Playing Grandia for the first time, what am I in for?

masonic garbage

>>717545034 (OP)
Kino

it was excellent when i was 11 and had hours, days, weeks to play without worries
i like the weapon and magic leveling system, the music, and exhausting all the dialogue with every party member/every npc, every time you finish a section they'll have something new to say

>>717545034 (OP)
Are you actually playing the crappy PS port?

>>717545034 (OP)
fun. my copy was stolen in a break in ;_;

collect all the joke weapons

Fun, a sense of adventure, happy 90s Japanese-ness.

This is the RPG equivalent of a 90s saturday morning cartoon
Whether you like it or not is determined by that

Thanks for the rec, downloading the ROM right now

A fun but a bit sloppy port of a Saturn game weighed down by the english dub.

>>717545641
Bro, nobody bought a Saturn

>>717545034 (OP)
Movie game slog

This was the first game I ever bought online. It took 3 weeks to arrive. Every day I'd come home from school and ask if it had come. Great game.

You're playing a Saturday morning cartoon
The endgame spells are good so grind for them when you can

>>717545034 (OP)
Stop right now, delete your save if you saved, and play the Saturn version instead

>>717545641
yeah

>A luminous empire. An ominous secret. An unbelievable, intriguing adventure.
had me

>>717546228
Not that other guy, but the Saturn version was translated not so long ago. It's worth trying out. I just needed the bios for Beetle Saturn.

>>717545034 (OP)
best opening

I'm sorry you let other men fuck you in the ass only to find out you have to be a satanist the rest of your life faggot

>let other men fuck you in the ass
That's Catholicism

>>717547785
What does this have to do with video games? Sperg

>>717548029
the game is filled to the brim with masonic symbolism

A good game but the optional dungeon (A tower) that you can do early is one of my most miserable gaming experiences to date.

I did have fun breaking the final boss with a party member who can stop time for like 8 solid turns, good stuff. You'll start at the south-west in this here map.

>>717548065
Ok sperglord go ahead and post examples

>>717545034 (OP)
>ps1 version
pure garbage

>>717546329
The one time my parents really listened and bought a game
>had PS1 Jampack demo disc
>played both parts of the demo many times
>see the game in the display case at target
>want it for christmas
Also got a couple DBZ shirts with characters I didn't know yet since we'd only gotten up to frieza

you'll experience the music turning to shit as soon as you get to the second half. the game is best before that imo

>>717545034 (OP)
Grind your weapons, like Secret of evermore

>>717548194
very cool

A playable Ghibli movie

NTA but I miss old school video game promotional material. The OG FF7 TV spot is so kino.

Fucking goosebumps, man.

Grandia 2 is better

>Grandia 2 is better
I like Grandia 2 as well but it’s edgy typical JRPG trope “the church is evil” slop compared to 1.

>>717549371
nta, but protag is pretty cool. They don't build then like him anymore

slow down
and, either finding sweet grind spots to level up all your stuff fast and break the difficulty or not doing that and getting stun locked by bosses.

>>717549371
Grandia Parallel trippers on gbc isnt bad not sure about Grandia 3 got to where plane takes off and you leave the hot mom :/ also Extreme is 10|10

>>717551475
Grandia 3 is good at the beginning, then it begins to run out of budget after 10 hours because GameArts starts to go bankrupt.

Still better than that abomination Lunar Dragon Song at least.

>>717549753
Or stop being a retard and stunlock the bosses first. This is one of the most piss easy games ever. There's no need to grind, not even for the bonus dungeons

>>717545581
>exhausting all the dialogue with every party member/every npc, every time you finish a section they'll have something new to say
This was the Trails before Trails, and did it better than that franchise too since your party actually talked back.

>>717545034 (OP)
It's a good game, but the game is so damn easy that the battle system is completely wasted on in.

>>717548194
>Also got a couple DBZ shirts with characters I didn't know yet since we'd only gotten up to frieza
I loved that shit back then. GT Final Bout felt like a game from the future.

For me it was running away in the wee hours of sunrise and finding your moms letter, climbing the wall, telling the loli to go home, not being a bitch a going after your girl as well as the epilogue scene.

>>717545034 (OP)
Its a fun, lighthearted JRPG. You'll know in the first ~15 minutes if its "for you" or not.

>>717545641
The Saturn version is absolutely the definitive version, but the PS1 port isn't awful (its also significantly easier to actually start playing since the average house probably has a dozen electronic devices inside it that are capable of playing PS1 games). Mostly he'll just be missing some graphical effects and he'll be stuck with the English VA.

Amusingly enough the Dreamcast version of Grandia 2 is also much better than the PS2 port, but it doesn't really matter since the PC remaster is available and cheap and is the best way to play it these days.

>>717546593
Emulating the Saturn is full retard when you can drop $100 on a nip console, $40 on a 5-in-1 memory cart that boots pirated games, and $10 on a stack of CDRs.

>>717555575
Spending 150$ is better than amulating the game for free?

>>717555679
Spending $150 to play a retro game on native hardware is better than emulating it for free, yes.

If you can't afford $150 than mow some lawns or get a McJob.

one of the best jrpg's of its time, enjoy

>>717555803
Nah. I'll just play it for free.
Go back to /vr/ and stay there with other autismos.

>>717555575
You also need a CRT.
And space to put all that shit.

>>717555575
Is there a way to unfuck the PC version? I bought both games on steam a while back but I only played Grandia 2.

>>717545034 (OP)
just play the hd remaster

>>717545034 (OP)
Grandia 2 is my favorite. Nothing special about these games, they are generic as generic gets when it comes to JRPGS. But in a way, that's what makes them comfy.

A reminder that JRPGs were good once.

>>717556721
Yeah, that was a looooooooooong time ago.

>>717545416
