SaGa Frontier

SaGa Frontier
Developer: Squaresoft Platform: Playstation This game has a prototype article

SaGa Frontier is the seventh game in Squaresoft's long-running SaGa series. It's an open-ended RPG with seven separate scenarios, and unfortunately, a sharp learning curve and some seriously uneven difficulty, which caused many people to quit playing before really getting into it. It's also quite notoriously unfinished.

Unused Items

In a game this incomplete, it's no big surprise that there many items were left out. The majority are fully functional, so why they *were* left out is a mystery.

Weapons

• NotUse - There are several items with this name, much like how the majority of the dummied-out items in the US SNES release of Final Fantasy 4 (FF2, technically, but nobody calls it that anymore). The first of these is a sword with 39 attack power and no special effects.
• NotUse - Another one of these already. This is a gun with 44 attack power and an ammo capacity of 2.

Armor

• JerryArmor - A pathetic piece of mistranslated armor with a whole 6 defense that can't be unequipped. Evidently, monster classes have a hidden set of equipment, and this is one of a few monster-exclusive pieces of equipment. There's no way to actually see it without hacking, however.
• SlimyArmor - Only 8 defense, but it can be unequipped, at the least. Probably more monster equipment.
• SkeleMail - Another suit of armor presumably used by monsters. Has 16 defense and can't be unequipped.
• WhiteDress - This is listed with the "suit"-type armor for whatever reason. It has 40 defense, and stops Blind status like all other suits. It's unknown where this would have been used.

Accessories

• JunkPart - This is a distinctly different item from the normally accessible "JunkParts" item. This is an accessory with 1 defense, no special effects, and can't be unequipped. Rather useless.
• FovosGrail - Another accessory with a defense of 1 and no readily apparent special effects. Possibly another monster-exclusive piece of equipment.

Mec Parts

• V-Special - Functionally identical to the V-System. It's unknown what purpose this serves.
• JunkVulcan - This produces an effect similar to RangeFire. Probably intended to be equipped on Type 6 mecs, but the effect was changed to a skill instead.
• SatelliteBeam - Not really unused, just "ninja-equipped" on Type 2 mecs after using BitSystem combined with SatelliteLinker to produce the SatelliteBeam effect. This can't be used on its own, however.
• MinorLaser - This doesn't seem to be usable, but the game says it has an attack power of 10.
• DragonCannon - Another unusable weapon. The game's description states it has an attack power of 50.
• LastRing - Absolutely no clue. It can't be used, and it has no description.

Items

• BlackXKey - This was almost certainly intended for a sequence late in Red's chapter in which he's given a key deep within the BlackX Base. You still technically "get" the key, and the corresponding door opens afterwards, but it doesn't appear in your inventory.
• NotUse - There are five of these listed as items. Three have no known function, one restores the HP of non-mecs in battle, and the last of them can be used in the menu, but appears to have no effect.
