The final of the game really got on my nerves though. Even worst than FFVII. In this case, it was left for the player to know that Azel never had any love interest for Edge even though all they got through together. It seems that she only loved Crayman (this is not oficial though). And it seems this go for the sequel, as Orta is daugher of them both. What the fuck is Mass Effect?!! (j/k, i can't lie here) |
This is how I interpreted the end to Panzer Dragoon Saga:
The ancients built Azel with a purpose just like the dragons, towers, drones, etc. Azel was a drone. She was compelled to complete that purpose. There was no way of avoiding it, no matter who she loved or was loyal to. She protected Edge so she at the very least didn't want him hurt. The part of the ending that I never cared for, but doesn't ruin it for me, was the revelation that the player is the real hero working through edge. I'd prefer a simpler and less philosophical approach. But like I said it doesn't ruin it for me.
As for Panzer Dragoon Orta, I would have to guess that Orta was the daughter of Edge and Azel, but since there was no love scene in the game I'm just guessing. Craymen seemed more interested in Azel as a tool and didn't really consider her a real person. Edge treated her like a person with feelings and that's why they developed a relationship.
On a side note, FFVII's ending could have explained things a little better. It didn't bother me because I like ending that leave a some information up for debate. That way you have something to talk about.
