- Welcome to my review of the Switch port for Romancing SaGa 3. I'll be taking a look at the quality of the port as well as giving my impressions of early and mid-game.
![[Full Episode] MasterChef Junior Thailand มาสเตอร์เชฟ จูเนียร์ ประเทศไทย Season 3 Episode 9](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Jsjwpd_ER8g/mqdefault.jpg)
I love this game. Such an underrated gem.
Definitely! I feel like the franchise as a whole is pretty underrated. So glad they finally brought this over!
Sounds and looks like a wonderful RPG! Your review is great, you gave pros and cons as well as weighed them with examples and visuals.
Thanks for checking it out! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great review Matrik. As for those stationary enemies, some of them are insane strong for early levels characters, but they are also incredibly useful for sparking new techs. You can, save, engage on a battle with that ogre, learn some cool abilities, flee and repeat. Triangularity at it's best on this game design.
Glad you enjoyed the review!
I hadn't thought about using the stronger enemies to learn new abilities and running away. That's a nice trick, thanks!
Purchased this because of your excellent review! I am an old school JRPG fan who grew up playing the SNES. If you like old school Final Fantasy 16 bit style games then this is perfect for you. Now I need a remake of Illusion of Gaia and my iOS JRPG collection will be near perfect.
I'm so glad you liked the review! I would absolutely love a remake of Illusion of Gaia since I never owned the game growing up and ended up renting it and beating it over a long weekend.
Your face when you got owned holding the shield!! Hilarious!!! LMAO Great Review Matrik!
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
"What's happening?" + "Oh crap" = that face XD
Great review! Thank you so for making it. Saw it on sale for 70% off. Your review help made purchase decision.
I'm glad you enjoyed the review and I hope you like RS3! I just picked up the mobile version and I'm having a great time playing through it again, even if the controls are imprecise at times.
Thanks for the nice review! I've been wanting to see what the game was about and I feel like I got a good sense after watching this.
Glad you enjoyed the review! If you end up getting the game you'll have to let me know how you liked it
As a fan of the shining force RPG series I can say this looks like a fun RPG game to play. I might buy this.
If you enjoy older RPG's this is definitely worth a look! I'm a little sad I missed out on Shining Force, never owning a Sega console and all, but they are on my bucket list
@@MatrikOnStage I played them on the ps3 as part of a sega collection. The collection has a lot of awesome games.
It's worth playing but nearly nothing like Shining Force aside from having fantastical creatures playable.
I'm playing Shining Force 3 games on Sega Saturn
such a pretty remaster and it's available physically in chn/eng version. Can't wait!
They really did a great job with the remaster. Glad to hear there's a physical option as well. Hope you enjoy!
@@MatrikOnStage - I just wished it was available for the Western market as I like my collection to be consistent. However, finally got the Import.
Not sure why Square-Enix does not localize more of their Nintendo Switch games. Very frustrating!!
This is breathtakingly beautiful
I'm just getting this soon hope its good it'll be my first time playing
Hope you enjoy! I just finished my 3rd playthrough a few weeks ago. You'll have to let me know which character you play as first
@@MatrikOnStage monika us my first still in the start areas any tips with monika
@@Abysslover91 Nothing major for the beginning. I would say it's best to decide what each character is going to do early (easier said than done). I like using Monika as a support caster, but depending on the options you selected for her class (star) and main weapon she can also do decent physical damage.
If you get stuck this is an amazing resource:

@@MatrikOnStage I'm at the underwAter palace now I kept monika at physical she's not bad I also have Ward Robin Tomas and Undine undine is awesome she's my main mage poor Tomas may replace him soon thank you for the advice :)
Awesome review. Was curious about this game .
Also subscribed to your channel so look forward to awesome content like this
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. If you pick the game up you'll have to let me know how you liked it.
As for what's coming up, I'm frantically working my way through Xenoblade Chronicles to get a review out for that!
@@MatrikOnStage that's epic man. Super jealous. Wanna get Xenoblade but will have to wait. Romancing Saga 3 (multilingual version) is on sale on Playasia so took the cheaper game lol
Really good review! Might have to check this out
Glad you enjoyed it!
This looks fun! I love games that have multiple characters to pick from like Octopath Traveler
Being able to see the story through 8 different perspectives was definitely a huge selling point for me too
Thank you SO much for the review! I’ve been waiting for one, and stumbled on it and now subscribed to the channel! I’m a huge fan of saga frontier, I’ll admit I never played a romancing saga, but love classic RPGs like Lunar the Silver Story etc, do you think it’s worth giving it a shot?
