Hello! My name is Stew Tube and I love JRPGs. I am on a mission to obtain and experience every JRPG from the Sony Play Station era! I hope you choose to follow me on this journey! You never know when I will be playing your favorite one!

So essentially I stream a JRPG from start to finish then take a few weeks and formulate some form of review or tribute video! I finished streaming Grandia a few weeks ago and these are my final thoughts! The Good the Bad and the Ugly.

What is Grandia?

Grandia is a series of role-playing video games that have been developed by Game Arts throughout the whole series and have been published over the years by ESP Software, Sony Computer Entertainment, Ubisoft, Hudson Soft, Enix, Square Enix and GungHo Online Entertainment. The latest installment is published by GungHo Online Entertainment with the game entitled Grandia Online. Games in the Grandia series have been released for Sega Saturn, PlayStation, Dreamcast, Game Boy Color, PlayStation 2 and Microsoft Windows. The Grandia + Grandia II HD Remaster collection will be released for Nintendo Switch and Microsoft Windows (Steam) sometime in 2019; Grandia II HD Remaster will have further improvement updates for the PC version, replacing the already released HD remastered Grandia II Anniversary Edition.

The Grandia series sold 2 million units, as of April 2009. The latest installment was released for Microsoft Windows in July 2009 entitled Grandia Online; its services remained online for three years until they shut down in 2012

Grandia's story focuses around Justin, a young boy who desires to be a great adventurer. While investigating a ruin of the lost Angelou Civilization, he hears a mysterious request to come east and find out the secret of why these ancients mysteriously disappeared. The resulting adventure takes Justin across the sea to new continents, and even beyond the known end of the world. Graphically, the game used character sprites in a 3D world, rather than polygonal character models that later came to favor. The battle system, like Game Arts' Lunar series before it, placed emphasis on the combatants' location in the field. However, while Lunar only allowed the player to set the team's position in battle, Grandia had characters move to appropriate positions during battle and allowed the player to have them move elsewhere to avoid attacks or reach a more advantageous position. Also notable was how characters could counter or disrupt enemy attacks.


Grandia on Nintendo Switch 2019 has also been announced! Always happy to see a classic find its way to a modern console!
