설명

The latest standalone entry in the SaGa franchise, SaGa Emerald Beyond, brings together the very best elements of the beloved series to offer each player their own unique gameplay experience.

Make use of glimmers and combos in battle; meet a diverse cast of races, including monsters, mechs, and vampires; and experience your very own story, created through your choices and actions.

Distant Worlds Woven Together:
Travel to 17 unique worlds from the Junction, either led by the hand of destiny or by a path forged by your own choices.
Discover the completely different cultures and landscapes, ranging from a densely developed forest of skyscrapers and a green and luscious habitat covered in plant life to a world governed by five witches, or one ruled by vampires - just to name a few of the distinct settings.

An Eclectic Cast of Protagonists:
Six leading characters, all from diverse backgrounds and with vastly different goals, set out on their journey in five unique story arcs.
They venture to the myriad of worlds for their very own personal reasons: One, a human on a mission to protect the barrier defending his city; another, a witch trying to regain her lost magic while maintaining her disguise as a schoolgirl; and yet another, a vampire lord out to regain his crown and reclaim the throne as the rightful king of his world.
Even selecting the same protagonist for a second--or third or fourth--playthrough will lead to completely new events and stories, a completely fresh path and experience.

A Story of Your Very Own Making:
SaGa Emerald Beyond has the greatest number of branching plots of any game in the SaGa series.
The story branches abundantly depending on your choices and actions. Every time you visit a world, the story will evolve, allowing the protagonist and player alike to discover new possibilities.
As the story unfolds in this way it becomes a tale all of your own, not only affecting the path you walk but also the multiple potential endings that await each protagonist.

Battles where a Single Choice Can Change Everything:
SaGa Emerald Beyond further refines the highly strategic Timeline Battles the SaGa franchise has been long renowned for. With series mainstays such as the skill to spontaneously acquire abilities through the Glimmer system, tactical ally placement known as Formations, and United Attacks that enable individual skills to connect together to form devastating chain attacks, it offers the best iteration of SaGa's turn-based combat to date.

The new combat system adds more drama than ever before, allowing you to support party members, interrupt enemy actions, and use United Attacks by strategically manipulating the order of ally actions.

The characters that join you, the weapons you wield, your party formation, and your tactics in battle - everything is up to you!

Endless JRPG Fun!

I’ve played a couple Saga games before, but tried this demo and fell in love with its absurd characters and situations, its amazing battle system, and the beautifully eclectic soundtrack. This game feels like watching a cozy Saturday morning cartoon when I was a kid. The fact that there are 5 interwoven stories with 6 main characters and a lot of supporting characters makes it such a deep experience. And then each time you replay a character’s story, different things happen and even more opens up! I have only played through 2 stories so far, and haven’t even come close to seeing all 17 worlds. Saga Emerald Beyond makes it easy to pick up and play a few minutes at a time or a few hours. You can save anywhere and reload from anywhere you’ve saved. I’m currently grinding a boss that defeats me a lot just to reap some good gear. I didn’t think I would enjoy it much, but it’s become one of my favorite games ever! Picked it up on Switch now too but love playing on my iPhone way more.

I tried so hard to like this

I tried so hard to like this game. I played Saga Scarlet Grace and loved it. Once I learned that the Last Remnant was a secret Saga game, I loved it even more. This game is really hard. I know Saga games are supposed to be quirky and there are multiple ways to do anything, but only a few battles in with any character, regular enemies are impossible. It’s just not fun. It seems like the only way to beat enemies is the strategy of becoming stronger than your enemies. If you’ve played a Saga game before, you know that this is easier said than done. There’s no way to get stronger and beat opponents early on, so you’re stuck in a corner early on, getting beat by starting opponents only hours into the game. It makes me all the more angrier that the game cost $50 and it stutters like crazy between simple actions. I feel like I wasted my money. At first I thought I could ignore the performance issues, then I discovered how unfun this game is and I gave up. A few months after I got this game, for some reason I refused to delete it and just offloaded it. Maybe it was because I didn’t want to feel like I wasted $50. Every now and again, I’ll redownload it, thinking maybe I could get into it. I only ever last one battle, where I barely survive, before I offload it again.

Edit: I also have an iPhone 15 plus, so there’s no reason for such poor performance.
