Well it’s not a copy cat or clone of a specific game, it’s neither a rail shooter nor a JRPG (and before saga who would have thought the series can work like one, so, it’s not like it has remained in one specific style itself), panzer dragoon could be adapted to a similar modern style (ie no longer on rails since those don’t appear to do so well these days, or rather they’re not really created) within its own themes and art style.
Guh, I guess gifs don’t embed either.
Personally I get more panzer-suitable vibes from clips of this and the whole guy and his falcon vs the world deal than something like crimson dragon and iirc we in the past also discussed the potential of the series to expand to other genres if brought back, though I don’t recall if anyone ever thought to suggest an open world combat flight game like this (it may have been deemed impossible, or that lair game made it sound like a shit idea, but now you have a single guy developing this so, wow). I’ve suggested anything, from monster hunter style games (play as hunters riding out on coolia to find resources for their village and fight mutated and other beasts that threaten their survival, most often with the mutated nature to deal with but also the occasional ruin to explore, maybe delve inside to shut it down as it affects the environment, breeds monsters or whatever else) to strategy rpgs a la tactics ogre (with things like airship units flying above the battle map and different factions like meccania fighting the empire and each other) and rts.
