La Voluntad De Los Antiguos, a Spanish Panzer Dragoon Book, Announced

In a thread on Bluesky, Ramón Méndez has announced his new book about Panzer Dragoon, “La Voluntad De Los Antiguos” which translates as “The Will of the Ancients”. Here’s a DeepL translation of the thread:

This is one of my life’s dreams. Announced ‘The Will of the Ancients’, a book about Panzer Dragoon (especially about PD Saga) that the good people at @heroesdepapel.bsky.social let me write it because they don’t know what they’re doing. Finally I have a book about my favourite game 🩵.

In 1998, Panzer Dragoon Saga changed my life. I was so blown away by it that it was the first time I sat down to write about it, I had so much to tell about it. When I started working in print in 2003, I did so with the dream of writing about Shenmue and Panzer Dragoon. Now, both books are a reality.

It also has a foreword by my dearest Xcast, another one of the few crazy people who played the game at the time and who, one day when we were stranded in a London airport, offered me a trade for his copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga. Love you, beautiful 🩵

Panzer Dragoon Saga had a small print run at the time, but it’s a work of art. Everyone who played it has exceptional memories of it and it’s one of the best games of all time, even if Sega’s bad timing at the time left it a bit forgotten.

With this book, I hope to do justice to this masterpiece, to revive the memory of those who played it at the time, as I did, and to discover a fascinating universe for those who are new to it. Here’s to you, the me of almost thirty years ago.

Accompany these statements with the themes of the franchise, in the uniquely invented language known as Panzerese.

Anu orta veniya serere krythe
Praiar sol torrere solum
Anu pluiva ire serere krythe
Praiar nebula torrere laimos
