Square Enix's Akitoshi Kawazu, director of the SaGa series, says he doesn't want to go back to Final Fantasy. He hopes to bring more SaGa games to the West. And, believe it or not, that jarring ending to Blue's campaign in SaGa Frontier was totally intentional.
Over the past few years, there have been many complaints about video game endings -- that they're rushed, that they're unsatisfying, that it feels like the developers spent more time on other parts of the game (usually true). But no unfinished ending holds a candle to Saga Frontier.
Check out the trailer for Imperial SaGa, the newest game in Square Enix's SaGa series, now with English. Yes, English!
I have a confession to make: I didn't play SaGa Frontier this week. I know, I know. I'm terrible. But over the past couple of weeks I've been playing through Final Fantasy VI in hopes of reviewing it on Kotaku -- because we only cover the newest and hottest games -- and then I got a review copy of Danganronpa 2, and now everything's just all over the place.
Briefly: A Square Enix mobile developer has recently talked to Famitsu about a pair of new SaGa and Mana games that will "stay true to all and PlayStation era". The developer also mentioned that Square Enix's second mobile division would be "helping out" with the games.
