This is the story of the most important and influential RPG ever released -- which happens to be a game that next to nobody played, especially when it first came out.
This game is also THE case study in why emulation is the key to retro games preservation. Join me on this journey, and bring the legend back to life.

Worth noting that here, in France, we have a national museum who owns a nearly complete collection of physical copy of every single game released in France, and some versions from other countries, and they're accessible to researchers, as are versions of every console released here. We also have a unique system made to convert the datas on fragile old physical support onto digital copies, for the purpose of archival. Also worth noting that nearly ALL of those games and game consoles were donated by collectors and NOT by the console makers or publishers.

@@mrbransformer4184 It's been a goal of mine for too long to re obtain the title to archive a fresh version of it, but due to bad past choices I've missed a couple of real opportunities I've had previously. Due to pressure from others and bad timing. I remember holding a copy in my hands 10 years or so ago for £250.00, and now it's £600.00. Regrets. Never let people make you feel bad for following your heart kids, because listening to others can lead to some painful reflection down the line, I tell you what. I especially loved the games ties to zwei. Both games being developed at the same time and interacting with each other via the pandoras box features. Playing saga unlocking features in zwei and vice-versa. Zwei is also an astounding high point in the shooter genera for me that I find often gets overlooked by people talking and writing about the series to an extent.

I've been ludicrously excited to see this video in its final form for so long and it yet surpassed my expectations. Video game preservation and emulation has been dear to my heart for decades and as such it makes such a great case to bust through the misconceptions people have been manipulated into believing (i.e. emulation is illegal and you'll go to Nintendo-jail for it). I genuinely hope it gets more people to try their hand at it. And at the same time, it's such a wonderful love letter to Panzer Dragoon Saga, that I now regret never having finished. It's time. Glad you're back on your bullshit -- Panzer Dragoon Forever!✊

It's truly one of a kind, revolutionary, and get's my highest recommendation. It's the greatest piece of art in gaming that has so little fanfare or number of people who played it and it absolutely mut be re-released so that it isn't lost to history.

I stopped at the time in the video where you mentioned the term "avant-garde". And that's what drew me to Saga and the series as a kid. I thought back then "damn! I'm in for a treat if there's more games like this in the future!life is awesome!". But then the years rolled on and not many games seemed to want to do something that thought a little bit ahead. Apart from Riven and the Myst series, and the Legacy of Kain games I haven't come across anything in gaming that really transported me somewhere I haven't been before in the way Panzer Dragoon did. I wish more people were concerned with breaking new ground with their worldbuilding in games. The medium has such potential, but creativity is being stiffled by numbers these days. Thanks for the video :)

I've played PDS on an original (Japanese) Saturn albeit using a burned CD back in the 2010s. While a bitch and half to get working (I used the action replay hack) and I did physically shock myself doing so (accidentally touched the powered internals trying to quick swap a disk) in the end it was all worth it to play this masterpiece I'm happy emulation has gotten to the point where people can enjoy it without having to go through 50,000 steps involving original hardware
@MichaelSaba

Bingo, and what you describe is exactly why emulation is so important. Even when I played it back in middle school on original hardware, it still wasn't a glitch-free experience. The switch from disc 2 to disc 3 didn't "take" several times, which almost brought our marathon playthrough to a crashing halt then and there. Now, anyone with the willpower can enjoy this masterpiece right now -- just as it should be.

Wow, you went through all that heartache for nothing. To get any burned game to work, all that is required is an original sega saturn game (doesn't matter what game) and a burned disc. What you do is you need to take the cover off and put a piece of tape on the cd cover switch to trick it into thinking that the door is always closed, then you put the original game in first, and listen for the lense to move to the top of the track, and then immediately swap the burned disc in. With a little practice, you get a 100% bootup rate. No modchips, no action replays, no bullshit. In modern times, all you need is a Fenrir, which replaces the cd drive unit in favor of a sd card slot.

About the whole emulation thing, i would not exist as i am without it, and it boggles my mind how so many people look down on it. It was for most of my childhood the primary way of playing games and discovering new ones as well. It has shaped my personality and tastes in ways i couldn't get in any other way. I played many classic games, and most importantly, many obscure games, the ones less talked about, and if that were to be taken away from me it would make my life infinitely worse. I played so many games from so many different consoles that what i played is probably worth millions of dollars if i were to buy everything i needed to play said games. I am brazilian and grew up as a relatively poor kid who loved games, that coupled with the gaming market here being stupidly expensive meant that i only had access to older consoles, and often the games would be pirated ones (like 80% of brazilians back then and it still kind of like that today). Eventually, i got a pc as a gift, a piece of garbage pc of course, and didn't have anything to play in it. I did use emulators before on my cousin's pc but didn't really understand what it was or how to use it, and the way i got properly introduced to them was through a ps2 "7200 games in 1" disc that had some emulators in it, and it came with pc emulator as well. And that's how i started to love to play and discover new games from old consoles. I have the utmost respect for those who took the time to contribute to emulation, the developers of the emulators themselves, the research and documentation of games and consoles, game databases, game backups and anything in between. It made me experience so much, including the masterpiece that is Panzer Dragoon Saga.

A few things: firstly, I was truly overjoyed to see another video come into my perspective of your magnificent magnitude. Thank you for being here. Secondly, the entire DRAKENGARD/Nier series is very close to my heart, so seeing the inspiration behind the dragon combat was awesome! And lastly, when Legend of Mana got a bare bones remaster compared to every other game in the series, my fears were confirmed. Because of it being #4 in the series as well as the most out there of the entire franchise, I knew it would be given the least amount of work, which hurt every time I brought it up to someone. I wanted it to happen so bad but I was dreading the result.

Did you know panzer dragoon saga was the most expensive video game of all time until shenmue? More expensive than final fantasy 7. It really shows as well. The game took three years of development. The game took out so much of team Andromeda that after saga was released they asked to be dissolved themselves and Sega did so. Sega expected this game to sell millions initially, but it got released at the end of the Saturns life.

This is my favorite game of all time! I'm so happy that it's getting the love that it deserves now. When I first bought this game back in the day for the Sega Saturn it was part of the last run of Saturn games that I got from Japan. And I was never disappointed! And to hear that the myth of terrible Sega Saturn emulation is just that fills my heart with so much gladness. I have thought that this game and all of my Sega Saturn Classics were lost forever, but now I see that that was all just a myth and we can play these games again! You earned a sub for this man you really did lifetime as long as you have the channel I'll watch your stuff!

One of my all time favourite games. I genuinely feel honoured to have been able to have played it. My copy sits proudly on my games shelf, although my Saturn is temperamental. The narration of this video was beautiful, and brought a tear to my eye. Thank you.

wonderful video. i just played this game through emulation a few weeks ago and haven't really known how to feel because it was THAT good. and ironically this video, one more about the surrounding circumstances rather than the game itself, really helped me think about it in a more focused manner. you're a great storyteller, keep this stuff up!

This is one of the greatest documentaries on Panzer I've ever seen. You are such an eloquent and beautiful speaker. I was captivated the whole time. So much heart, depth and philosophy. I'm broke down and sobbed multiple times because of nostalgia and your incredibly relatable insights. I've subscribed to your channel and look forward towards your future videos. I have to say my biggest regret is selling my near mint copy of Panzer Saga on eBay a few years back for $500. It's amazing what you will do in dire times. Now that I'm more financially secure I am sooooo angry with myself for parting with piece of Saturn history...
