The Granstream Saga

An action RPG by Shade for the Sony PlayStation. Mostly interesting because the development team included a few chaps who worked for Quintet on the sorta-trilogy of Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia, and Terranigma.

Notes:

  • Lots of guys worked on Ghost in the Shell, Omega Boost, and other SCEI stuff. Akira Sato (Executive Producer) was a founding member of that group, so I guess he took a lot of the Shade people with him.
  • The significant Quintet people are the director Koji Yokota, the two scenario writers Tomoyoshi Miyazaki and Masami Ohkubo, and Terranigma's sound team Masanori Hikichi, Takako Ochiai, and Miyoko Kobayashi.
