this game was boring. there is little room for adventuring & the graphics are dull at best. i didn't even bother to finish the game because it seemed pointless. |

I have to admit, the version of this game I played was the Dreamcast one. That said, I haven't heard of any significant differences between the two.
IMO, console RPGs rarely compare well to PC ones, despite invariably being more polished. Grandia is a lot like the FF series in many ways - overlong, with a plot that feels like it's been wrung for every single *drop* of mileage. It's not awful... some of the characters seem a little more interesting than your average run-of-the-mill ones. Sadly, by the end, they all realise the 'error of their ways,' and become boring little yes men.
Oddly, the game designers show a certain awareness of some of the more tiresome aspects of console RPGs in particular, but their idea of parodying them tends to be so indistinguishable from the genuine article that they'd have done better not to have bothered.
I started out quite liking this, but by the time it ends, every original, clever, or interesting aspect has been drowned by a veritable tidal wave of sentimentality.
Worth playing for *real* RPG nuts, if you can find it going cheap, but otherwise not really worth wasting time with.
Oh, and in all fairness, the soundtrack contains some pretty impressive tunes, though it has its fair share of clunkers, and I've certainly heard better. |

Very good combat system, with decent Graphics for it's time. Plot is slightly over done, but this game isn't for the plot, it's the battles. They are highly playable :) I'm on my third rerun :D |

Some good features in combat and to upgrade characters. They really tried to do something original about the gameplay.
The story is just boring. The graphics made me think this game was released some years ago. |
