Greetings from The Will of the Ancients

By Geoffrey

After a long absence I’ve finally returned to bring you more news on the Panzer Dragoon front. All sources indicate that 2005 will be a good year for Sega since Sega fully intends to resurrect more of its older franchises from the dead, so perhaps not all hope of seeing a true RPG sequel to Panzer Dragoon Saga is lost yet. You never know what the future holds. If you want my advice, Sega fans should keep their eyes on the two new Shining Force games destined to emerge sooner or later, especially the second Shining Force game which is rumoured to be a Strategy/RPG (I really hope there’s some truth to that rumour). All I really want is a true Shining Force game (by true I mean a game that remains true to its Strategy/RPG roots) with next generation graphics. Is that really too much to ask Sega?

Anyway, back to the task at hand. In this update I’d just like to direct everyone’s attention to Jeremy Prusak’s relatively new website devoted to Panzer Dragoon Saga again. The site itself has been flooded with new content including the complete Panzer Dragoon Saga OST as well as a specially edited version of the Panzer Dragoon anime. The site did actually disappear for a while but reappeared on a new server.

Next, Matt has created a trailer for another fake Panzer Dragoon RPG entitled Panzer Dragoon Incubos, which you can download here. I’ve also added a poster he made for the fictitious game to the fan art section, which can be viewed by clicking here. It makes me wonder who or what the next Panzer Dragoon RPG will be named after… if we ever see one of course; hopefully, the next game’s namesake will be a noble admiral of the Imperial armada hellbent on protecting his people from “the dragon witch” at any cost. Oh yes. I can see it now.

As for me… I’m putting some finishing touches to a piece of work I should’ve finished a long time ago. Chris also plans to focus on The Will of the Ancients a lot more in the weeks to come just as soon as he finds the time.
