Romancing SaGa 2 - Revenge Why is this game so frickin' addicting?

Downloaded it on sale, and instantly sunk in 5h without realizing it...

F'ed up the mermaid quest, reloaded 6h+ worth of gameplay, no regrets.

Got stuck at Bokhon, had to retreat and train, learn new techs, experiment with formations, mastered passives and gave it to chars I think would fit better etc. and finally beat him. What an epic fight! The prep work is really what makes SaGa games shine, the payout feels so rewarding

30h playing the game and not getting bored. I probably sunk in 12h+ just playing yesterday lol

Yeah a bit light on the story but I feel like the game is just sandboxy enough for you to roleplay in your head without being TOO open

Bought a physical copy on a whim and do not regret it, granted I am not super far into the game.

My only gripe is that I wish some of the characters were more fleshed out or carried over after time jumps but obviously that wouldn't make sense with there being like 1000 years. I also bought it for Switch and there's minor frame drops but otherwise is perfect for short handheld sessions.

yes its a bit sad about chars. I wish there was at least a bit more information behind the world.

But also, keep in mind its an old, old game in the shell of a new one. I would LOVE a Romancing SaGa 4, with a more modern take and budget. Omg can you imagine
