Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? We SaGa fans are getting spoiled immeasurably this year, and I love it!

My favorite one is SaGa Frontier 2, and then RS2 and RS3.

If i recruit am Armed Merchant named Magellan, will he, even if he doesnt LP die, and I go to a next generation, will he eventually be recruitable again?

I haven't actually touched the series before despite being a huge jrpg addict. I'd like to try one of the pixel Romancing Saga's to start off. My first thought was to do 3 since its apparantly the easiest but I'm normally not too big on purely open world styled games and I heard 1 and 2 both had a far more straightforward story. Which would you recommend for a first title?...

Tried the game out for a few seconds, but it didn't detect my gamepad. First game that ever hasn't. Not only that, but no option for full screen or anything of the short. =\
