If you are into JRPG and don't have a Saturn than you should get one for more than the awsome Shinning Force 3. Panzer Dragoon Saga is the single greatest 32bit era RPG and even though it is rare expensive it is worth the price of entry. Do yourself a favor and discover what all of us Sega fans were talking about during the Saturn's underrated life.

Compare Panzer Dragoon Saga to Panzer Dragoon Orta for Xbox (which I have). Also, of all the Saturn games, is PD Saga the only good game, or would you also recommend PD , PD Zwei, Blazing Heros, Shing Force 3, Dragon Force, etc?

Also would you sya Panzer Dragoon Saga is better then all the 16 bit JRPG's? Is it better then Chrono Trigger, FF VI, Dragon Quest VI, Super Mario RPG, Secret of Evermore, Front Mission, etc?

I'll answer you point by point.

Compare Panzer Dragoon Saga to Panzer Dragoon Orta for Xbox (which I have).

Orta is a rail shoot. A very good rail shooter, but just an actiong ame with amazing art design and mythos. Panzer Dragoon Saga is a RPG with the best battle system in the "turn based" genre. It's a big epic RPG with so much to see and everything you experience will be unlike anything you've experiences from any other RPG.

Also, of all the Saturn games, is PD Saga the only good gam.

No. The Saturn is overflowing with underrated classics that most people missed out on. Not all of them are exclusive, but the exclusive ones are worth owning a Saturn for.

would you also recommend PD , PD Zwei, Blazing Heros, Shing Force 3, Dragon Force, etc?

I'm not a big fan of Blazing heroes, but others do like it. I wouldn't call it a must own. Dragon Force not my kind of game, but anyone can see it's briliant. All the Panzer Dragoon games are amazing rail shooters so if you liked Orta than you'll probably love Zwei and you should enjoy the original. Panzer Dragoon Saga is the only one that goes beyond the standard rail shooter though, but it's also the best for a lot of other reasons. Shinning Force is a great series of games and Shinning Force 3 is my favorite of them.

I would also recommend the following Saturn exclusives games:

Burning Rangers - Action

Magic Knight Rayearth - Adventure

Guardian Heroes - Beat'em up

Astal - 2D Platformer

Virtua Cop 1 & 2 - Lightgun Shooter

Nights Into Dreams - Side Scroller

Sonic R - Racer (Only as an example of Saturn graphics)

Sonic Jam - Collection(For the first appearance of 3D Sonic adventure gameplay)

Deep Fear - Survival Horror

High Volocity - Racer

Clockwork Knight 1 & 2 - 2D Platformer

It's my favorite so I would. But that's just my opinion. There are lots of great RPG that deserve just as much respect as Panzer Dragoon Saga. Panzer Dragoon Saga doesn't follow any of the cliches in RPG gameplay so for me it was a big breath of fresh air and ever since I look at the combat of most standard JRPG as outdated. I've never known anyone to lot like Panzer Dragoon Saga after playing it.
