The individual tales do intersect sometimes, and while most of the story lines you interact with aren’t novel-level because they need to be simple enough to weave in and out of different character scenarios due to the order of events scene or choices made by the player. The Free Scenario System gives players an extensive amount of freedom in how you approach the campaigns of the eight protagonists, though the stories presented in SaGa Frontier Remastered aren’t exactly in-depth rollercoasters that will leave you on the edge of your seat. SaGa Frontier is a very open game by JRPG standards, but the Free Scenario System in the game allows for unique player experiences by changing what events you see, and when, based on what the player chooses to do. Eight separate adventures await the player, and this isn’t like Octopath Traveler where they all eventually meet up and work toward a common goal: Each chosen protagonist makes a party out of dozens of unique characters, and in some may be vitally important to the story progression of one story, but may barely say a word in another tale. In SaGa Frontier Remastered, players are almost immediately dropped onto a character select screen from which you can pick your chosen protagonist and follow their storyline. A tough nut to crack, SaGa Frontier had multiple systems and mechanics that it let the player use and abuse in esoteric ways, and this remaster aims to let a nostalgic JRPG reach a new audience. It was a truly perplexing game, throwing out a lot of mechanics that were shared among games like Wild Arms, Final Fantasy VI, Breath of Fire III, and more, opting to do its own unique approach to the art of JRPGs. The SaGa series is somewhat notorious for eschewing the norms of JRPG design, and SaGa Frontier back in 1998 was no different.
