First introduced for PlayStation in 1999, SaGa Frontier 2 deviates significantly from its predecessor, SaGa Frontier, which adhered more closely to traditional SaGa gameplay conventions. In general, the SaGa series features multiple protagonists, non-linear narratives, and intricate character development systems that encourage risk-taking and exploration. However, Frontier 2 presents a narrative more akin to reading a historical text, with chapters organized in a sequential manner. Although you have the option to jump ahead or read chapters out of order, the story remains linear and isn’t influenced by your discoveries or choices that seemingly alter the game’s random elements. Each chapter is outlined in a menu, complete with titles and dates that can be compared to a broader historical record. While certain elements may be missed, the plot does not evolve based on your findings or choices.
