======The Granstream Saga======
An action RPG by [[Shade]] for the [[sony_playstation|Playstation]]. Mostly interesting because the development team included a few people 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**.
