One of the lead programmers for the Sega Saturn grand opus, Panzer Dragoon Saga has created a series of posts on his bluesky account. I was made aware of this several months ago, and am just now getting the opportunity to share the translated dialogue.
Nothing too major to note, but this is still interesting to get some inside perspective about this rare and often overlooked game.
I share the story of my purchasing and owning the game, almost every opportunity I get. It does feel like a bragging right, when considering the usa port of the game is now in the upwards of $1000’s.
If you want to see his bluesky for yourself, you can find it at:

多分昔プレイしたときはこの辺やってない

D units are all in their ultimate form

ウル地下から再開
そういえばプロジェクト配属になったころに作業進んでたのこの辺
右側のeffect、多分ほぼ最初に振られた仕事だったんじゃないかと思う
Reopen from your underground
Come to think of it, I was working on this area around the time I was assigned to the project.
The effect on the right, I think it was probably the first job to be given

スタッフロールにある自分の名前を確認
あと1,2箇所出てるんだけどキャプチャしそこね

勘違いだったかしら
Successfully cleared
Check your name on your staff roll
There are one or two more places, but I can’t capture them
I thought I would find 3 places, but I only found 2 places
I wonder if it was a misunderstanding

主人公エッジのCVは石田彰さん
石田さんスペースチャンネル5パート2にも出演していらしたので、自分の人生にそれなりに縁がある方なのだけど、お会いしたことがないのが残念
The CV of the main character Edge is Akira Ishida
Mr. Ishida also appeared on Space Channel 5 Part 2, so he has a connection to his own life, but it’s a pity that I haven’t met him

POLYMEGA、本当は今日はこっちを攻略するつもりだったのよ
その前にちょっと中途半端なやつを仕上げるかーって軽い気持ちで
あんなに経験値稼ぎに時間かかると思わなかった
POLYMEGA, I was actually going to attack this one today.
Before that, I was lightly worried about finishing a little half-hearted
I didn’t think it would take so long to earn experience
