I actually want to add to this for a bit but the creator of 7th Dragon and Etrian Odyssey seems to be a huge fan of Princess Crown as there's a huge Princess Gradriel reference in both games.

I recently found these 2 artworks for Princess Crown illustrated by George Kamitani!
I restored them in photoshop for preservation. I wonder if there's more artwork out there...

We’re only a couple weeks out from the launch which means: contributor previews!
Our first preview could be none other than ’s piece featuring Gradriel from Princess Crown! While not technically under the Vanillaware label, it did leagues to establish an enduring format

I'm always impressed how no one calls out her obvious homage to Gradriel. Always loved her design, clear from having drawn this myself 12 years ago! - Thanks for the interesting overview here, it's great food for thought! Hadn't seen the Etrian Homage before!

And finally in 2008, Atlus's own variant of Gradriel would show up in Etrian odyssey II. They developed Princess Crown after the original company imploded, so I guess this counts as coming full circle.

In 2007, Vanillaware created Princess Crown's spiritual successor in Odin Sphere, with Gradriel carrying traces of her. No evil version this time, unless you turn to fanart.

In 2000, Capcom made Gaia Master with Princess Tiara, better known here as "Who is this I keep getting in the Kinu figurine collection?" Her transformed mode blended both versions of Gradriel.

After making Princess Crown in 1997, the original company and team collapsed and George Kamitani fell on hard times for years, living off bread crust.

Which sounds nuts, especially since Gradriel was one of those design archetypes that caught on.
