Thread: Grandia 1 !

  1. #1

    Default Grandia 1 !

    I searched for Grandia, but I couldt find any interesting threads on the 3-4 first pages :P
    So anyways!

    I made this thread because I've simply love the game Grandia!
    I want to hear what the others who have played it have to say about it and why you liked it
    When it comes to myself I really really love the characters, the battle system, the story, the music....everything is really good and mixed together.
    Hm , I've played the game several times through on the playstation version.
    I have also played Grandia II, but the first one was better

    When you play the game you get a close bound to the characters and thats really amazing how the characters have different personalities like they have.
    They mix really good into the story!
    I cant really discribe this feeling I've got when it comes to the characters in the game
    Im pretty sure I will never ever forget this game's story.
    The battle system is just insane!
    I love it so much, too bad there isnt many games with this kind of system.
    Noiyuki Iwadare has composed Grandia's music.
    There are some tracks from the game wich is unforgettable.
    When I listen to the music my emotions are awakened, some songs are sad while others are the opposite.
    This music makes me really happy.
    Just like Nobuo Uematsu and Yosunori Mitsuda's music does, and I guess most people on theese forums know their music pretty well ^^

    Well , thats about what I was supposed to write I guess.
    I hope I havent forgot anything :P
    Anyways I would love to discuss and see your opinions on what I mentioned here

    This may be a bit of a messy post :mog:

    Grandia is one of the better PS1 RPG's, I awkwardly own the Saturn version though. Grandia didnt excel in the story department in my opinion, but it had the most awesome battle system, probably my favourite. This is why Ive kept with the series. My only problem is the translation, this didnt effect the later games as much, however there stories werent as good, and considering Grandia's isnt even that great, thats not good at all. I still think they perfected the battle system in minor ways throughout the series. But its getting kinda dated now.

    They need to make a Grandia IV. They just need to take some risky moves with the battle system to get it noticed in todays RPG mix. And spend at least two days thinking about the story, not just one.

    I think the story is pretty good actually
    But when it comes to final fantasy , final fantasy is way better when it comes to storylines.

    I've played every Grandia except the first one... I have bought number 1, but just haven't had time. Anyway, I love the music and fighting in all the Grandia games, insane fun. The stories? Ehh... not so much...

    Strikethough!

    Ha! Slice you in two!

    I've been right at the end of this game now for about 6 years and I can't beat the last boss. Maybe I'll replay it and not suck so much this time.

    Reminds me of the first time I played the game!
    The first time I played it I didnt manage to kill Baal at all.
    At that time my cousin let me borrow it, so I gave up at let he had the game back.
    But then I saw the game in a gamestore, and I was like....OMG!
    I had never ever seen it ever before, I thought it was a really rare game!
    I bought it in an instant!

    Firstly;I played throught the game skilling weapons and magic a lot!
    It was pretty simple to beat then

    But I've beaten the game a few times now, but I've never ever got it 100% complete when it comes to magic levels and weapon skills.
    Thats what Im gonna do next time

    I really love this game, its amazing!
