[edit] Soul Blazer
Main article:
Soul BlazerSoul Blazer's history concerns the Freil Empire, a kingdom ruled by King Magridd. Magridd learned of an inventor named Dr. Leo in his kingdom who could invent virtually anything. He had Dr. Leo imprisoned and forced him to create a machine that could be used to contact the evil spirit Deathtoll. Deathtoll offered the king one gold piece for each soul from his kingdom, and under the counsel of his wife, Magridd agrees. As a result, the villages were destroyed, all living creatures became incarcerated souls in Deathtoll's monster lairs, and the world became empty. The Master of the world sees this devastation and sends one of his heavenly servants to the kingdom in the form of a human warrior to defeat the monsters and liberate the inhabitants.

[edit] 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.[2]
- 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 however people tend to call him Metal Mantis for some reason despite the game telling you the bosses name after you defeat it.
- In the secret area in Terranigma, the Quintet staff members refer to the game as "Illusion of Gaia 2".
