The SaGa series was the brainchild of game producer Akitoshi Kawazu. In the late 80s and early 90s, he was working at the game company Square. This company would eventually become Square Enix. WIth the growing popularity of the Game Boy, Square wanted some of that sweet sweet portable money. As such, they called upon their developers to make a game for the little gray brick.
Kawazu and Koichi Ishii (creator of the Mana series) suggested they make an RPG. After all, at this point, Square had shown themselves quite the hand at the genre. The SaGa games differentiated themselves from Final Fantasy by using non-linear plots and open world exploration. The series has had ten games so far, and has sold over 9 million units on various consoles. And now the first three games of the series are coming to the Switch! Let's look at the announcement trailer!
A lot of companies have been bringing their older games to the Switch. I, for one, love it. It's a great way to introduce a new audience to some classic games that they've never played before. It also allows
Final Fantasy Legend - Released in 1989 in Japan and 1990 in North America by Square for the Game Boy. The first in the SaGa series. The first game developed by Square for the Game Boy. In this game, you play as a group of heroes travelling around a series of worlds with a giant tower centered around them.
This game would get highly prised, but was criticized for its difficulty and graphics.
Final Fantasy Legend II - Released in 1990 by Square in Japan, 1991 in North America. In this one, your player character is searching for their father while trying to assemble the pieces of the statue of a goddess. This game was praised as superior to the previous entry.
Final Fantasy Legend III - Released in 1990 by Square, and 1993 in North America. In this game, the world's been flooded by a being called the Pureland Water Entity. Like the previous two games, it was heavily praised. However, it was criticized for its story and its equipment screen.
There isn't really much to say about this trailer. I do like the new features that have been added. I think I just may give this a shot. Thanks for reading this blog entry! If you liked it, show it off! Take care of yourself, and each other. Stay safe, Stay home, wash your hands often, and wear a mask! See you next time!
