Dude this slide is fucking dire.

• 2 SaGa games in the same year with less than 6 months between them.
• The latter SaGa game: Romancing SaGa 2 is a remake of a game whose remaster was out in 2017.. Are they running low on remake content or what exactly?
• Visions of Mana flopped and the studio was shuttered before the game came out.
• Life is Strange: DE is seemingly a controversial entry, and has seemingly landed with no one talking about it.

Kingdom Hearts is basically the only positive in what's been released of this line-up.

Hopefully Fantasian and DQIII HD-2D do well (I have the latter pre-ordered).
