Description from IGDB IGDB

Guardian's Crusade, known in Japan as Knight & Baby, is a 1998 role-playing video game (RPG) for the PlayStation, developed by Tamsoft and released worldwide by Activision. The game revolves around a warrior named Knight, his fairy friend Nehani, and a pink creature named Baby that the player raises and feeds like a virtual pet. The gameplay is that of a standard turn based RPG with non-random encounters. Guardian's Crusade did not enjoy commercial success but received positive reviews.

Storyline IGDB

The Golden Tower... a majestic symbol of hope to the world. But behind its walls lurks a being that could destroy all. Evil forces are already in motion as the Tower cries out for a hero. Now destiny calls on you – a young knight charged with the care of a magical baby creature of mysterious origins. Prepare to face fantastic foes in a quest that leads to the cradle of all evil.

Wikipedia Description WIKIPEDIA

The world in Guardian's Crusade is entirely in 3D and is generally bright and cartoony. It takes place in various different terrains and environments. During battle, the character with the highest speed acts first. A 'Living Toy', that the player encounters outside battle, may be spawned during battle. From a technical standpoint and in terms of its contribution to the development of the RPG genre, Guardian's Crusade is noteworthy for several reasons. First, the game featured a seamless graphical transition between the overworld, towns, and flight, which all utilized the same graphical engine and scale. Many other RPGs before and since have relied on miniature, less detailed representations of towns when a player is exploring the overworld (e.g. the Final Fantasy games on the original PlayStation) or flying (e.g. Dragon Quest VIII). This feature helped to make the Guardian's Crusade world more immersive and is an impressive accomplishment given the technical limitations of the PlayStation console. Second, the game implemented a system that allowed players to choose whether or not to engage in battles, since enemies can be seen by the player on the field map. Enemies on the overworld and in dungeons were represented by different sized ghosts which would wander the landscape and chase after the player, but could be avoided through speed or stealth. Large aggressive pink ghosts represented enemy monsters with higher levels than the player. Enemies at a lower level were represented by smaller white ghosts that would actually flee from the player. This mechanic provided a visual indicator of how powerful the player character was becoming. Finally, the game incorporated a virtual pet.
