Engaging combat, fantastic art design, great music, great visuals for Saturn , and your riding a badass flying Dragon that can morph into different dragons. Can't go wrong with that.

Worth playing? Absolutely. Worth paying $200+ for it? No.

>>2856391
Does it emulate well?

>>2856392
Not sure about emulating. Never tried. Haven't heard great things about Saturn emulators tho. Heard the jap version is a lot cheaper if you can read moon or just don't care about knowing the story.

Emulation of it is not good. Get a real saturn with one of those action replay carts so you can play burned games, and away you go.

>>2856392
Saturn emulation was super shitty for a long time but is apparently better these days. Even if it's not 100%, it's better than shelling out the kind of prices the physical game goes for.

>>2856408
>get a real saturn
segafag pls go

>>2856380
I just beat it last week, its short but its worth it. Imagine Parasite eve style battle (ATB) with a dragon. The graphics are okay but sometimes I dont know what the developers were imagining. The story is well written as well. The feeling of loneliness you get surrounding the world is fantastic. But I recommend playing at least PD and Zwei before this one especially zwei as there are many things that connect with it in terms of story that you might not get. Music is atmospheric but works well.
like >>2856391 said its worth it but not worth the 350 its going for here.

>>2856413
Is it really going for $350 now a days? Does anyone want to buy my copy kek

>>2856410
>>2856410
Saturn is really hard to emulate for because it's so weirdly designed. Emulators for it still aren't 100% so it's really not that bad a recommendation. Saturn is the only retro console I still keep around because of this. I've never found an emulator that can run Legend of Oasis to my satisfaction.

>>2856408
I thought SSF emulated things right.

I dunno with this game tho, I just tested it with Astal.

Well since Saturn collecting is being cool now, the games are going up fast!

>>2856425
That's crazy. Luckily all the games I own were purchased b4 prices went retarded. I thought for sure the Saturn game bubble would have popped by now. Who would buy at these prices?

>>2856436
Anyone desperate enough i suppose. Saturn games got expensive this year, even last year I could find some deals on certain titles and even importing has gotten expensive.

>>2856380
game was great, if you read reviews made back in the day, they all agree it was better than FF7.

But because it was released on the saturn and didn't have the 70 million dollars for marketing like FF7, the game was overlooked

>>2856419
They only made 30k copies so it's always been worth a lot.

Game is great, despite its draw distance. Vibrant sound design and graphic style, with an interesting lore. It's also definitely on the easy side, and quite short.

>>2856490
and some definitely have been destroyed. For some reason I've randomly ended owning discs 1 and 3 of the game, might have to hunt down the other two for the sake of it.

>>2856490
True but I just never would of thought it would rise anywhere near $350. Just glad I bought my copy when I did.

>>2856625
Dude I remember it being in the $300 back in the mid 00's when I was into collecting Saturn stuff.

>>2856380
It's great because of it's value on the retro games market

>>2856625
Just think of it as an investment, bro. They're not making any more of them, so the value is guaranteed to go up.

>>2856392
You can always get a Saturn and modchip it.

OP here...I'm interested in playing it, but I'd really like to avoid having to buy a bunch of consoles and shit to play a 20 hour game. Is it like unplayabl emulated, or just not optimal? What kind of issues are there?

Best RPG ever made. Well worth the over $300-$400 it goes for given not many were made.

>>2856979
Holy fuck no. Xenogears and Planescape easily bounce the fuck out of PDS.

>>2856979
this is the state of trolling in 2015

how's life under the bridge

>>2857048
>>2857051
Dumb kids hating anything SEGA. Go figure.

>>2856958
>I'd really like to avoid having to buy a bunch of consoles
Well then lucky for you you only have to buy one.

Buy it at the going rate($350 for argument
sakes) then play it a couple times until you get it out of your system. Re-sell and either make a profit, break even, or sell for a loss. Even if you sell it for only $300 it's still well worth it for the experience and for $50 and now you have a majority of your cash back. Your welcome OP :^)

>>2857067
He has shit taste obviously, but it isn't necessarily a troll, just an opinion.

>>2857230
Not including Panzer Dragoon Saga in at least the top 5 best RPGs of all time means you're a fucking idiot. Or maybe paid shill or just a shill.

>>2856958
You should definitely get a Saturn (and svideo or rgb), since emulation is currently broken with exceptions, and will likely stay that way for a long time. It's neat console to own anyway. Just burn discs.

>>2857236
>shill

>>2857236
I don't think Sony is paying anyone to shill 20 year old games.

>>2857248
Nice reaction image kiddo.

But it's true. You already got people saying the new Xenogear game is among the best RPGs. That is shilling, champ.

>>2857250
You haven't seen the FF7 remake crowd yet have ya?

>>2857236
>top 5 best RPGs of all time
Honestly it's going to be very tough making such a list.There's a fuckton of great RPGs out there, none of them alike despite sharing a common genre. Ranking them is nearly impossible.
I'd say PDS gets to be in the best tier either way.

>>2856392
I was able to play it on my toaster

>>2857419
This one?

>>2857419
So I have you telling me you can play it on a toaster, but for some reason there's a general consensus that emulation is not viable. Is this just like people getting nitpicky about like scanlines or something?

>>2858541
The emulator ssf or whatever it was called was trash when I last tried it. But that was years ago.

Some anons are saying the new version is good. No idea.

>>2856380
Actual war crimes are not as damaging to the human race as JRPGs. Kill this thread.

>>2858541
>there's a general consensus that emulation is not viable
So you are going to believe the people who clearly don't emulate Saturn games because they believe it to be impossible over the people who actually emulate Saturn games on a regular basis?

Your "general consensus" is usually:
>What do you mean the Saturn emulator in Retroarch isn't the best possible choice?
>Mount a CD? This is fucking trash (read: I don't know how to mount a CD)
>OMG it's open source I refuse to use it
>If one game out of a hundred is not 100% accurate that means the emulator is worthless
>I've never tried it but I always heard that the Saturn was stupidly designed and so clearly nobody can emulate it
>I tried using a really old build once years ago and it didn't run very well and clearly nothing has changed

>>2858541
it was a vista with a basic intel pentium. i didn't upscale it but the game itself ran fine. one issue i had was after i finished the game, it went black. so i deleted the ntcs iso for disc 4 and swapped it with the pal iso and it plays well.

>>2856380
>what is so great about it?

It's rare and expensive.

>>2858686
Meh. At this rate, Conker N64 (which isn't as rare to begin with) is getting nearly as expensive as PDS. Go figure.