Thank you! If you loved Saga Frontier and Lunar SS (great game btw), I think RS3 is definitely worth checking out. I think it's even on sale for the next week or so!
If you like SaGa Frontier, definitely get this game.
I played one of them on the vita I didnt like it at all
One of my favorites on the Super Famicom!
Definitely! I had a great time with this one. I was actually playing through it again before Story of Seasons came out
Great review!!! Hope to see more in the future. :)
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Reviews are something I've always wanted to do, so I'll definitely be doing more of these in the future!
So far it has been a great game, though the bosses have been more uncompromising than in Romancing SaGa 2. Though there really aren't ever tutorials in the series, and I don't expect there any in the future due to some interviews with Kawazu.
Yea I read an interview before RS3 came out that they really want you to learn things on your own, which definitely works to the games credit more often than not.
Glad to hear you're enjoying the game so far!
Bosses are uncompromising? What does that mean?
can't stop playing this
Same. I'm having a lot more fun playing through all the different stories than I expected. Glad to hear you're enjoying it!
Is the switch version identical to the android version
Yes. It has the extra dungeon, New Game+, and updated graphics.
Great review. Thanks! :)
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
Liked, subscribed and buying a copy now.
Thanks! I've been working through the game again myself recently. Hope you enjoy!
Man I love the aesthetic of this game but unfortunately the deal breakers here are too much for me. If this franchise ever gets a reboot with modern game design sensibilities I'll be all over it
That's definitely fair. Depending on what bothered you it might be worth checking out the SaGa Frontier remaster. It's been updated to include a quest log that gives you a decent idea of what to do next and also provides much more detailed information when selecting equipment. It is more futuristic with guns and robots so if your primary interest in RS3 was the aesthetic then SF might not appeal to you.
Honestly the lack of tutorials or explanations isnt so much because it's an older game and that it's a SaGa game.
The series as a whole does not tell you about its mechanics or give you much guidance
I hope Square remasters Final Fantasy 1 through 6 for Switch.
I would love that! I haven't played FF5 in awhile and I'd love an excuse to go back and revisit it!
I'm playing the mobile game right now and 3 is on sale on Switch right now. I'm so unsure as to whether I should get it or not and I feel like I'm just gonna get it and hope I'm not wasting my money :/
I think if you liked older RPG's like FF6 and Chrono Trigger you'll probably like this one. The only thing I'll add is that RS3 gives you a lot less direction than FF6 or CT so finding your way around can be a bit more challenging.
Try Romancing Saga Re:Universe, it's a hidden gem of Mobile Game
I played it quite a bit when it first came out. I have a hard time with those types of games because once I miss a day or two logging in I have a hard time going back. I'd still argue it's one of the better gacha games out there and is pretty faithful to the spirit of the SaGa franchise.
Ocotopath Traveler was definitely inspired by this lol
I would think so. Octopath feels like FF gameplay with SaGa story telling.
@@MatrikOnStage facts, Only thing i don’t like about it right now is the way the bosses look. Clearly a mobile port 🤢 but i guess i can deal with it lol
SaGa Re:univerSe I Now On!
I played it a bit over the weekend. Pretty cool so far. Still trying to make an entire RS3 team lol
@@MatrikOnStage Yeap. Hope They Have Friend Codes Thing In Here, So I Can Add You.
To be honest, after seeing what they did to RS2 I expected more from it . At least they didnt made it worse as they did to other remasters. Now the pricing for their remasters being bad or good always felt overpriced. Hope they hit the point with Saga Frontier.
I haven't had a chance to play the RS2 remake yet, but if they added/fixed things from the original I could definitely see it being disappointing that RS3 didn't get the same treatment.
I'm kinda with you on the pricing too. I feel like Square always prices their remakes just slightly above the point where it's an easy recommendation.
The SaGa Frontier remake looks promising. I'm really psyched that Square is giving the franchise a lot more love in the west these days, even if it is mostly in the form of remakes/remasters.
@@MatrikOnStage They had more work to do on RS2 graphics and remade everything while original RS3 looks much better and they kind of just converted the spirtes to HD. Gameplay wise I've heared that they improved RS2 pacing.
