Sad to say Panzer Dragoon Saga gets on JRPG anime autopilot halfway through and never recovers. They completely obliterate the vague sick ass storytelling from the first two games (and first two discs of this one) and the illusion that the world is huge and varied in order to make it fit into some chosen one save the world stuff that should be a crime to put in any game.
It also gets inexplicably ugly and even easier as it goes. The dungeons turn into a bunch of infinite corridors that belong to a confusing larger area with enemies that die with one hit. The battle swirl is just a 100% white screen right in your face, so you’re in the corridor bored out of your mind, probably lost, then a flashbang wakes you up for you to press any button so the monster can die.
And I’m not an expert, but I’m pretty sure the localization is bad. Just from watching a bunch of anime in my teens and having a repertoire of sentences like “do your best” and “this is the final mission” and “i love you” I could tell they were inserting some shit that the characters weren’t really saying. Near the end the protagonist says a huge ship is “as big as Vaiman’s ass”, referencing a fat character from earlier. He says that, in my Moebius Nausicaa fairy tale game.
I mean,
