Firstly, Fuse’s investigation will lead him to the Bio Research Laboratory in Shrike. Since I had only completed SaGa Frontier Remastered as Asellus prior to selecting Fuse, I’ll detail some of the things I noticed. I’m not certain if this will make Fuse’s story a lot lengthier, like one investigation after another, or if things are mostly one-offs.įuse investigates Asellus and the Mystics Note: As of now, I haven’t tested a Fuse run after clearing two or more campaigns first (i.e., Asellus -> T260 -> Blue -> Fuse), or saving Fuse for last. The more final bosses you defeat as Fuse, the tougher things will be once he finally goes up against his own nemesis.

There’s also a sort of difficulty increase for the final boss, too. Going back to what I mentioned, it looks like Fuse will be able to undertake the final battle of each default character (provided that you’ve beaten the game with that character first). Likewise, there’s a waiting area in IRPO that informs you about a nifty mechanic. As such, completing the game as Asellus meant that Fuse’s first investigation was about her disappearance. Little did I know what this would entail.įor reference, it seems that finishing a campaign as a non-Fuse character ensures that Fuse will investigate that person if you chose him on your next run. That allowed me to select the New Game+ mode and, for my next run, I chose Fuse. As such, I finished her story first in this new version of the game. It's worth noting that this sprite proves that the poofy white thing normally on White Rose's head is a hat, not her hair.SaGa Frontier Remastered: The basics of Fuse’s campaignĪs mentioned in our SaGa Frontier Remastered impressions piece, Asellus happens to be my favorite character. Early versions of the game would have had them escape Facinaturu via Kurenai, the sentient flame pit just outside the town, which is indeed where these would have been used. just as they appear: Asellus and White Rose, naked. Given her important-looking appearance, she may also have been who the unused 'Woman' was supposed to be. She looks rather like some sort of superhero, so it's possible she'd have had some connection to Red's chapter. The third sprite is of a mysterious woman who appears several times in the debug room. It's possible this sprite was intended for CommonMec, but wasn't implemented. The second sprite is a Type 7 mec with a silver palette not used anywhere in the game. The first is one of the few pieces of evidence left pointing to Fuse's dropped chapter: a Despair worker uniform, the same type worn by Red, Blue, and Lute if they visit Despair in search of the Freedom Rune. In addition to the characters listed above, there are also a handful of unused sprites which can also be seen in the debug room. The only way out of the debug room is via the RegionMap, so you may wish to either visit the debug room as Blue or hack in a RegionMap via GameShark. In the case of Red and Riki, two sprites are displayed, and the upper ones will change you into Alkaiser and Riki's humanoid form, respectively.īeyond this screen are numerous more 'debug rooms', but there's nothing else to do, as the entire remainder of the debug room is simply a sprite test, although there's some interesting stuff here if you care to explore. The second area consists of all the main characters (including Fuse another remnant of his lost chapter), and speaking with any of them will change your 'map' sprite (the character you walk around as) to that character.

When you're finished, exit to the right to access more of the debug room.

Monsters and unused characters are represented by slimes the one in the middle is 'Woman', and the top row, from left to right, are as follows: CommonMec, Thunder, Cotton, Sei, Kylin, Slime, Suzaku, and RedTurnip. Simply talk to the chosen character, and choose the top option to add it to the party, or the bottom one to remove it. In this room, you can add or remove characters to your team at your leisure, allowing you to effectively create mix-and-match 'dream teams' not normally available.
