Romancing SaGa (Minstrel Song)

A little over a week ago, I finally got Romancing SaGa for the PS2 which is remake of the "Super Famicom" game. A game never released here for the Snes. All I can say is this version is much better than the original. I don't mean just because of graphics or the fact it's in a language I can understand. Everything is better. Well except for the lack of Natalie. What really stands out is the battle system. It's a lot more defined and involved than the original battle system. The original battle system was manageable yes, but honestly wasn't that great. I love the BP system because it makes defend and using weaker attacks a very useful strategy over all. I've completed Aisha's quest and I'm currently working on Hawke's quest. I plan to try to do things a bit differently because it would be boring to do everything the same way each time. I'm looking forard to some characters more than others. I sort of am thinking of saving Claudia for last. Since she other than Aisha is the quest I really want to play. What can I say? Aisha is cute and Claudia is pretty. So I guess maybe Aisha, Hawke, Sif (To get her over with), Albert, Jamil, Barbara, Gray and Claudia maybe. I'm not sure yet, but Hawke is definitely second. In terms of characters so far I love Myriam the most with Farah a close second. Although I'm trying to vary my party a bit. So I plan to use a completely different party for Hawke. Hawke, Silver, Diana, Guella=Ha and another main, but not Barbara since I used her for Aisha. In any case it's nice to finally be playing this game. It's a miracle. Now if only another miracle would come up and give me Romancing SaGa 3.
