Playing through Asellus's campaign in the rerelease made me realize that I was a fan of Yuri long before I knew I was a fan of Yuri. I was like, 13 the first time I played Saga Frontier and Asellus's campaign was my favorite.

I've never played Saga Frontier but this is pretty great, especially since Asellus is a canon gay (bisexual?) character from a 1997 game.
On a sidenote it's pretty funny how there's basically no fanart of Asellus x Gina at all, who is (from what I understand) Asellus's actual love interest. Meanwhile there's tons of Asellus x Princess White Rose fanart (and even official art!) when that ship was more subtexty. It probably helps that White Rose has actual character art while Gina doesn't.
Also for anyone wondering, this game recently got a remake released with new graphics and a lot of restored content cut from the original game.

It's a shame Gina doesn't have any official art cause her concept art is adorable.
I'm tempted by canon yuri, but I'm still a bit scared to try the SaGa series after everyone keeps talking about how obscure and convoluted the gameplay supposedly is.
