Half-human/half-mystic – Asellus is the only character who belongs in this category in SaGa Frontier Remastered.There’s also a chance for them to absorb the abilities of mech-type enemies. Plus, you can give them circuit boards that provide extra effects (i.e., gaining an extra skill slot). Mechs – These robots are also straightforward in that they can equip almost any gear piece out there (even stacking bonuses).This is just the gist but, to be frank, this system is a lot more complicated (i.e., checking for monster ability “body parts” and whatnot, and that’s going to be information overload for newcomers). This can be used to great effect, such as transforming into a Kraken by having “Ink,” “Maelstrom,” “Feeler,” and/or “Mighty Cyclone.” Just remember that there’s an overlap when it comes to mobs having similar abilities, so you wouldn’t necessarily need to farm the same enemy over and over just to turn into it. They can also transform into a particular monster. Monsters – These characters can absorb the abilities of various mobs you defeat.Lastly, they can’t learn weapon skills like humans. If successful, you’ll “absorb” that foe to gain an ability as well as stat boosts (i.e., the Dullahan in the Bio Research Lab provides great stat boosts). However, they have abilities called “Faeblade/Mystic Sword,” “Mystic Gloves,” and “Mystic Boots.” You’ll want to use these against mobs once they’re a bit low on health. Mystics – They can only increase HP, WP, JP, and CHA (charisma) normally after a fight.They tend to be the most versatile of the bunch. Humans – Have straightforward stat growth depending on the actions you take during battles.You’ll want to keep in mind that the game’s four (er, five) races differ in how they level up and acquire skills: The ideal grinding locations are usually the Swamp in Yorkland and the Bio Research Lab in Shrike (these tend to have slightly higher enemy ranks). As such, you can expect old locations to have newer and stronger hostiles once you revisit them. Enemies scale depending on how much you’ve leveled up.

Note 2: SaGa Frontier Remastered still uses the “enemy rank” system. However, as long as your action is queued (i.e., you chose to use a weapon skill or a magic spell), that’s still taken into consideration for any stat gains. But, because that person has low MOB/mobility, they might not be able to unleash a spell before the rest of the team pummels all the enemies. For instance, let’s say you want to increase a caster’s JP. Note 1: Characters can still have stat boosts as long as they “attempt” an action. Other stats include STR, INT, WIL, and the like. Meanwhile, WP and JP tend to increase whenever you use guns/weapon skills or magic spells respectively. For instance, HP tends to increase normally every other fight you finish. Instead, you increase the stats of your characters depending on the actions you do in battle. There’s no EXP bar that you need to fill, followed by a bright light signifying that you’ve leveled up. SaGa Frontier Remastered retains the core concepts of the original when it comes to leveling (it’s definitely not something you’re used to in the traditional sense). You can replenish JP by resting at an inn or drinking mage beverages. JP (jutsu points) – Think of JP as your “mana” for magic spells.You can replenish WP by resting at an inn. WP (weapon/waza points) – Think of WP as your “mana” for weapon skills.However, if your main character loses all their LP, it’s a game over and you need to reload your save.

If a supporting character loses all their LP during battle, they’re considered “dead” and no healing spell or item can bring them back (you’ll need to rest at an inn).


LP (life points) – A character loses LP if they’re downed any damage done to them while downed causes them to lose more LP.At the end of battles, though, HP is fully replenished. Healing spells and items restore HP and bring back downed characters during battles. HP (health points) – Self-explanatory you lose all of these, you die.SaGa Frontier Remastered has the following attributes for you to take note of: So, how exactly do we build our characters in SaGa Frontier Remastered?
