Saga 2: Hihou Densetsu - Final Fantasy Legend II

Hello everyone! I welcome you all today another Square Enix remake! This is a remake of a lesser known RPG called Saga (Okay so Romancing SaGa and SaGa Frontier are popular... let's just talk about the FFL series). This was originally for the Gameboy so it has black and white colors. Lucky for us we are getting a BEAUTIFUL DS remake!

-----------------

Story: (Wikipedia) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Fantasy_Legend_II


The story in Final Fantasy Legend II (Saga 2) revolves around MAGI, the shards of a shattered statue of the goddess, Isis. The Hero is awakened by his father, who explains he has to leave for a while. He then makes his way through the Hero's open window.

Years later, the Hero decides to set out to find his father, and eventually joins a fight involving new gods bent on taking over the world and the Guardians, an organization dedicated to the protection of MAGI and to keep it from falling into the wrong hands.

The player visits twelve distinct worlds, in addition to the Celestial World and the shrine at its center. The goal of the game is to collect the varied pieces of MAGI scattered around each of these worlds. These MAGI pieces can also be equipped by your characters to increase stats or grant special abilities.

----------------

Simple RPG story. I'm sure Square will add more to it like they did Romancing SaGa 1 for the SNES. They remade it for PS2 naming it Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song.

I never had the chance to play this game. I once owned Saga III (Final Fantasy Legend III) for GB when I use to have a GBC... I'm not sure what happened to it. I'm very excited since Romancing SaGa for SNES blew and the remake was like ZOMGasm. Why are they remaking SaGa II insted of SaGa I? They remade SaGa 1 for Wonderswan color... which may never get here >_<;;;.... BUT SaGa II will be great. I'm thinking of putting the originals on my R4 and using the Lameboy emulator lol.

Thanks for reading!

YES YES YES YESSSSSSSSS

God this sounds great. I usually HATE SE remakes but you cant NOT afford to miss this. SaGa II is arguably the best in the series besides SaGa Frontier II.

Im going to pick up a DS just for this. The soundtrack is AMAZING, the gameplay is great, and the story is surpisingly good for a cliche. Finally a remake worth picking up :3

Its not a FF. If you play it with the "Final Fantasy" mentality then you wouldnt like it at all.

This is also one of my favorite games of all time, I highly reccommend those who havent played it to go emu it :3

ok im done posting here for a bit d:eek:

Was this the one where eating pieces of creatures turned you into that creature and gave you special abilities, or is it the one with the town that had the missing musician, thus no town music played?

Either way, it should be great. Both were high quality games.

umm it is a ff. that's why it had final fantasy in the name. gameboy had 4 ffs. final fantasy adventure {mystic quest in euroland}, final fantasy legend 1-3. thats like saying final fantasy mystic quest snes or final fantasy 7 wasn't a final fantasy game

imo all final fantasy legends were a better final fantasy than 12 or 11 too

but that doesnt mean its perfect. of the 3 ffl2 had the worstest gameplay & story: collect 70 stones. find your dad. give stones to apollo who blows up from using them and then a god joins your team to kill a robot tank. almost every single game on the project board is better than that

and stupid designer decisions like halfway through you kill greek god that was helping you and he takes away your ability to not game over all the time when you lose a fight. and if your in a dungeon and get into too many random fights CONGRATULATIONS YOU HAVE NO WEAPONS LEFT YOU LOSE. some dungeons are really long. and you cant use the good stuff because you cant buy more charges for them back in town so fights are all more hard than they have to be unless you dont want to save them for bosses. and if you feed your monsters the wrong meat they turn USELESS to a newbie monster and waste a character slot for a long time. but if you dont feed them meat theyre still USELESS anyways as you get to the next area and fight tougher stuff

long paragraph short: ffl2 sucks as a game whether its final fantasy or not

united the first was ffl3. ffl2 had monsters but you couldnt switch them to regular characters back and forth. don't remember town music so maybe that was this one

youre a fucking MORON it is a SaGa game, it was dubbed FF in america so it would appeal to the demographic better

newsflash: EVERY GAME ON THE PD IS LIKE THAT. And that wasnt all of it, I said it was a cliche but what do you expect? The game was made 15+ years ago.

celes was ffl1 a saga game too? I remember most systems used in ffl2 were based on that game

cheese - thank you for wonderful argument on why ffl2 is one of best games ever. strategy doesnt save you from having a 25 hp frog on your team at end area or too many random battles that take all 200 weapon uses. only reloads constantly or reading internet

Just like Final Fantasy adventure. It was called that in America. It is called Seiken Densetsu I in Japan. A remake has been done for GBA and the American name is Sword of Mana.

And people think squenix spams FFs nowadays. Back then, almost any square game released in America said Final Fantasy regardless of whether or not it was. The exceptions were Secret of Mana (Seiken Densetsu II), Secret of Evermore, Super Mario RPG, and Chrono Trigger. Notice how none of them were released for handhold systems.

Yes FF Adventure was Seiken Densetsu, and later remade for the GBA as Sword of Mana. I'm surprised it has taken them this long to do the same for the FF Legend games.

The main reason for that was because Square used to suck so much testicle so they had to spam the Final Fantasy brand on any ol' product. The few games released in that era without FF were HEAVILY ignored, even if they were decent.

Also, SOE was american developed :eek:

May be a good idea... except me of course <_<;;;

Please, everyone get back on topic before I ask a mod to close this thread.

So, how do you think they are going to handle parties? Like, will they have 4 seperate models each?

Btw, Ito is doing music again.
