thoughts on Grandia 1?
It's a decent adventure but it peaks at the end of the world and disc 2 sucks.
>>730835914I got bored on the boat ride so like the start of the game. That screenshot is eye rape btw.
>>730835914Solid 7/10 RPG. Had a good time, decent combat system, fun characters, actual likeable protagonist. Story was engaging enough and felt like watching a full season of an adventure anime. I played all the way through it but I probably won't replay it for a long time, if ever.
>>730835914Love Liete, love the OST.
>>730835914good but 2 is bettergrandia atb mogs the shit out of every final fantasy atb game
Very good game through and through.Wish Disc 2 didn't feel so rushed, especially towards the end.Liete is cute.
>>730835914the protag shares my name, so it's already based from that alone
>>730837869>2 is betterSprites > Shitty 1st gen low poly 3D
There is an actual track called Theme of Grandia, but I think everyone will agree that when they think of the game they think of this instead:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlizrNu14JA
>>730837869Shame Grandia 2's story goes off a fucking cliff after Mareg's village. Ryudo stops being a fun dickhead, the plot gets more and more contrived and stupid, and that worthless fuck Roan rejoins.
Kino
>>730837934>being a graphics whore
>>730838062for me it's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BOw6QPt1-g
>>730837146>liete joins the party>leen gets wet>mullen's redemptionCome on, it's not all bad.
>>730837146It's true, but "shitty" disc 2 is just a good game instead of one of the best adventures in gaming that the game is until the end of the world.Disc 1: masterpieceDisk 2: okay
>>730837882Disk 2 has the best content in the game though, the optional dungeons
>>730838264It has great beats, but too sparse. I think grandia suffers from what today RPGs still suffer from, content anxiety. Having to hit 80 hours or so can cause too much padding. I would rather have had 2 polished games with half the length of Grandia. Imagine getting the whole 1st game without padding, and a cool sequel just like happened with Lunar.
>>7308378692 is more fun to play, but the story pales in comparison to 1. It's kinda funny how the gameplay genuinely improves over the course of 3 games, yet the story goes in the complete opposite direction. If 1 did something like a character specific XP pool where it deposited an amount equal to how much you gained during a battle that you could then distribute into your weapon or magic levels, it'd be fantastic. Even if they halved the amount, that would make learning new moves and magic so much easier. t. Anon who grinded for Feena's spells that need 99 levels
why is every rpg OP incredibly low effort, like the laziest copy-paste template reddit slop ever
>>730837889I'm kinda jealous. I hope you're an ally of justice in this amoral society
>>730838847>grinding for feena
>>730838847Grandia Xtreme is even worse. Almost no story, awesome gameplay. But you redo the same dungeons at least what, 3 times?
>>730838847>spells that need 99 levelsThat was a really unfortunate bug in the PS1 port.
>>730835914Wonderful little adventure RPG. Absolute classic.Remember anon, Sue is always rooting for you, so keep trying your best out there
>>730835914Justin mom kinda hot
>>730838080The ending was so bizarre too with Millenia becoming a school marm or whatever and Elena becoming this free spirited bard
>>730839139>Tried to seduce her son to keep him from sneaking away on an adventureAt least that's my interpretation.
>>730837695>Welcome, he who bears the spirit stone...I liked that Liete more than the ditz we got
>>730835914/v/ has ruined me, i see Sue's pet Puffy and my mind goes right to the gutter.
I played it with my sister, the bit where the bad girls are in their underwear was a bit weird
I love it.Sue best girl.
>>730839263Her ditzyness was cute. I wish we got more of it.Ignoring Graveyard, Castle, and Tower, She really isn't with the party very long at all. So she doesn't get many moments to show her personality off.
>>730839581Classic 90s style anime fanservice I love it. Fuck I miss how RPGs used to be
all feenas are queens
2D anime characters over a 3D rendered background was a great effect for cutscenes and it sucks that it died out with the PS1.
>>730840636>Fuck I miss how RPGs used to beWhen modern JRPGs like Xenoblade 2 try to do it everybody calls it the cancer killing modern JRPGs lmao
Great game. Some emotional moments are hitting harder playing it again as an adult...
