I think PDS is special partly (mostly?) because of its part in gaming history. It was symbolic of the end of "peak Sega", a beautiful and ambitious RPG better (or at least more ambitious) than Final Fantasy 7 in many ways, released to virtually zero sales as Sega sunsetted the Saturn. (In retrospect, the failure of the Saturn was really the last nail in the console of Sega's console business, and the Dreamcast just couldn't overcome that inertia.) Or at least that's what Panzer Dragoon Saga represents to me anyway...
