SaGa series creator Akitoshi Kawazu has teased a remastered version of SaGa Frontier 2.

Kawazu appeared in a video message during the 40th official Romancing SaGa Re;univerSe broadcast on April 1 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of SaGa Frontier 2‘s release with new content for the mobile game, and while he was clear that this was not a remaster announcement, he did tease one is coming.

“However, this is not a remaster announcement, so please wait a little longer for that,” Kawazu said. “Honestly though, you won’t be disappointed if you wait, so you can rest assured. Please be patient.”

Back in October 2023, Saga Frontier 2 character designer Tomomi Kobayashi mentioned a SaGa Frontier 2 re-release in 2024 in a blog post—although that mention was eventually removed.

Thanks, Famitsu.

Btw, someone from the SaGa subreddit went through the gorgeous backgrounds from SaGa Frontier 2 and upscaled / reassembled them. The final result is great imo and hopefully the HD remaster will be just as good.

Hell yeah, I brought the original on PS1 day 1, that gorgeous watercolour art was everything. Game was quite the departure from Saga Frontier but I love them both, this will be an instabuy

I hope this happens but I dont have it in me to play it again just to end up at a glitched out final boss that I won't be able to kill.

My favorite SaGa game. That Hamauzu music with interweaving motifs, those watercolor painting backgrounds. I remember reading lore in the instruction manual where one of the types of magic (tone) was newly discovered in the world and therefore did not have a lot of practical use yet and thinking that was a cool touch.
I could never beat the final boss, I tried grinding for a dozen hours only to find out online it scales to (and over) your level.

The artstyle is still timeless, just like LoM, full of wonder <3

It's weird I was under leveled when I fought him but despite killing a couple of the sub bosses that are supposed to lower his health I would do 2 million damage over his highest potential max health and he still wouldn't go down. It's the only time I ever gave up and just gamesharked my way through.