>>730835914This one and Ar tonelico are the only RPGs that hit me, feel like it's easily the best of all time
>>730835914COME POWER OF THE UNIVERSE
>>7308359141 best story2 best music3 best mom
>Square-Anus stills owns the distribution to 3 so no re-releaseXtreme sucks so fuck that.
is the 3rd one good?
I prefer the cool autistic combat system and music of Grandia III, despite everyone hating it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhFx83SnsOc
>>730841290You mean 3? it's okay. Definitely a production of it's time and includes a lot of 2000s edgyness but it's an ok game.If you mean Xtreme then no it sucks.
>>730840716Is Grandia the only RPG where MC travels with his wife?
>>730835914
>>730841354xtreme isn't the one on ps2, is it?
>>730841495Both of them were on the PS2.
>>730841290It's decent, least the first disc is anyway.
>>730841290Very high production value but it's super by-the-numbers when it comes to plot structure/characters. It's something you'll beat, get some mild enjoyment out of but then totally forget about it a couple days later.
>>730835914Its all right
>>730841104O' Flame~ BURN EM
>>730841290>>730841796
>>730835914>m-muh adventureHated it. Bad story, bad gameplay, absolutely fucking lame characters. Gameplay so bad it needs to be mentioned twice. Super mediocre game. Feels like one of those Dreamcast or Saturn exclusive games people pretend to like just because they were on an obscure console, but Grandia had a wide release. Anyway, it sucks.
>>730842118I bet you thought Star Ocean 2 was bad too and cried about ABS.
>>730842195Star Ocean 2 was a great game that was actually fun to play. Grandia was not.
>>730842118you sound like you gave FFXIII 10/10
>>730835914Such a shitty remaster.
>>730842118Story and Characters are subjective.But imagine actually thinking Grandia has "bad gameplay", like come on man.
>>730842118You sound like you pee sitting down
>>730842381dafuq
>>730842384It genuinely has one of the worst battle systems I've ever experienced. I have no idea what people see in it. Just terrible.
>>730842381b-but you don't understand. they HAD to slap a vaseline filter over everything, it wouldn't be "HD" otherwise!
>>730842496>It genuinely has one of the worst battle systems I've ever experiencedWhy is /v/ so hyperbolic? Do you think you're going to get people on your side by acting like a histrionic woman?
>>730842496Sorry just can't agree with you there.Yeah the way Weapon and Magic XP work can be kind of off-putting, but it's a extremely well thought-out and designed battle system. Only improved upon with 2 and Xtreme.
>>730842381You don't know what a shit remaster is, kid
>>730842723This is what happens when we let japan listen to white women. Why didn't you stop them /v/?
>>730842723DRDRDRDR is technically a remake.Yeah it's shit, but it's a different kind of shit.
NOT AS GOOD AS BREATH OF FIRE 3
>>730842723Yeah you're right, Grandia 1's remaster is a travesty. Dead Rising can at least be explained as woke shit censorship.
>>730842819It's people like this faggot right here >>730839581 who bitch and cry about SOVL who give them the leeway for censorship cause his mouthbreathing sister could handle a panty shot
>>730842381idk what the issue isPC port allows me to get top easily
>grandia 1 great>grandia 2 even better>grandia 3 literally unfinished
>>730843079OP's pic has a water mark which I'm guessing is from consoles who are stuck with the shitty remaster looking this way. Or at least I never see too many steam or PC game do those kinds of water marks.
>>730843004Trust me, you don't know what a travesty of a remaster is, kid.
>>730841357Lucia II bro. You even get married mid game rather than in the ending.
>>730843568You mean lufia 2?
sue's puffy (nipples)
>>730843069Who's bitching and who's fucking crying, I was just saying it was weird hearing a character talking about a rash in their underwear, I bet you haven't even played the game
or vulva
>>730843757Yes.
>>730841357Bro, your Dragon Quest V?
Did Final Fantasy rip off the infamous ass grab scene, what one came first
>>730841357I think Lunar has something similar, made by the same devs as Grandia, still haven't played it myself desu
Sue > Feena > Milda > Leen
>>730837869you must have brain worms thats the only way i can explain this
It's awesome but I recommend playing it on the Sega Saturn translation, it's just the best way to play it. Better controller, better console, colors pop better, better graphics, etc.
>>730842318>when the music hits at the peak of that wall i dont think any ps1 jrpg can compete
I almost finished 1I finished 2Barely remember anything
