“SaGa Emerald Beyond is a wonderful RPG for anyone who loves experiencing multiple worlds and stories while partaking in incredibly gratifying encounters against imaginative enemies. This is the sort of game that we need more of.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
SaGa is one of Square Enix's weirdest franchises. Every entry is a little different, offering a unique perspective on narrative, or gameplay direction. - IS
HPP: "Square Enix’s addition to the SaGa series is a bit of a mixed bag. On one hand, you’ve got its storytelling and exploration mechanics—both of which feel strangely placed, and neither of which gives the proper amount of freedom that you’d expect from a SaGa title."
SaGa: Emerald Beyond is an RPG that does its own thing, and if you can get past its rough edges, there’s a lot to love.
