Modelos 3D ótimos, enredo meio clichê e trilha sonora excelente, o que pega é há queda dos fps em umas áreas grandes, falo isso da versão PS2.

Trilha sonora épica: FIGHT!! Ver. 1, 3, 4, Purification of Darkness, Nightmare Village Milm, Canção do Povo.

Great 3D models, a bit cliché plot and excellent soundtrack, what catches is there is a drop in fps in some big areas, I mean this from the PS2 version.

Epic soundtrack: FIGHT!! Ver. 1, 3, 4, Purification of Darkness, Nightmare Village Milm, Song of the People.

you know, to be perfectly honest, i don't remember that much about grandia 2 besides that i had fun with it. it's a neat jrpg that's not very deep, the english voice acting is great, the church is evil, you know the drill. but (spoiler for the first 5 hours or so lmao) there's a girl who's a nun by day and a demon by night and she's better written, more likeable and has more personality than annah and fall-from-grace combined

these games came out within a year or so of each other and maybe it's not much more than a funny observation, but i think there's an insight here about the drastically diverging paths of character writing between jrpgs and wrpgs

Grandia II introduced me a marvelous and inventive combat system, a rocking soundtrack, and some fun character dynamics. Despite all this though, what I really remember most about Grandia II is the story. Grandia II tells the tale about Ryudo and Elena as he takes her across the world in order for her to complete her ritual after a botched ceremony erupts into chaos; what follows is a bunch of mishaps and badly timed events that eventually led to the gang finding out the true nature of everyone's actions and what they should do to stop it. It's really compelling to see how this story unfolds and it's honestly highlighted by the rough nature of each character as they try to get along, but ultimately aren't friends at the beginning. The actions of the characters feel real, and to see characters leave or change can be heart breaking at times, while still giving proper reasons for why each character must leave. Not to say that anything else in this game isn't stellar in it's own right, combat is very easy to pick up and provides a good enough reward system that often getting good at the game means breaking it. I can see some people being put off by Grandia II's easiness, but honestly it reminds me of Paper Mario's friendly approach and frankly we need more baby's first JRPG. It's hard not to recommend Grandia II to anyone that owned a dreamcast, and it's sad to see it gets so little attention on the switch, but Grandia II remains the hidden gem that it is

A surprisingly mature and religious themed rpg. At the time this came out on the Dreamcast, it was still pretty rare for these kinds of stories to be translated and brought over.
The graphics hold up well imo, the soundtrack still steamrolling.
If you don’t mind your main hero having Leonardo’s voice from the 80s TMNT cartoon, you should be golden.
But honestly, this game is so grand in scope and it’s characters are interesting, that it needs to be played.
The HD version is even better.

Abandoning the goofy postures, Grandia II distilled and perfected its patented combat system through various QOL fixes and remains the game's highlight, enhanced by the benefits of target info and a far more customizable skill system. The introduction of skill books/equips and repurposing magic helped accommodate a wider range of builds, although individual skills and magic would've been better off with some variety among characters.

Grandia II's plot employs greater fantasy elements on top of a serious, mature tone. However - despite sharing a penchant for powerful moments with the first, the story eventually devolves into a collection of melodramatic JRPG cliches and the tone turns preachy. Altogether, it's the dynamic, engaging combat system that salvaged much of the show.

En su conjunto, el videojuego es bastante bueno, con una historia que aunque al inicio es algo lenta, en su tercer acto es sencillamente impresionante y aún con una conclusión más bien tibia, tiene unos momentos muy destacables, musicalmente es bueno a secas, los personajes pueden ser bastante buenos y la jugabilidad es entretenida, quizá la mayor falencia es su pésimo rendimiento y en algunas ocasiones los bugs visuales que pueden ser bastante odiosos, y aunque en su versión de Dreamcast es mejor, al no ser la que jugué se queda corto y es bastante bajo que sacaran una versión para PS2 de esa manera. En general considero que aunque es bastante bueno, hacerlo algo más corto hubiera sido mejor, pues ciertas partes se sienten como que pudieron ser comprimidas y serían mejor. Una experiencia grata, con un rendimiento desagradable pero muy recomendable.
