Didn't hold my attention for long

I'm playing the switch 2 version of this game, but I bought the switch 1 version, so I can't comment on switch 1 performance.
The game itself is decent, but I'll admit it didn't hold my attention for long. The story is generic, and I don't like the fact that the main gimmick of this game is pretty much perma death and that the characters you start off with is not the characters you end with. Kinda makes me detached to the characters
Also, the motion blur is horrible.

Romancing Saga is a niche game in niche genre. Its like studying alchemy when you’re trying to get a chemistry degree. Is there a lot of fun to be had? Yes! Is it needlessly convoluted? Also yes!

Really enjoyed this game. SaGa Frontier 1 & 2 were originally the only SaGa games I played in this series but this game did not disappoint! It was a great story, battle system, and interesting concept of traversing the games and decision making. Definitely give this a try if you're thinking about trying this game!

Wonderful remake of a lesser-known Square RPG. I was initially intimidated by the mechanics (death of a party member or a 'time jump' makes you choose a successor to that role or party), but I quickly grew to love it. Death is intentional, even beneficial, because you still retain the skills, items, and progress of your predecessors. So in essence, you continue onward, strengthening yourself and your parties with generational knowledge, abilities, and story progress.
Yes, it is worth spending the extra $10 on the eShop for the Switch 2 upgrade IMO. Smoother framerate and sharper graphics really round the game out on the system.
Definitely recommended!

Excellent JRPG. I thoroughly enjoyed it all the way through. My only disappointment with the game is that you can miss a lot of big side quests if you finish the main missions in the arcs. The game doesn't tell you either if it's part of the main arc or not, so I missed out on 2-3 different stories that were happening.

An excellent title!
Please download the demo first, it'll give you the utter basics of the core gameplay loop. The game does use death as gameplay mechanic which can be frustrating to those that don't like losing to a boss every now and then.
Great game overall, please give it a try!

Talk about surprising. From the way leveling works to the fact that every so often there are time jumps and you need to create an entirely new team, Romancing Saga 2 is an absolute blast.
