I’d be doing everyone a disservice if I sat here and said that Emerald Beyond was for everyone. It isn’t. It isn’t even close to everyone. It’s a JRPG made for the most hardcore, veteran JRPG fans. Specifically, it has been designed for a very specific kind of JRPG fan who, firstly, loves things that are genuinely different. Secondly, its for JRPG fans that like complex, textured and nuanced combat systems that reward people who are willing to tinker and learn them, and punish those who don’t. For a niche within a niche within a niche, SaGa Emerald Beyond is the kind of game that the new, “improved” blockbuster Square Enix hates, but if this really is the end of this series, at least it’s gone out having delivered the full promise of what SaGa has always stood for.
This is a game that wants you to tinker and fail, before you “get it”. It’s also a game explicitly designed to be different every time you pick it up. With its disregard for convention and disinterest in “quality of life” guidelines, you could have a rough start. But there’s so much going on under the hood, so much charm in its presentation and fearlessness in its design, it’s easy to recommend even to folks who might be looking at me like a weirdo right now. SaGa Emerald Beyond comes with caveats like any other JRPG that isn’t the usual Final Fantasy or Persona blockbuster, but those caveats are in service of an experience you won’t find anywhere else.

シナリオの分岐が多く、自分だけの物語が作れます。カードゲームやボードゲームのように戦略性の高いバトルで繰り返しやっても飽きが来ません。ビジュアル面には難がありますが、ゲーム好きにはオススメです。

SaGa Emerald Beyond is a wonderful RPG for anyone who loves experiencing multiple worlds and stories while partaking in incredibly gratifying encounters against imaginative enemies. This is the sort of game that we need more of.
SaGa: Emerald Beyond is easily one of the most accessible and easy-to-play SaGa games ever released, making it a solid evolution over SaGa: Scarlet Graces with an improved combat system and more focused area design. At heart, it's still a SaGa game, and that means it is frequently obscure, often confusing, and is unashamed of making you miss content without explaining why. Combine that with the low-budget visuals, and it seems like it's destined to be a love-it-or-hate-it game. Despite that, if you're curious about SaGa, Emerald Beyond is probably the best place to start to see if the eccentric series is right for you.
SaGa remains on its own. We are facing a different, peculiar work that is clearly not intended for all audiences, despite the fact that it is the one that probably best knows how to welcome players who have never enjoyed this franchise. It is a shame that it reaches the market without a Spanish translation that would have made it even easier to understand some of its mechanics, but otherwise, it is one of those titles that is worth enjoying, given that its virtues far outweigh its shortcomings. . Of course, you have to appreciate it for what it is: a different way of approaching the genre and not as a traditional JRPG.
This is a JRPG where each new game will not be the same, due to the plot that involves 6 characters. The combat system is demanding but fun. Graphically it feels outdated, but the soundtrack makes up for it. Recommended for lovers of the SaGa franchise and role-playing games.
Square Enix’s addition to the SaGa series is a bit of a mixed bag. On one hand, you’ve got its storytelling and exploration mechanics—both of which feel strangely placed, and neither of which gives the proper amount of freedom that you’d expect from a SaGa title. Its masterful approach to combat, however, ensures that you’ll never have a dull moment when it comes to duking it out with the baddies—or even when setting up your own team! SaGa Emerald Beyond isn’t “middle-of-the-road” by any means. It’s a mixture of good and not-so-good. However, as long as you go into things knowing that, you’ll probably still have a pretty good time.
自分の選択が幾多の未来へと分かれていくゲームです。小さなイベントもどれから践むかで次の展開が変わります。
このゲームに少しだけ触れて一本道だと思っているユーザーの声は信じるに値しません。
見た目に騙されること無く、是非自分だけの物語に浸って下さい。

The new Saga game is unfortunately a disappointment.
The enemies were largely taken from the game Scarlet Grace and so far they offer even less variety. However, after 3 playthroughs out of a total of 5 with different characters, I also noticed that there are no special bosses anymore, and when you face one of the stronger opponents, unfortunately it is only one that has already been seen several times. It repeats itself Everything happens too often and you notice more and more that Square Enix is simply putting too little budget into what is actually a great series. It's a big step back from what has always made the series so great.
Endgame? Nothing to see so far and according to the trophies there are no more special enemies coming. The two trophies for the strongest enemies in the game are for the 2 final boss phases, which unfortunately turned out to be very **** combat system is fun, but even in the older Saga games I enjoyed it a lot more, and the innovations aren't enough.
I doubt that some of the reviewers have even played through the **** hope of a turn-based masterpiece from Square Enix is now dying even more, especially if they no longer value polishing such turn-based games to a high shine.
Next will probably be a saga game with action combat, so that today's generation is satisfied and happy with mediocre game mechanics that don't even require them to use a brain cell.

Cheap mobile shovelware that costs £50,I don't know how this game is getting good reviews. The graphics are horrendous and so is the game play. You mindlessly run to different points, just follow the green line and either get into really boring dialogue or a really boring battle. That's it, there is no exploration. Save your money, this game isn't worth it. It's crazy to see how Square has let there quality drop to low nowadays, they used to be awesome. Now we get this low effort shovelware.

Cannot move around in the city or in the dungeon.
Poorly paced and unbalanced combat.
Unattractive characters.
