A tad flawed but solid collection of 2 JRPG classics whose critical bugs have been thankfully ironed out.
GRANDIA:
If you can get past the ugly sprite filter of the collection you'll find an awesome and adventurous game, with a battle system that stands the test of time. The game has its fair share of odd design decisions and a somewhat flat plot, but the sheer charm and heart make it something you have to try out at least once.
GRANDIA II:
While foregoing the lighter tone of the first game, GRANDIA II is a marked improvement over its predecessor in pretty much every way, especially the plot; additionally the battle system has been translated pretty much identically but improved thanks to a few additions and the higher-fidelity graphics, and a few archaic mechanics have been axed for much smoother ones, resulting in a game I will gladly revisit when in the mood.
