This isn’t a game that’s had a few recognisable bosses or locations thrown in for the sake of some superficial authenticity or as a lazy attempt to woo existing fans over, Azel is absolutely a Panzer Dragoon RPG through and through: It was never meant to be anything else, and it never could be anything else either – the game oozes pride in its origins and feels equally confident in the quality of its new direction too. What could have easily been a dead-end RPG offshoot, kept apart for fear of alienating everyone who fell in love with the series for its arcade-like shooting action, is instead filled to overflowing with meaningful links to the previous games and even lays the groundwork for a huge emotional hit in the Xbox-exclusive sequel Panzer Dragoon Orta.

If it was a dessert, it’d be something involving fudge, warm chocolate sauce, and a very large spoon. This soundtrack isn’t really complete, however, because a few themes, such as the beautiful camp music played with a guitar in one of the key cinemas, and the awesome Guardian Dragon Theme, are not on the soundtrack which is rather unfortunate, but it’s definitely still worth picking up.I have played this game, so, so, many times over the years under its PAL title, Panzer Dragoon Saga. It’s great. The meaning of the lyrics is still unknown. The rest are all chip-generated music produced by the Sega Saturn, with the exception of the title theme ‘Ecce Valde Generous Ale’, and the beautiful ending credits vocal song, ‘Sona Mi Areru Ec Sancitu’, which has lyrics written in the game’s own language, often referred to as the ‘Panzer Language’. A lot of the songs are the pieces that play during any one of the numerous cinemas in the game, each being orchestrated. With a unique style of its own, the music features a variety of new age, some classical, and many other types of tracks that really don’t fit into any category. Panzer Dragoon Saga, was not only a work of art in terms of graphics and story, but also in sound. 01 – Ecce Valde Generous Ale (Behold the Precious Wings)Ģ8 – Sona Mi Areru Ec Sancitu (Art Thou the Holy One)Īrguably the best RPG for the Sega Saturn system, Azel: Panzer Dragoon RPG, a.k.a.
