On the journey, they run into some Empire ships, which the dragon destroys despite Kyle’s general anti-violence stance. Another dragon, whose rider has been killed, takes up Kyle and chases the black dragon, to not only stop it from reaching the tower, but to save Alita. Anyway, an evil black dragon flies by, kills Kyle’s friend, kidnaps Alita by absorbing her into its body, and takes off.

Two staff members died during development, which the director, Yukio Futatsugi, attributed to stressful working conditions. The project was arduous and repeatedly delayed incorporating the Panzer Dragoon shooting elements with full 3D computer graphics and voice acting, both unusual features in RPGs at the time, pushed the Saturn to its technical limits and strained team relations. Development began in early 1995 alongside Panzer Dragoon II Zwei (1996). Sega felt an RPG was critical to compete against the PlayStation and Final Fantasy.
