Another nostalgic moment today.... this game means a lot of things for many people, perhaps better known with its USA and EURO name of Panzer Dragoon Saga... the game that could have been saved Sega Saturn if only it would not go out so late...
Anyway this game figures in the TOP 100 IGN chart of games of all times and it's there at position number 44... oh god not bad at all
here is what they say of this game:
"Released in the wake of the RPG boom that followed the release of Final Fantasy VII, SEGA's Panzer Dragoon Saga was the RPG masterpiece Saturn fans had been waiting for. Arriving a little too late to save the doomed console in North America, it languished as the treasured secret of the lucky few that bought it.
It's too bad, since it was easily one of the best games of its day. With a sparse, surreal landscape and art direction any movie would kill for, the post-apocalyptic RPG coupled an ugly beauty with one of the genre's truly original stories and a battle system that remains one of the best of its kind.
When SEGA decided to revive Panzer on the Xbox, it returned the series to its shooter roots. With many of the key players scattered to new companies, it seems unlikely we'll ever see another one, and so those cherished Saturn discs are destined to remain among gaming's most prized collectibles."
i decided to post the Jap version coverz cos as always sat covers are really a lot better in their jap counterpart, but if u'd like to try this old gem i gave u the advice to test the USA or EURO version cos it is an rps and otherwise u would not understand anything i suppose....
