If you’re going to fight the bonus bosses make sure to do it before the end of your third game because you won’t get a fourth chance (they limited the number of times you can play through the game using New Game +es to prevent Augment abuse).

It also didn’t help that it came out around the same time as FF VII as well as being both the first SaGa game to come out in a long time as well as being the first one to actually be called a SaGa game. It probably was just too new at the time as well as being unfairly compared with an entirely different game to have gotten the score that it deserved back then.
All this talk of SaGa has reminded me of a fond moment from SF 2 that got me wanting to make a favorite moment thread on that olde SaGa forum (even if it is sorta dead right now).
