| "A robot that forgot its mission" |
Background: This highly sophisticated robot was constructed from readily available components and a core found buried at a mysterious crash site. Extremely intelligent and physically strong, it had an important mission. But due to damage the nature of this mission has been lost. T260G will journey to recover its functions and to accomplish its forgotten directive.
Tips & Ramblings: T260G's quest is pretty cool and has some flashy parts. Throughout the game he learns some nifty special attacks. My favorite attack is the one when he sends tons of little T260Gs to attack the enemy. I think T260G's quest is good for beginners because robots are the easiest/fastest characters to develop. They help make your battle party more stable. The only annoying thing about them is their means of regaining lost HP. The best solution to that is to recruit Enginecar, the self-repairing robot, from Nakajima Electronics in Shrike (think of it as a robot healer). Enginecar should also carry the backpack so he can play the role of healer for everyone instead of just with robots. (Fyi, the backpack is an item that allows a single character to access all the items of your inventory during battle, every other character can only use equipped items) Overall, I think T260G's quest is pretty fun.
 
 Human/Male |
| "A super hero fighting against evil" |
Background: Endowed with superhuman abilities, Red lives among other humans as an apprentice engineer on the regional ship Cygnus. Years ago the evil syndicate BlackX killed his father and abducted his mother and sister. Left for dead, Red was saved by Alkarl, who came from the hold land of heroes, and granted him amazing powers. Red is on a continuing search for BlackX and its followers.
Tips & Ramblings: Red's quest is fun! He turns into a weird-lookin "super hero" at several points in the game. His quest is weird and cheesy but still quite exciting. Out of all my experiences with the SaGa Frontier characters, my most powerful battle party was with Red's quest. He learns some of the most powerful attacks in the game. And like with T260G's quest, Red's quest also has some flashy cool parts. It also seems like the longest quest.
 
 Human/Male |
| "A magician destined to kill his brother" |
Background: Born a twin with an affinity for magic, Blue is able to access powerful spells. However, these powers have been divided by himself and his twin brother, and therefore Blue can currently reach only half of his full potential. According to the customs of this land, Blue must confront and destroy his twin brother in order to attain his true strength.
Tips & Ramblings: Blue's quest RULES!! Blue is my bitch! >:D You have to make him learn every form of magic! Now how cool is that?! I get an orgasm just thinking about the concept. Ah, but the storyline of his quest has quite a shocking turn of events--Blue must kill his brother, Rouge! (I didn't spoil anything by saying that because you're told to kill Rouge right smack in the beginning) If Blue loses to Rouge then you continue on the game playing as Rouge (with the same stat's as Blue). My favorite part in Blue's quest is when he learns Time magic. SaGa Frontier's Time magic gives you several advantages during battle. The strongest time spell pauses time, transports the battle to another dimension and you get to attack the enemy like 5 times in a row.
 
 Human/Female |
| "A woman seeking to avenge her murdered fiancé" |
Background: Formerly a successful fashion model, Emelia left the modeling industry disillusioned and unhappy with her life. Then she met Ren, who provided her with the love and security she thought she'd never find. They were quickly engaged, but to Emelia's horror Ren was murdered before they were married. Though she had only witnessed the crime, Emelia was charged with murder. Armed with the knowledge of the murder's identity, she escapes from jail to find the man responsible for destroying her happiness.
Tips & Ramblings: Emelia's quest is sometimes sad and sometimes oh so very cute. She uses several different outfits to "match" her situations. My favorite outfit is the first one when she's dressed up in a casino uniform, which looks like a Playboy bunny outfit. :p Emelia's ending shows some pretty cool 3D chibi pictures of her and the rest of her battle party.
 
 Human-Mystic/Female |
| "A wandering half-mystic in search of her identity" |
Background: Save from certain death by a transfusion of Mystic blood, Asellus became the first and only Human/Mystic half-breed on this world. Though grateful to Orlouge, the Mystic whose blood saved her life, Asellus wonders whether she is really Human or Mystic.
Tips & Ramblings: I LOVE Asellus!! She is my hero and personal role-model. Her quest is my most favorite. It begins with Asellus getting run over by a carriage. Then she wakes up in an exotic castle. Asellus eventually learns that she's half mystic and that all mystics are involved in some kind of cult worshipping a guy named Orlouge. A mystic named Princess White Rose eventually sides with Asellus (I love her too!). But as much as I love Asellus, her quest can get really annoying because many of the bosses appear in random places. You spend most of the time wondering around trying to encounter these bosses. There's one really awesome thing about Asellus' quest! In the beginning of the game when you're still in the mystic's world, you can snag the Asura sword from some green guy in town (one of the most powerful swords in the game!). The only catch is that you have to sacrifice half of your life points for it. Equipping yourself with the Asura sword makes the rest of the game a breeze! I love Asellus' quest so much. A bunch of kick ass characters join her. One of my favorite is Mesarphim! She's a really cool water mystic that looks like a mermaid. If you're a lesbian then you would love playing Asellus' quest. It gives off such strong lesbian vibes, especially since Asellus is so masculine. Sometimes I wonder about her and Princess White Rose's sexuality. It's almost as if they perform sexual acts when you're not looking.
 
 Human/Male |
| "A wandering minstrel from Yorkland" |
Background: A simple country boy, Lute leads a gentle and worry-free life. Giving up work for the love of his music, Lute seeks a new life and leaves his birthplace, instrument in hand, for the promise of song and adventure.
Tips & Ramblings: Lute's quest is the most pointless and shortest in SaGa Frontier. He only has ONE quest--which is the last one! Taking on that one only quest in the beginning is suicide. You need to go through all the side-quests to build up your battle party for the final battle. Lute's final battle and ending is pretty cool; it has several 3D pictures.
 
 Monster |
| "A monster seeking the rings of salvation" |
Background: Riki's home world, Margmel, is dying, and only the power of the legendary rings will prevent the entire region from being destroyed. Riki already has one ring in his possession, but all the rings must be brought together for the power to be strong enough. He has embarked on a search for the missing rings.
Tips & Ramblings: Riki's quest is the most challenging out of the rest of the characters, especially since he doesn't have that much freedom. I don't like monsters that much. All the time you finish a battle, you have the option for monster(s) to change into another one. Most monster forms aren't too powerful. When I played Riki's quest, Riki was always the weakest character in my battle party. He always kept on dying all the time!! >_< Despite all that, Riki's quest has some of the most prettiest backgrounds in SaGa Frontier. Margmel (his homeland) looks cool. And Riki is the only character that has a quest in the awesome-looking Ring Lord's castle.
