Speaking of weapons, as most armaments are Tools with limited uses, you find yourself shelling out exorbitant amounts of money to either repair them or buy new ones of lesser power, when in other RPGs cash is normally saved to buy stronger items than the ones in possession. Fortunately, you will run across some magical weapon-Quells and steel weapons, neither of which run out of uses. Freedom to build your fighters however you choose, the amazing graphic style, an excellent soundtrack, and a myriad of battle techniques all help this game stand out, while being a welcome addition to any RPG fan's collection, and worthy of the Squaresoft legacy. If you liked the original SaGa games, there should be nothing stopping you from going out and buying this game posthaste. For novices to the series, be wary of the rather sharp learning curve with the SaGa series, but don't let that stop you from trying this game out.
Background music is immersive and matches the graphic style.
Sound effects are usually fitting, but not much more. Menus could have been better, though. Fantastic graphic style and epic multi-generation plotline give a fresh approach to storytelling. Several scenarios can only be accessed a second time through, and it's likely you'll miss out on story points the first time as well.
