends go look for his human father), weird leveling systems that changed depending on the race, traveling through a person's body and having the subsequent dungeon be a crudely designed human shape.

The last SaGa game, Romancing SaGa, turned out fine, and the Last Remnant was great outside of some technical aspects, so I have a lot of faith in this one.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Looking good!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well, this game looks like it'll be streamlined to some degree. A robot is getting healed by a regular spell, and I believe robots originally were not healed at inns or through normal items or magic.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

It would be nice to replay Red's quest once again, or to go through Asellus' quest as well. I miss a lot of the supporting characters like Mei Ling, Rufus, Fuse and Gen also. The stories in 2 seemed lacking compared to the first.

Now, for me, I thought Frontier's characters lacked the personality and depth of Frontier II's. I only ever enjoyed the robot's story, while II had Prince Gustav's intriguing story arc and the supporting characters (Wil Knights' story sucked, I'll give you that).

Gustav's story began before he was even born, all the way through to his exile, to his return home years later, to his victory over his half-brother in the ensuing civil war, to his unification of various kingdoms, and even beyond his death; the developers taking care to thoroughly explain what happens in the ensuing power vacuum as his former generals begin to turn against each other. Then, quite appropriately, his story finishes with an epic final battle against an impostor and pretender to the throne, which leads to a true successor to Gustav's position. The Battle of South Moundtop is so hard that it actually has its own guide on GameFAQs. Fun stuff.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
