SaGa Frontier

SaGa Frontier is a Sony PlayStation console role-playing game by Squaresoft (now Square Enix), released in Japan on July 17, 1997 and in North America on April 1, 1998. It is the first SaGa game to be released in North America since SaGa 3 (Final Fantasy Legend III). The second three games, the Romancing SaGa trilogy, were marketed exclusively in Japan.

The basic concept of the game is that one can play as any of seven different characters, all of whom exist in the same setting: a solar system known as 'The Regions' with each Region being a planet with its own culture, level of technology, and form of magic. Travel between most of the Regions is easy due to inter-regional ships traveling regularly between them. In addition to human beings, three other races are dominant in The Regions: The Mystics (vampires), the Monsters (shapeshifters) and the Mechs (robots.} Each character has a quest to fulfill, but there are also several optional quests that any of the characters can participate in. Some of the main characters even encounter each other during their quests. Fulfilling all 7 main quests allows the player access to a secret part of the game.
