Trivia: Despite rave reviews and a cult following, this four-disk epic game was poorly marketed. The Sega Saturn was not selling very well and the end of its production was right around the corner as the Dreamcast was waiting in the wings. Team Andromeda, the in-house team that made the Saturn titles, grew from 20 members to 40. The team had trouble making the battle parts. As a result of the game on a poorly-selling system such as Saturn, only a few copies of this game were ever released and sold copies were auctioned off at eBay with bids as high as $172.50. Obviously, the game did not sell well in its release and Team Andromeda dissolved (development of the fourth game, which was for Xbox, was done by Smilebit).
