I bought PDS some days ago (a unemployed friend was needing the money and I was drooling over his game so... I'm broken now) and Sakura Wars (Great game! The little I can play without knowing japanese, of course. Some day I will...)

I have SW 1 & 2 and Panzer Dragoon Saga & Zwei and I'm loving these games, so what I need to know is if there are some games (US or Jap, Saturn or not) similar to these two great series.

They are so original and great that I would like to play games as good as these ones. :cheers

I assume you mean on the Saturn only?

edit: sorry I skim too much

Doesn't sound like it to me.

Yes. I'm accepting sugestions for any systems.

Rez is a good one to check out for the DC or PS2 if you like PD 1 or 2.

Same type of shooter -- but a different feel -- in a good way

    mal Feb 4, 2004 
Rez is a top suggestion. :agree

It may be a bit obvious, but Panzer Dragoon Orta on Xbox is really good too.

    Adrock Feb 4, 2004 
I think he is talking about RPGs but i could be wrong

Maybe some grandia 2 on the dreamcast, shining force 3 on saturn.

As i said i could be completely wrong, but he said PDS which is panzer dragoon saga. And i think sakura wars is some kind of rpg too.

    mal Feb 4, 2004 
He also mentioned Panzer Dragoon Zwei which isn't an RPG.

shenmue

    Dud Feb 4, 2004 
Skies of Arcadia for Dreamcast or Skies of Arcadia Legends on Gamecube

Rez is great, I've got the Playstation 2 version

Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (also on Playstation 2)

There are a lot of RPGs on Saturn I never played, does anyone know if Wachenroder is any good?

    it290 Feb 4, 2004 
Yeah, Sakura Wars has a lot in common with Shining Force as far as the battle system goes.

    M3d10n Feb 4, 2004 
...and so does Wachenröder. A nice turn based strategy game, with good graphics, cool sound and an awesome atmosphere.

    SegaTecToy Feb 5, 2004 
Thanks for the sugestions.

Rez is acclaimed as a great and original game from the reviews I see and I must get a XBOX to see how Panzer Dragoon Orta looks like in a console two generations ahead of the Saturn. (sadly the series never made to the DC)

Wachenröder, from the screenshots is similar to SW. And strategy games are a genre that I love.

The good news is that the games you all cited (like Grandia and Skies of Arcadia) are relatively easy to find and not very expensive.

I heard that Magic Knight Rayearth is a very good RPG too. And as the last western released Saturn game it is a piece of history too.

correction, the last US released game. Dont forget us PAL sods

   racketboy Feb 5, 2004 
Skies of Arcadia is wonderful.

It is getting a little harder to get for a good price though.

I should know -- I'm trying to get a good deal on another copy since my current disc one freezes on the same spot everytime.

You can probably get the GC version cheaper

    SegaTecToy Feb 5, 2004 
Yes, I'll try to get both but the GC version of SoA is really easier to find.

Interesting. Do you know what saturn game was the last one released in Europe?

    IBarracudaI Feb 5, 2004 
Deep fear probably

   AntiPasta Feb 5, 2004 
Yeah so I heard too. I picked it up for 5 euros once, anyone know what it is worth?

    IBarracudaI Feb 5, 2004 
it's an awesome game, worth much more than that in my opinion
