Back when this was only known as "Final Fantasy Legend 2" and I still actually played Final Fantasy games, I rented the game from a Mom and Pop game rental store that rented out GB games. Almost instantly I was in love with the strange game that played nothing like the other games that shared it's name. No Exp? Weapons that had to be taken care of or they would break? An RPG that was actually difficult? I was amazed and stupefied by the game, and it arguably is the game that really got me truly and utterly hooked on off-beat JRPG's.
Years later, I actually bought my own copy from a Gamestop, and to this day I consider it one of my favorite GB games of all time.
And it's being remade. For DS.
Glorious. Don't fuck this up, Square.

SaGa games kick ass-- even their (possibly retarded) cousin Unlimited Saga is pretty great. Then again, I realize I might be the only person on the planet who honestly believes that.
I hope they get up to the SNES ones. I've NOT played them using an emulator, and would really like to check them out in proper translation
I like the artstyle they chose, but i'm a little disappointed they're making it in 3d. I'm interested to see how a character uses the "Tank" weapon though. I've always pictured the character leaping into the air and then a tank falls down with him/her in it which disappears at the end of the round.
Also, is that girl in the pink outfit suppose to be the female mutant!? ARGH, WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO MY MUTANTS, WHY DO THEY LOOK LIKE ELVES!? Where's the crown on the females, and the half scar head of the males?
I want, but I'm worried that square is going to continue its recent trend of "fucking up".
Oh, and this is completely unrelated, but I must give a thumbs up to your Yggdra header image.
I will definately pick this up as me and my sis damn near fell in love with Saga Frontier 1...and I robbed it from her just so I can finish all the other stories that isn't Red.
In the GB version of the game, you gained HP randomly, but they'll probably update that to "If you take damage" which is what the other SaGa games used.
I loved the remake they did of Romancing SaGa on the PS2, and I do OWN a copy of Unlimited SaGa, but still haven't exactly figured out what's going on there. I remember spending a lot of time making up different parties of humans, mutants, and robots, and just wandering around and questing about.
Also, the battle music was catchy as hell.
Now hopefully SaGa 3 gets remade as well.
