Reason: I think I'm doing this right.
Anyhow, these are all part of the SaGa series.

do we need a unique tag for each game in the series?
usually we per-game tags are for when games have distinctly different artsyles (see: the_legend_of_zelda) or when games have alternate versions/unique designs for characters that appeared in previous titles (see: the_legend_of_zelda).
I have no knowledge of the SaGa series, so I couldn't say one way or another. if it doesn't apply an aliases would probably be the better route.

It's sort of like what Final Fantasy does (in fact, the first games were localized in the US as Final Fantasy.) Each game has a different set of locations and characters (with the exception of the gacha games.) There could even potentially be a seperate tag for the remake of Romancing SaGa 1, as sites that see a lot of SaGa fanart usually differentiate between the two due to the drastically different character designs, but I don't expect a lot of art of the only four furry party members to pop up here so romancing_saga should work for both.

The Romancing SaGa games are pretty similar, but the two SaGa Frontiers are so un-alike that it would be weird to give any potential art of the monsters from SaGa Frontier 2 a SaGa Frontier tag.
The gameboy SaGa games could be lumped together, as characters for those are generally tagged with their first appearance on other sites.

To further explain what I mean, post #414565 is specifically Romancing SaGa Minstrel Song, the remake of Romancing SaGa 1. And that picture is of two characters that are in both the original and the remake. As the difference between the same character in two versions of the same game can be even greater than characters in Zelda, then completely different games in the SaGa series are also probably different enough to warrant separate tags.

...Hmm, that post is tagged wrong. That's just two humans. And "just two humans" doesn't seem to be a flag for deletion option? No clue what to do here.

Edit: Well, at least Jamil makes an appearance at the end. He's got weird ears in Minstrel Song.

I've only played Unlimited SaGa, but I'm led to believe every game in the series is a whole fresh setting (even the ones with the standard sequel-numbering.)

Oof, only Unlimited SaGa? My condolences.
...also, how did I not remember to check for an Unlimited SaGa tag? That game had two notable furries: Nasally Asuka Squirrel and a jackal that starts with the strongest move in the game.
