Of course, you may be wondering what talk about the Gameboy has to do with Sa*Ga. After all, wasn't it on the PSX first? Nay, I say! The first Sa*Ga... the first three, actually... were indeed on the Gameboy. And, surprisingly enough, they were brough out in the US, too, as Final Fantasy Legend. It continued on the Super Famicom, as Romancing Sa*Ga, for three more games, though these never made it to the states. And finally, and most recently, are the Sa*Ga Frontier games on the Playstation; these are the ones people are likely most familiar with. It's amazing to compare Final Fantasy Legend to Sa*Ga Frontier 2...

    This brings me to what this page is about. Throughout Sa*Ga there are numerous, memorable characters, heroes and villains, and those lying inbetween. This page is dedicated to those characters that, because of obscurity or villainy, have never gotten the attention they deserve.

• Appearance: Sa*Ga 1
• Also known as: Kami-sama; the Silk Hat man.
• Age: As old as the Universe.
• Occupation: Divinity
• Weakness: Power tools

    Creator is an unusual character, especially considering he came around long before Square started putting mad dieties in their games at every opportunity.
    In the universe of Sa*Ga 1, a mammoth Tower connected numerous worlds, from fantasy, to modern day, to literal Hells. It was rumored that, at the top of the Tower, was Paradise.
    However, after the heroes fought their way through the Tower, fighting sinister threats to all who live, they come across Creator... who, secretly, had helped them through enigmatic hints all along. He told them that everything they had gone through was simply a game for his amusement, and that they had done well. Needless to say, the heroes immediately took up arms against their god...

    Creator was the boss of the game, as well as a nameless character that often appeared to give hints about what to do next. To my knowledge, he was the first villain in a Square game that was actually a deity, rather than a demon or monster. He wasn't one of the more difficult bosses though, especially when you realize that, thanks to a programming error, a single chainsaw swipe will kill him...

• Appearance: Sa*Ga 2, Hihou Densetsu
• Age: Unknown; several centuries
• Occupation: Tyrant, New God
• Weakness: None, the bastard. Grr.

    Apollo was the major villain in Sa*Ga 2, even though he wasn't the last boss. Despite this, he was still, by far, the hardest fight in the game, and more difficult than the last bosses in many others, thanks to his huge defense and massive attack strength. He wielded the Masamune, after all, as well as the nuclear magic, Flare...
    Apollo had delusions of power, and he nearly saw them to fruition He was one of the 'new gods', people who used the Treasures, fragments of the old gods, to give themselves immense mystic power. Through devious scheming and backstabbing, he managed to acquire all the treasures of the heroes, and used them! He fell only because, in his haste, he missed a single one...
