I was too annoyed with the final boss to go to bed so I beat the game instead. Now I'm gonna be tired and grumpy tomorrow at work, but if my coworkers say anything I'll just tell them that I beat the Destroyer with an underdeveloped team so they better watch it.

I've had a cold the last few days and put a ton of hours into Romancing SaGa 3 since I wasn't up for much else. It has all of the SaGa vagueness in terms of quest direction and game mechanics, but doesn't have the x-factor that other SaGa games have for me. The art style and music are very nice, and it has the 16-bit JRPG classic charm, but I need some weirder progression mechanics or a kingdom to develop or an excellent/unique combat system or just anything else. I'll finish it, but I doubt it'll stick with me like the other games in the series.

I really hate grinding and was getting my ass handed to me midway through, in typical SaGa fashion. So I learned about better ways to spark techs, and did a TON of grinding. Easily plowed though the rest of the game.

Never have I felt so over prepared and then been so thoroughly routed by a last boss. Yikes.

Is it me or did Romancing Saga 3 get the standard terrible Square Enix port treatment?

I imagine that they have made choices to update things like dialogue boxes in an effort to increase readibility, but is there not a way to do this that is also aesthetically pleasing? Who thought the following looked good, or even fits the aesthetic …
