Unlimited: Saga is a game you can only truly appreciate and understand if you're deep in the series and you really like RPGs, it's a wonderful game far ahead of its time but in the same exact way Wizardry 4 is, it's only for the most patrician of patricians, mere mortals can rarely appreciate it and see the greatness of it.
The only mistake besides making it completely menu based, was not making it as the swan song of the series.

>>The Chronicle begins with the birth of humanity
That's not true, humans have been around since millennias already.
Basically, the game has a linear story, but you're free to progress through the storyline in a non linear way, mainly because the game has two different generations or familiies of characters that coexist and sometimes collaborate in the same world, but also because you can simply choose a scenario that might be further on in the future compared to other available scenarios and vice versa, on new game+ the game also unlocks all of the scenarios at the same time compared to the normal game in which you still have to unlock scenarios by completing others.
Needless to say, this can lead to pretty good sequence breaking potential and some nice challenges too, but it's better for you to first play the scenarios in chronological order as the story is kind of elaborated for SaGa standards and might become a bit confusing.
Not to mention, SaGa Frontier 2 drops the BR so each scenario has its own BR, progressing in a non linear way without knowing what you're going to fight against can be very frustrating, especially because the final boss is very tough and you'll need to plan your growth well enough, especially since you can't exit neither a story scenario nor the final scenario once you start them, so you'll have to maximize your growth when it's possible to do so.
