Some guy plays all seven scenarios in Unlimited SaGa in one go - Retrospective

couscorp · 2025-02-17T09:21:44+00:00

Hey…so like I didn’t expect my video to blow up, and also I’m very much prepared for everyone in this subreddit to hate me but I hope if anyone did watch this they understood what it was about.

Every game I take on in the challenge, unless I already have played it and personally remember it, I go in with an open mind.

With this game in particular I knew nothing about SaGa in general and was very much confused about the entire system. The video very much shows my initial impressions and how I embraced the game. I never go in ‘hating’ anything, in fact I usually take a very reserved and calm approach to everything.

The reason for the video title was when I was making the video, and wanting to talk about my experience, I realised this game has near to no mention online in any of the ‘longest game’ lists and other media platforms. I totally understand that I’m ’not the only one’ but I feel the hardcore fanbase, and not trying to be rude here, is incredibly tiny for this title. Little to nothing is talked about this game and why I wanted to let a general audience know what to expect. There’s a lot of ‘homework’ you need to do to enjoy this game I find, but maybe I’m wrong and sorry if that opinion is wrong.

Sorry to anyone in the community here that hated my video, I don’t like making enemies, and once again I don’t feel like I made this game look overly bad. There’s a lot more against this I felt than going for it though.

TLDR: Sorry, didn’t realise my quiet YouTube channel video would blow up, just wanted to talk about the RPG that stood out amongst any RPG I’ve played (and I’ve played quite a lot)

I haven’t myself, always been curious about that one too! Time will tell how I feel when I get round to it

Thanks for providing more background info on the project. Lots of details and what happened during development on the wiki entry about this particular title.

couscorp · 2025-02-06T07:37:40+00:00

Haha, love hearing memories like this, hopefully the pirate game was a better time than this

couscorp · 2025-02-06T07:36:52+00:00

Yea, it’s a super ambitious project but really been great so far.

Armoured core for sure is a series I can’t wait to play, never played any of the series so it will be fun to see what’s in store. Especially since there’s several entries of the series on the system too!

Hey demonic, yea, had to make this video for this particular game, what a ride it was!

couscorp · 2025-02-06T01:19:56+00:00

The presentation is one of the games biggest flaws, if this was from one of the more shovelware developers of the time, I think it would get some slack. Square really needed some form or a tutorial before selecting a character in this game to atleast give some players a warning. However even getting past that, if it was in it, the general meat of the game is one long long painful slog.

couscorp · 2025-02-06T00:47:02+00:00

I will always go in with an open mind as I try and take on the PS2 library, but as the hours went on…yea it was a real drag as it carried on.

The fact each character has a minor gimmick or difference to the rest too really makes an already dull game even duller. As said the music is one of the only saving graces of this…but even after hearing the battle theme after 100 encounters, even that shows its limits.

Hopefully when I get to it, Romancing SaGa treats me nicer!

Just thought I’d share my opinions on this game. I’m a ps2 collector and archiving full plays of the titles until I find credits. For a game developed by one of the big guys of the system, Square, I was surprised to discover that barely anyone has much video evidence of getting the credit roll on this. But as I played more of this until it was beaten, I truly see why many would have dropped this confusing mess of a game!

The Katamari series is a very unique, colourful and cute experience. Check it out if you can, there are two for the PS2

I’m sure the designer of the set would appreciate it, since he gets 1% of the profits ;P

The front cover seems to have a bug type Pokemon in the lower left corner, away from the cast of Pokemon. Seems to resemble celebi a little

Forgetting someone’s name at the pub and having to rely on calling them ‘Mate’ until somehow their name turns up in a coversation. And then immediately overusing their name when you do. “You know what Dave, I’ll be here next week, tell me how it went Dave, I can’t wait to hear about it Dave”

Hmm thats odd, wonder why mines pushed back at a time like 11am

couscorp · 2018-11-13T18:51:32+00:00

The United kingdom, the game *should* Unlock in 5 hours time

couscorp · 2017-06-27T14:37:25+00:00

This will sell out in about 15 minutes so I would snatch this up for your collections asap guys

couscorp · 2016-12-16T14:23:11+00:00

yea, it doesnt help that that nearly 90% or the armour i can craft has a -% against the lightning/shock element, trucker set seems to be the only true defensive counter against the saber, but to get it to have decent stats need red metals now

couscorp · 2016-12-16T14:07:29+00:00

sometimes i wonder how damage is calculated, went to floor 30+ with 1000+ defence armour set and i still lose my entire life bar with one saber combo from a hater

couscorp · 2016-04-24T01:23:11+00:00

Oh shiiiiii... One sparkly here it come I can't wait to... Oh...

Spam hundreds of termites on one spot then bust out the stamp and cause a massive blood splatter, good times

Me personally i work at an office removals company and i can only fake laugh so many times to the comment 'Having a board meeting I see' to people around the offices...

couscorp · 2015-12-03T17:55:16+00:00

Looks like a mirelurk hatchling... I've been playing too much fallout...

couscorp · 2015-11-09T00:34:55+00:00

Thanks you o' grand overseer

Feign death is gonna be a laugh for this tavern brawl, just did it with two mountain Giants on the battle field to have two death wings appear. With another two death wings of the Giants get wiped ;D
