These were actually big selling points for me. :lol:

Same here. It wasn't amazing, but it was definitely solidly good.
Alpha Protocol is quite good, though pistols are massively OP.

Wait, Alpha Protocol is an RPG? I thought it was just an FPS ...

It's both third person and an RPG. Combat is real time but pauses for certain abilities (think of Mass Effect).

Final Fantasy VII has "better pacing" than Panzer Dragoon Saga?!

There's one area in PDS that drags a bit (that underground ruins area), but the rest is remarkably quick in its pacing. I love that it can be finished in 15-20 hours, and that it doesn't mess around a lot with side quests. Now, if that's your thing... well, I can see where it would feel restrictive.

I still think there are places the art design shines through, but the tech is rather sketchy, especially after we've been spoiled for so long with better draw distances and higher resolutions. Also, check out those warping polygons in the towns! A modern remake would be spectacular. Don't even change anything, just use a better engine.

I can't tell you how disappointed I am that we never received a Panzer Dragoon collection for the Wii. (It isn't too late to make one for the Wii U, however...Get on that Sega!)

I started Pokemon Yellow last weekend for the 20th anniversary, just beat the pokemon grave tower. I forgot how creepy Lavander Towns music was. Also Pikachu kind of sucks since he won't let me evolve into Raichu, but I feel obligated to use him since it is yellow version.

I believe source code is lost for PDS.
