dragon by the time you enter Sestren at the end of the game, you will always be
riding an Arm Wing in the FMV sequence where Azel opens the portal. When Panzer
Dragoon 2: Zwei had a different ending sequence for each dragon form, it seems
odd that a similar thing was not done here.

THE LINGERING "AZEL: PANZER DRAGOON RPG" TITLE
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
You will no doubt have noticed the "Azel: Panzer Dragoon RPG" logo in Disc 1's
introduction movie. It is common knowledge that Azel: Panzer Dragoon RPG was
the original Japanese title of the game, which was changed to Panzer Dragoon
Saga for both the US and European versions.
Although other, more "straightforward" appearances of the game's logo (such as
the title screen) were changed, the translating team would not have been able
to change that particular logo without editing the movie sequence itself. This
is likely why it remains in the US and European versions.
What is almost certainly an oversight, however, is the half-and-half game title
that appears on the Game Over screen: "Azel: Panzer Dragoon Saga". This is
likely just a mistake, but it is possible that they intended to call the game
this, at some stage.

{8.02} TYPOS AND ACCIDENTAL NAME CHANGES
<<<=========================================================================>>>
Translating the masses of text in an RPG from the original Japanese is always a
huge task. In Panzer Dragoon Saga's case, the translation is surprisingly good,
with the text escaping the unnatural or weird sound of many translated games.
However, a few simple typos seem to have gone unnoticed, and have made it into
the final game. Again, a few of these could potentially cause confusion, so
they are listed here for completeness' sake.
THE "GUNSHIPS" IN THE IMPERIAL AIR FORCE
========================================
During the sequence of battles that make up the Imperial Air Force, there are a
pair of ships which are named on-screen as "Gunships". However, they are not
the same as the Gunship sub-boss from Georgius. They are actually Enforcers, as
in the "Aerial Battleship" battles from the Imperial Air Force Post.
Unlike the Gunship from Georgius, these ships can rotate their guns, and they
can also Stun your dragon with a special attack. Strangely, this attack,
previously called the "Stun Rocket", is here renamed as the "Bio-Dart".
However, this difference is purely superficial.
PYROS / INFERNOS
================
The Imperial "Pyro" ships that appear during the Disc 3 visit to the Tower are
all misnamed as "Infernos" in the battle sequences. An "Inferno" was actually
the Craymen's Fleet version of the same ship, which you would have fought at
Uru. Your "Data on Defeated Enemies" gallery records the correct information.
RAIDERS / STINGERS
==================
As with the Pyros (see above), the Imperial "Raider" ships that appear towards
the end of the Disc 3 Tower journey are misnamed in battle. They are referred
to as "Stingers", which are the weaker versions seen more commonly in the game.
Again, your "Data on Defeated Enemies" contains the correct information.
GOLIA HUNTER / GOLIA TRACKER
============================
When you encounter these two rare enemies in the Forest of Zoah, the "battle
title" versions of their names come up the wrong way around. If you defeat a
"Golia Hunter", it appears in your "Data on Defeated Enemies" gallery as a
Golia Tracker, and vice versa.
THE TOWER'S FLOORS
==================
While exploring the Tower in Disc 4, it becomes apparent that some areas have
odd names. For example, there are two areas called "14F East", one on the east
side of 14F and one on the west. Similarly, "1F East" is on the west side of
1F. However, the names for each floor from the Navigator function (which
players rarely tend to use) make perfect sense, and often contradict the on-
screen area names. Evidently mistakes were made in the main text, but not in
the seldom used Navigator. The incorrect floors should be as follows:
14F East (the west one) = 14F West
7F East (the west one) = 7F West
1F East = 1F West
