===''Panzer Dragoon Saga''=== ''[[Panzer Dragoon Saga]]'' (known as ''Azel: Panzer Dragoon RPG'' in Japan) is the sole RPG in the series, released for the [[Sega Saturn]] in 1998. Edge is a guard at an excavation site of the Empire, and while fending off an attack from a monster, encounters a girl embedded within a wall. The site is then attacked by the traitor, Craymen, who murders Edge's companions and takes the girl, who is still asleep and embedded in the wall. Edge is attacked by one of Craymen's henchmen and falls into a deep pit, splashing into the reservoir deep below the surface. There, he encounters a dragon and begins his quest for vengeance and to discover the truth behind the girl that was found. ''Panzer Dragoon Saga'' was developed as an [[role-playing video game]], rather than a [[Shoot 'em up#Tube and rail shooters|rail shooter]]. It translated the ''Panzer Dragoon'' game's shooting features into an RPG battle system and greatly expanded the world the player could explore. Due to its release towards the end of the lifespan of the [[Sega Saturn]], very few U.S. copies (6,000) were initially produced for its launch in May 1998. US game magazines such as [[Electronic Gaming Monthly|EGM]] gave the title rave reviews and Saturn owners preordered the game in decent numbers. As a result, a shortage of the game was apparent from the release with many stores unable to meet their preorders for the title. Almost a month later in June, Sega released a second batch of 12,000 copies to meet demand, and then later in the Summer another batch of 12,000 copies reached the market. Sega went as far as to have a small advertising campaign in various print magazines using a cut-out Edge face mask to promote the new shipments of the game.
