List of Quintet Games - Soul Blazer/Gaia Series

Soul Blazer/Gaia Series

While the games developed by Quintet are not officially related to one another, the online magazine Hardcore Gaming 101 (published by GameSpy) has referred to Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia and Terranigma as the Soul Blazer/Gaia series, pointing out a few common themes between the different titles.

• The basic story of reviving a dead or dying world is used in all three games.
• Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia and Terranigma feature two gods, Gaia and Dark Gaia, who are constantly in battle. In Soul Blazer they are referred to as The Master and Deathtoll.
• There is a dog named Turbo in each game.
• Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia and Terranigma use the Earth as a setting. Additionally, the ending of Illusion of Gaia hints at a world similar to the one in Terranigma.
• There are some recurring locations, such as South Cape and Mu.
• The sprite for Soul Blazer's "Soul of Light" is used as an enemy in Terranigma. Similarly, a monster lair enemy sprite from the Fire Shrine in Soul Blazer is reused to portray the Moon Tribe in Illusion of Gaia.
• A secret boss in Illusion of Gaia is Solid Arm from Soul Blazer. Solid Arm will tell Will how after "Blazer" (the hero from Soul Blazer) defeated him, Solid Arm was put to sleep and had his power sealed in fifty red jewels. After being defeated, he claims Will is more powerful than Blazer.
• In the secret area in Terranigma, the Quintet staff members refer to the game as "Illusion of Gaia 2".
