Every choice leads to egg hatching???!?

>actually trying to steal the egg

I'm literally thinking of rebuying this on Switch cause I have it on Steam but it'd be so much comfier to play it on Switch. Otherwise, not great. My spells suck, I don't spark a lot of techs and I get lost a lot and might have to restart cause my battle rank is too high. But that's the joy of Saga.

>My spells suck

What's your set up? I've kept the Court Mage in my party nonstop, and his Blades of Wind absolutely rapes everything.

what do

My emperor, 2 soldiers from the castle, a brawler and Aries. I tried giving everyone magic but I wasn't 100% sure what to go for so I focused on buffs and healing.

If you do the Cumberland quest, you get access to Crusaders which are pretty good spellcasters.

Do new class users show up at the castle too or do I wanna just go to where they'd typically be and recruit em? Should I give everyone magic?

>Do new class users show up at the castle too

You have to travel to recruit most of them, which sucks but isn't much of a problem since the regions you can recruit them from are usually added to your empire after you've completed their quests. You shouldn't really bother giving everyone magic. Just having one or two dedicated spellcasters should serve you well enough.

Cool, I'll just try that and see what happens. Thanks.

Give everyone a healing spell and make sure you have someone that can cast a spell from each element, you just have to cast it once in a boss fight so your weapon/spell levels don't fall behind

So I finally took the plunge. Somehow all the claims about this game are greatly overblown, yet entirely true at the same time.

is it worth the shekels? please respond

$20-25 is really pushing it. Sadly there's no way of telling how much it will decrease in price if it ever goes on sale.

Personally I think it is the best SNES JRPG, and it is the first time a SaGa game got such a wide release and this remaster is the first time Romancing SaGa 2 ever got an English translation.

Take that as you will. For me it was a day one buy.

Sale. Or pirate.

The new sprites look pretty fucking wonky the way they animate them.

How do they compare to the originals?

The ninja and the diviner fit right in with the rest

You can stream your PC to your smartphone or Vita

What does that mean and how does it work? I'm a little behind the times.

I think there are different methods and I'm not sure which is the best one but basically it's remote play

Of course I'm assuming you have everything needed so you don't have to rebuy the game again

I stopped after about 10 hours. I just could not get into this game no matter how hard I tried.

How so? Is it truly unplayable?

Its actually perfectly playable, but good luck figuring out how things work.

>every attack you perform uses up HP
>enemies' attacks can damage your LP even if your HP isn't affected.

I was hanging on by the skin of my teeth in some sections.

If you can beat it then you can play it. I beat Judy's route blind. Only used the instruction manual that came with it and managed to pull through.
Yeah some of those LP piercing attacks are a pain, which is why you need to unlock certain things on body armor against it.

What determines unlocking abilities after battles? Every now and then after finishing fights a message will pop up saying a character unleashed an ability on a piece of equipment, and I have no clue what triggers it.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

TELL ME.

Wish I could tell you, but it feels like sparking a technique. Not all armors have all the skills, each type has its own skills. Maybe forging can mix skills but I didn't experiment too much with that.

That's another thing I don't get. The manual recommends going to a blacksmith daily to restore the durability of weapons, but the game doesn't let you just do that. Instead you have to forge new weapons. And the durability usually never gets restored or increased.

I just use the quick fix ability out of missions to get higher durability. That is if you are capable of doing so since it has been a few years since I've played Unlimited Saga.

I tried quick fix once. Got a dynamite stick in the reel and lost all use of the weapon.

Reminds me when I tried to disarm a chest. I failed the roll, spikes shot out, I got poisoned, the chest exploded, then it turned into a mimic. Once I finally got out of the battle a spiked ceiling came crashing down.

>Once I finally got out of the battle a spiked ceiling came crashing down.

Its a good thing traps only affect HP and not LP. Please don't tell me LP damaging traps become a thing later on

I'm done, wasn't too bad

Seeing this gave me a feel

Just done with Xenoblade 2.
Should I get this if I want something to kill my time before MHW?

I love the metal max series but I don't know if this is somewhat similar.

If you enjoy Metal Max you'll most likely dig SaGa.

There shouldn't be a need for restart as long as you build your spell levels

Switch version is comfy but there is lag and they haven't fixed it

I have three heroes left, but right now I'm just wandering around and getting all the good equipment I can. I've had to go to the Risen Island three times before I figured out how to get to the Sorcerer. I still have to go back in, because it timeskipped after I killed him and I wasn't able to get the chest behind him. Is dark magic even worth it?

Even if you don't build your spell levels you'll be fine. You don't need fusion magic ever.

It takes too long to level dark magic to the point it's useful but in theory it can be good. I guess it's helpful for the maze of memories boss.

I wasn't even thinking of fusions, Mist Cover and Sword Barrier are already enough to stand a good chance against the seven

I think so, got 40 decent hours out of it already

light magic is straight up better
no point on giving that up

What, you can only use one?

I stopped playing a while ago cause I heard the new patch caused a few bugs.
Did they get fixed?

It's like fire/water and earth/wind. Just means you can't use sword barrier on your dark mage.

Apparently, if you want an attack that scales off the dark magic stat you're better off using the wind magic HP drain instead of dark magic itself.

Opposing magic schools, same as the elementary schools. Each character has to choose between one of two schools, also determining what fusion magic he can use.
You can teach the other school, but you'll have to forget learned skills of the opposite magic and start over
