So reads the back of the case for ''[=SaGa=] Frontier'', the first ''VideoGame/{{SaGa|RPG}}'' game released in North America since ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyLegendIII'', and the first one on the UsefulNotes/PlayStation. It came out March 25 1998, (July 11 '97 in Japan) and was produced by Creator/{{Square|Enix}}soft's Production Team 2 (referred to as "2nd Division" in-game.) The 75 song soundtrack was composed and arranged by Creator/KenjiIto, who also did the soundtracks for previous ''[=SaGa=]'' titles.

* TakenForGranite: A few moves (usable by both you or the random monsters that have it), can petrify. If used on an enemy, the result is instant death, while when used on the player, the character is 'Stoned' and unable to attack, but immune to damage and loss of LP. If the whole team (or just the ones left alive) are Stoned, it's GameOver.

Added DiffLines:

* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: The [=DSC=] can be classified as such as it is the strongest single tech ever, breaking the damage limit to five digits. It is a chain combo of repeated slams.

* BatOutOfHell: In addition to regular bats, there's a BonusBoss-- The Abyss Bat.
* BeefGate: Early on in Asellus's game, in Chateau Aguille, it's possible to find an endgame BonusBoss with ending-altering potential. Even if you're properly trained, it's a difficult fight. Trying to fight it at the point in the game where it's possible to first encounter it? Suicide.

* BonusBoss: The Earth Dragon at the Bio Research Lab, Jotnar and the dragons in Mosperiburg, the Abyss Bat in Shingrow can be fought by anyone. A few can only be fought in specific characters' games, like the Big Diggers in [=T260's=]. The Remaster added one exclusive to Fuse, which can only be fought after a successful [[FinalBoss Final]] BossRush.
* BonusDungeon: In the original version of the game, the Bio Research Lab had no plot linked to it; there was ''going'' to be, but it got axed with the rest of Asellus's plot. It's just a place where you can do battle against increasingly-powerful monsters and the [[BonusBoss Earth Dragon]]. However, the Remaster added the Asellus plot elements back in.

** In the Remaster, as long as Fuse has recruited the connected protagonist and finished their "Case File", he can choose to fight their FinalBoss at the end of a run. By fighting all seven, the last one gains a huge power boost, and victory unlocks a BonusBoss in the DevelopersRoom.

** Several of the secret characters. Sei can only be found after beating a BonusDungeon in Shrike, Suzaku can be recruited only if you beat a random BonusBoss, while you're on a certain quest, and Rei can only be obtained during Asellus's game, after you lose [[spoiler:White Rose]], if you went into her room with ''just'' White Rose early on in the game.

** The Abyss Bat is one of the most elusive BonusBoss with no explanation whatsoever in how to encounter it. You have to get into the part in the Ancient Ship at Shingrow where there are Bat-sprite enemies that roamed the land. You need to beat down around 13 of them, all while exiting and re-entering the area. Once you do, the Abyss Bat will pop up. And need we remind you, ''nothing'' in game or even manuals talks about anything like 'dangerous bat monster spotted in the ruins.'

* DevelopersForesight: Red cannot transform into Alkaiser if there are humans or monsters in the party to witness him. If you recruited Cotton from the Bio Research Lab before participating in the tournament in Shingrow, Red will ask it to wait to the side before running off to transform and compete; talking to it shows it fretting over Red being late coming back.

* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Humans advance their stats by using them, and learn new combat moves by fighting. This means that, with enough training, an ordinary human teenager with no magic powers whatsoever can become strong enough to suplex HumongousMecha.
