Unlimited Saga - wtf in the world is this game

[Don Flamenco]

Game SystemEdit

Unlimited Saga was highly experimental and featured a lot of concepts and idea which seemed new even to fans of the SaGa series, moreso to people who never had connection with other titles.

   - LP - The Life Point system returns once again, however in this case it's even more important than in other SaGa games.
   - Growth Panel - A character developement system where the character would gain 1 new panel after each quest. Panels allow characters to use weapons, perform actions in dungeons or buy, sell & craft items.
   - Reel System - During battle the level and strength of a command you'd use would be determined by a roulette style machine. Performing certain actions in dungeons also requires the Reel.
   - Board game - Navigation in fields and dungeons, the character is represented by a silver figure able to move on the map, field by field, turn by turn.
   - Blacksmith - The ability to create, repair and modify a character's equipment in certain towns.
   - Arts & Spells - The attacks you can use in battle. Stronger Arts are unlocked by using others repeatedly in battle.
   - Carrier System - A unique gameplay element for Ventus only, offering an infinite number of quests delivering objects from one city to another.

This game sounds really weird.  anyone here play it?   is the reel system just the normal RNG that usually determines the attributes of an attack or what?  Why does the game tell you that the character who is tough to beat the game with is the best for beginners? 

I'm intrigued by how confusing the game sounds, never played it though.  I almost blind bought it at electronics boutique years ago and the clerk talked me out of it.  He's like "do you know what this is?  You don't want this if you're just looking for an average JRPG."

Saga series has always been a little off the beaten path of RPG mechanics, Unlimited Saga drives itself right off a cliff.

Similar to The Last Remnant, expect to spend a few hours reading guides and wikis to get the slightest idea of how things work.

THIS IS THE FIRST GAME I WORKED ON when I got hired at Square.

I was so very, very confused. I still am.

whoa    

I think I should just go into it blind on what little I know.  Just make a time commitment like 10 hours I have to put into the game, to try and make sense of it.