For Saga Frontier I was hoping for a Remake instead . The game had alot of potential but got rushed to the end and still made much more success than expected. I will buy it anyway if its price is reasonable, love it and they are adding some content.
The only upside to a remaster over a remake is that it gives them fewer chances to screw something up. I think I would have preferred a remaster, largely because I don't think the backgrounds/maps of the PS1 era hold up very well and that's not something that can be easily fixed in a remaster, aside from making it look nicer. Really hoping they don't mess up with pricing.
I would not count mystic quest as a squaresoft made game. It was made by squaresoft usa, just like secret of evermore.
My copy just showed up today 😁
Awesome! I've been considering buying a physical copy for display purposes. Hope you enjoy!
Fortunately we can play them all now
Definitely happy to see a lot of these older RPG's getting some love these days
Do you need to play the 2nd in order to play the 3rd or are they complete different storys
Each game is a self-contained story, so you can play them out of order without missing out on anything. Hope that helps!
👍 great gonna buy it while on sale on eshop 👍
"Final Fantasy Mystic Quest"
::Rage intensifies::
Are you saying Mystic Quest is NOT better than FF 5? :p
@@MatrikOnStage Hey, when I was... I dunno, 12? Mystic Quest was AWESOME! I thought the battle music was better than FF2 (US SNES version, of course)! I mean, I later learned how wrong I was... but Mystic Quest still holds a little place in my heart. Very little. It's very proud of that privilege.
@@NemesisTomato I feel you. That was one of my first RPG's and I definitely played it quite a few times back in the day. The battle music was pretty great, and using weapons as tools outside of battle was neat back then. But I still won't let Square forget they gave us that over FF5 lol
I actually won my army vs army segment on the 1st try
I have a question: What exactly is carried over when you select New Game Plus? Are all the items and armour carried over?
Characters skill levels with weapons, WP, JP, all mastered combat skills, formations, money, and most items, weapons, and armor. There are a few plot related items and weapons that don't carry over, like a ring that allows you to progress further into a dungeon. HP also does not carry over, I think because it determines which side quests are available. Hope that helps!
@@MatrikOnStage Thanks for the reply, my copy arrived today. Thought I'd give it ago as it reminded me of the first six numbered Final Fantasy titles.
@@Mangomesh Hope you enjoy! The early FF games are some of my all time favorites
- I just wished it was available for the Western market as I like my collection to be consistent. However, finally got the Import.
Not sure why Square-Enix does not localize more of their Nintendo Switch games. Very frustrating!!
This or part 2 ?which is better?
I haven't played past the first couple hours of 2, but I enjoyed my time with RS3 quite a bit more
This is what I wanted to know. 2 looked charming to me, but I wasn’t really enjoying it and probably didn’t even get 2 hours in. 3 looks so much better. Although I am a little scared to dip my feet into it
@@c.a.honeycutt5046 Take this with a grain of salt because it's been years since I've played 2, but I found the gameplay to be a bit more refined in 3 compared to 2 but it is very similar. Also, the story in 3 pulled me in much more than 2.
If you liked 2 but thought it was a bit flat, I think 3 is definitely worth checking out. If you didn't care for the gameplay of 2, I don't think 3 plays differently enough to be able to recommend it. Hope that helps
WHY?!?
I'll admit it, I lol'd
I was a little worried that detail would go unnoticed, glad you enjoyed it!
And Treasure Hunter G...
I forgot Square had published that one. Would absolutely love an official english release.
Good, but inferior to RS2.
The whole sp and re recruiting fallen characters killed it for me, that's the dumbest idea ever and this game isnt worth 50 bucks physically
You can not review a massive rpg like this by just playing the first few scenarios. I dont care that you tried more characters, dont review a game if you dont know it. Especially a RPG
Is this your first Tim's on TH-cam. This is literally what every single game review is like unless it's the completionist. You can absolutely review a game based on your experience and give your thoughts, there is nothing wrong with that as long as they say that. No crime has been committed relax, I can give a very detailed review of Octopath Traveler even though I haven't completed all 8 characters story lines. I can give a good review of the Shining Force 3 even though I've only completed 2 of the 3 senerios. You dont have to include spoilers to make a review and include the entire story, to give a detailed description and your opinion on gameplay.
on the switch? guess there's no reason to play it's clone: Octopath Traveler
I think ocopath is better dog
@@redcrimson1028 I've been in love with the music to octopath. Thanks for letting me know how good it is. I will have to play it when I get a switch
