Judy, Ventus, Ruby, or Laura are probably the best quests to do if you just wanted to do a single playthrough. The other three have gimmicks that make them much more difficult or annoying. Armic's has the aforementioned item trading tied to plot progression, Mythe's quest is extremely difficult at the start and the end and his team options are all incredibly frail. Kurt has an miserable gimmick where he will be ambushed about every hour and forced to fight a one on one battle. There's multiple stages that he will progress through and they get harder each time. The last couple fights will require a pretty well built Kurt to beat along with a bit of luck. If you lose the fight it just drops you right where you were with no penalty, but Kurt is rather beefy so it wastes about 10 minutes of your time with each loss.

Arzaac posted:Never before have I had a game softlock on a required quest because it's a kill all enemies map, but the enemies spawn in faster than I could kill them. (You're supposed to kill everyone before too many reinforcements spawn in but that practically requires you know where to go ahead of time) This one is extra "cool" because it's a quest that happens directly after another dungeon without a chance to save. Ended two of my three aborted attempts of "okay it's been a couple of years and this time I will learn to love this game"

Frontier question: I'm trying to go to Wakatu. I have Gen. He's been in my party since I got him from Scrap early on. However, I didn't ascertain that he was from Wakatu via Koorong before that. They won't let me in. Did I screw myself?

If I remember correctly, they’ll only let you in if you’re on the Arcane magic gift quest.

Also: Anyone with you when you complete one quest is unable to receive the gift for the other, even if you do both quests. So if for whatever reason you want to get both gifts, you'll need to grab some extra fuckos after getting the first gift so they can get the other.

There's another way around this - if someone knows a spell from the opposing school, they won't get the gift even after completing the magic quest. So if you want most of your team to get the gift for light magic, but one person to get the gift for shadow magic, you can buy that one person a shadow magic spell, do the light magic quest, then go do the shadow magic quest without needing to juggle party members.

Shadow magic rules and everyone should get it because shadow servant is OP as hell if the boss isn't spamming AOE. Also getting shadow magic means you can recruit Silence (unless you're playing as T260-G or Riki). The best thing about light magic is that Light Sword is the strongest weapon in the game (and gives +10 to all stats, iirc). Mega Windblast is good AOE damage too but Blue/Rouge already have vermillion sands, monsters get stuff like sacred song, and dual wield gale slash can put out a ton of damage even with the store bought zero swords, and guns have their AOE options.

If you're doing NG+ characters carry over their magic but not their gifts so I think you can get opposing spells on people that way as well but it's been a while since I played SF remastered.

The problem with Shadow Servant in Frontier is that it interferes with combos. I think you can actually output more damage without it than with it in many cases. Also most bosses use AOEs.

You're kinda underselling MegaWindBlast a bit. Outside of some mech options that aren't always available it is the best option for multitarget damage and remains the best spammable damage options for pure mages and mystics.

I have officially completed SaGa Frontier. What a ride. My first SaGa in a long time and everything was as wonderfully random as back on the Game Boy. The setup was wild, the scenarios were varied, and I had a hell of a time getting through them all. A++, not gonna do it again, but I'm glad I did. However, I have not completed SaGa Frontier Remastered. There's that Fuse-shaped hole remaining. Not now, but later.

Finally beat the Soulgutter quest and I certainly wasn't expecting a Mario Party minigame. What was Spiritwhack (edit: corrected the name) supposed to do anyway? Bc the thing kept missing every single time it was used. On that note, I'm at ER 16 and I think I got all time-critical quests out of the way besides the Jewel Beast before it wakes up.

Wait, the blessing had a gameplay use? I thought it was just for plot because of the whole soul-sucking thing like that one dude in the cutscene.

Sounds it's also a callback to Kzinssie's soul stealer ability in RS2 and how it will immediately perma-kill anyone who doesn't have the soul stealer dodge skill.

Somehow I killed the Jewel Beast, got my 8th fatestone, Sif got her dragon eye all shiny now and recruited the Dragon Knight. All that's left is wait for the ending quests I guess and grab the last two fatestones.

Dumb question: is there any particular reason why it's always rendered as "SaGa" instead of just "Saga"?

There's not, like, a "and that is the story of the sausage gazebo" namedrop moment or anything. Linguistically, there's a not-quite-a-hyphen in Japanese used to glue together foreign terms, and this was used between "sa" and "ga" in the Japanese name until Frontier; caps again without a space is actually a pretty clever way to bring that across. Legally, there are a lot of other games with "Saga" in the name but none done up like that, so it probably made the trademark a bit easier/more confident. In terms of posting, see also how many other games.

I just started Fuse's first case file. They REALLY want you to do the laps around the regions to get ready for the bosses, huh? And all the gear you can get is on-site procurement only? That's an odd way of padding things.

I wouldn't be surprised if the intended way to do Fuse's stuff is via carryover data. Especially since it's effectively where the super bosses are.

Fuse is very much expecting you to use Carryover Data.

OK, I'm a dummy, and I can buy gear. That's good. By "carryover data" do you mean New Game +? Can I actually do that before finishing any of Fuse's things?

After you've cleared anyone's game, you can load carry over data from any save file.

the big change in the remaster is that you can choose to keep a bunch of stuff after clearing a scenario. in the original, you started from scratch each time. with fuse, you really need to take advantage of this.

OK, so I finished Lute's scenario last so I launched right into his file when I picked Fuse, but I wasn't given any option to load a save file. If anything carried over, I can't tell.

Really excited for this. I love that they're doing a more Frontier-style setting, all the characters look cool, and focusing more explicitly on the branching storyline stuff they played with in Scarlet Grace looks really interesting. I'm curious how the battle system works, Scarlet Grace had incredibly good mechanics and it looks like they're doing something similar here.

I hope they'll show the Tomomi Kobayashi artworks soon, I'm really liking the designs and I can't wait to see them in Kobayashi's style. Also I'm expecting a lot of gayness from Bonnie and Formina, I want to believe I won't be disappointed.
