Panzer Dragoon Saga 2

Postby nessus87 » Mon Jul 07, 2003 6:31 pm

I never played the first and my only experience with the series is a demo of Ortabut it is revered so much I would love to play a remake or sequil. What are the chances?

Goaliefrk: No, he's talking about Panzer Dragoon Saga, not Orta.

I'd love to see a sequel to it, myself. Panzer Dragoon Saga is one of the greatest, most original RPGs I've ever played (I bought it last fall on EBay for a hundred bucks). No clue what the chances are but I'm hoping and praying

mikec_ct: You have PD Saga? GOD that is so damn cool! I wish I had that game. :cry: The thing is, I could have probably got it on a few occasions in the past, but whenever I've built up my interest for it and look on eBay, the discs are either scrathed or the outer box has a tear or whatever ect. :( There's also too many new games coming out... Dammit I'm just dying to get a Saturn for this game but I'll need a perfect copy first(I know its difficult nowadays). I promised myself that one day I shall experience the breathtaking Panzer Dragoon RPG experience, as I already know that its an amazing amazing masterpiece. PDO is one of my fave XBox games and although a hundred bucks is a lot for a five year old game, I already know that it'll be worth every single cent. So I'll just have to keep hunting! :D

By the way have you played Skies of Arcadia? That's one of my fave RPGs of all time and I think its like the PD RPG that the Dc never got! Are they anything alike? I think the concept of flying my own ship(SoA) and my own dragon, both being set in vast believable living breathing worlds is just one of the many similarities between the two games? ...And just a reminder, no spoilers plz! :D

goaliefrk: It would help if you bothered to get into the game rather than making such rash judgements based on just the first few hours. Besides, RPGs aren't really your type of game are they? So its understandable that you are unlikely to favour any RPG over the genres/games you do like.

I never bought Skies Of Arcadia, but I loved the Demo. Still not sure why I never got it, I should pick it up.

Regarding PDS, yeah, it was worth the 4 years of waiting and the money I spent to play it. It is a great game. The hype makes it seem like the greatest game of all time, a title it isn't quite worthy of, although it's easily in my top ten.

One final thing; I want to play through the game one more time at least, but I will be selling it in the future. The way at least a few segments of the PDS community works is, since there are so few copies, people just buy them and resell them to keep them circulating through the pool of people who want to experience it. This obviously isn't true for every copy but there is a growing group of people who are making this happen. The price is over 100 bucks because that weeds out the people who aren't serious about the game and keeping it going. After I bought my copy last year, I had a short email correspondence with the guy who sold it to me and he told me that my copy of the game had SEVEN DIFFERENT OWNERS since its release in 1998, and the game is still in near perfect quality. I've heard two similar stories from friends of mine who bought the game off EBay after I did.

Anyway, when I do get to the point where I want to sell it, I'll announce it first in here because I respect the Shenmue Dojo community more than any other gaming forum I've been a part of, and I feel like my copy would almost be staying in the family, lol. So keep your eyes out for my announcement if you don't buy it before then.

Wow thanks a lot for that info mikec_ct, I'll certainly be very happy to part with 100 for this game in near perfect condition. So I'll keep an eye out. Btw you really should play Skies of Arcadia if you get the chance, I just know its similar to PD Saga(?) and it is a truly great and magical experience that is far beyond tiresome sequels like FF.

No problem.

And yeah, I'll definitely have to check it out. I was nothing short of engrossed by that Demo but I never bought it. Am I stupid? Yes.

Did you complete the demo?

I also have the demo(the very thing that made me buy the game). Its good and offers a taste of SoA's outset, but its nowhere even close to representing the incredibleness of Skies of Arcadia. The full game is like nothing I've ever experienced save for a few.

That's a good choice, SoA is amazing beyond words. However, if you have a Gamecube then you should it for that instead. Skies of Arcadia Legends feature loads of new additions/content not found in the Dc version, thus extending the game length by a further 5-10hrs. Plus it also cuts down on the number of annoying random battles.
