History Trivia / PanzerDragoon

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Early promo art for ''Orta'' revealed that upgrading the Base Wing form would also change its color and appearance, not unlike the Glide and Heavy Wing forms. For whatever reason, it was never implemented in the final game.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: ''Saga'' is one of rarest and sought-after titles for the UsefulNotes/SegaSaturn. It was released at the tail-end of the console's short-lived lifespan and had an extremely limited run; only 20,000 copies were printed for North America while Europe received just ''1,000''. Second-hand copies are floating around, but will likely cost more than the system itself did back in 1995[[note]]As of 2021, the going price is a whopping ''$500'' for a loose copy, while complete in box copies go for over $1000. However, Japanese copies can be had for far less due to a higher print run[[/note]]. Worse yet, thanks to the game being copy protected (as in, special copy protection on top of the usual "wobble groove" copy protection found in a typical Saturn game), finding a clean rip of the game should you choose to go that route is needlessly overcomplicated.

* FanNickname:
** ''Zwei'' is the only game in the series to give the dragon an actual name "Lagi", as named by his owner Lundi. Fans have since applied the name to the dragon in each installment; what helps is each chronological dragon is the same in spirit, [[spoiler:as a result of the Heresy Program]].
** The language spoken in the games is a mix of Ancient Greek, Japanese, Latin, and Russian, which fans refer to as "Panzerese".

* SwanSong: ''Saga'' was the Saturn�s dying breath.

** ''Saga'' localizers Chris Lucich and Matt Underwood knew the game they were translating was probably dead-on-arrival, and it would receive little attention. Regardless, they loved the project so much that they overworked themselves to get the script done.

* DoingItForTheArt: As a team filled with many young newcomers, the artists and programmers of Team Andromeda weren't interested in conforming to popular trends, avoided them whenever they could, and were more concerned with making unique games that stood out. When Sega tasked them with making a JRPG that would outsell ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'', which the team felt was geared toward the mass market, they refused to follow in its footsteps and were more concerned about making ''Saga'' the best game it could be rather than something that would bring in huge sales. Although many were disappointed that the game didn't sell as well as they hoped and regretted not being as concerned about the company's needs, they believed if they had completed the game sooner or appealed to the wider market, it might have sold even less and ''Saga'' would have just become another RPG, and were still proud of what they were able to accomplish.

* InvisibleAdvertising: ''Saga'' had extremely limited marketing outside of Japan. Mainstream media outlets didn't get much information about the game, with Sega more or less relying on niche blogs and on word-of-mouth to sell the game.
