All I'm seeing for TLR is the last remnant, is that what you are talking about?

Touhou Soujinengi V: The Genius of Sappherios, the best JRPG on Switch exists thanks to SaGa, so I'll always be thankful to Kawazu.

Yeah.

Story in Unlimited follows the Romancing model of different MCs with their self contained scenarios sharing the same world and setting.
You have your MC's story and the world lore being more or less a separate thing, each MC meets with another MCs or characters that appear in other MCs' stories with the exception of Ruby's scenario, which is the lore rich scenario and the only one where you get to play as Iskandar.
To give you a general idea:
>Vent
Mostly self contained personal story, ties into Mythe's story a bit and deals with dragons and the undeads.
>Laura
Mostly self contained, deals with the political intrigue regarding the fall of Escata and the royal family, only scenario where you get all the elemental tribes reps too.
>Ruby
Mostly main lore related, focused on the Seven Wonders and the main "big bad" of the story, also the only scenario where you get to know Iskandar
>Judy
Almost completely self contained, cute story, you get some interesting lore snippets about the nature of magic tablets and the ultimate magic, only scenario where you get to play with all of Judy's family members
>Kurt/Cash
Completely self contained, ties a bit into Michelle's own story and the mystery of the gauntlet, fairly character driven.
>Armic
Completely self contained, expands on the Chapa tribe and the last of the three big dick magicians in the game, Yun Crimsonrain
>Mythe
Almost completely self contained, has a bit of everything from other stories, female only party gimmick, deals a bit with Iskandar and the arcanians near the tail end of the story.
TLR is an unofficial SaGa game.

TLR is fucking great. You should play SaGa Frontier 2 if you haven't already.

I started Romancing 3 recently, jsut to see how it plays. I have no intentions of playing it until I've finished RE3 and FF7 and I'll probably restart the game. (it's not like I will lose something important; only played it for 2 hours)
My stupid question is, when I finally get the ship, and that's pretty much 1 hour into the game, can I go into towns in any order and do side quests for my (new) party member as long as I want, or do I NEED to follow the specific route? Sorry for stupid question. TLR and RS2 also had that ''thing'' - you go from location A to location B, talk to people, they tell you about location C and even though you wanted to go back to location A you go to C etc.

>can I go into towns in any order and do side quests for my (new) party member as long as I want
As long as you have the money to get there, sure, once you get to Pidona you're free to go anywhere in that list as long as you can pay the ticket, there's no "secret" location that you cannot access.

Never knew they were connected. I had always considered playing tlr though I see it got delisted because of a remaster that didn't come to pc because whatever reason. If I can find the original is that fine or does the remaster do anything important?

Also reminds me of seiken densetsu 3s approach to characters a little. The game just finished downloading so im going to open it up on the other screen

>I'm downloading Unlimited Saga after an user suggested it
lol, trolled

The remaster fucks up a couple of mechanics and makes them worse, get a torrent of the PC version.
>Also reminds me of seiken densetsu 3s approach to characters a little
That's because SD3 was inspired by SaGa on that and they're more or less sister series due to the directors being close friends.
SD and SaGa also often shared key staff and have cameos or references to each other, SaGa Frontier for instance has Rabites while Legend of Mana uses several SaGa techs and it has cross save contents with SaGa Frontier 2.

Thats pretty cool. If I really like unlimited will it ruin the earlier games in the series for me?
