Localization Restoration Mod – version 1.0 released!

I have created a mod that restores various aspects of the original localization of this game with some help from Haledire, the scripting mastermind, and Sevon, the translation genius (and also the guy who translated The Essence of SaGa Frontier). This includes things like item names, attack names, locations, and other miscellaneous things like BUCCI. This patch also fixes the combo system’s names to be in its true form (e.g. Hymn Heaven and Earth is now displayed as SacredHell) and fixes some typos the new localization team made.

To install this patch, simply download the .zip file from the link at the end of this post and follow what the README says. If you have any issues with installing or using this mod, please reach out to me or Haledire either directly or through the Modern SaGa Modding Discord server, which will also be linked at the end of this post.

I worked super hard on getting everything just right and Haledire worked extra hard on getting a nice installation script written, so I’d greatly appreciate it if you also gave this mod a share on other platforms.

I “remastered” the first SaGa Frontier trailer!

I redid the first trailer shown for SaGa Frontier! I think it turned out really good, despite my difficulties with getting Soundtrap to do the music properly. Anyway, go watch it:

Also there’s a Soundcloud link in the video description.

Added a new translated page: SF1 – Damage Calculations

This page goes over some damage calculations for SaGa Frontier 1. It’s not quite as in-depth as Zaraktheus’ Data/Mechanics Guide, but it does offer some formulas that he didn’t document. You can find the page here:

SaGa Frontier – Damage Calculations

I remixed Blue’s final boss theme!

Many thanks to SkankinGarbage for helping out with this. This song wouldn’t be half as good without his advice. I’m really proud of how it turned out. Now to see if ItoKen will like it…

I got a decent Red PB now; 1:20:02!!!

Was a decent run except I got stuck with Smash and KaiserWing of all the fucking things headed into solo Shuzer, which forced me to go get the VitalityRune. Dodges were also not nice to me, but hey at least I only got +16 encounters instead of +17. Anyway go watch the run it’s cool:
