The Granstream Saga (グランストリーム伝紀, Guransutorīmu Denki) is an action role-playing game developed by Shade, a development team in Quintet and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation. It is an intended spiritual successor to their previous Super NES titles, Illusion of Gaia and Terranigma (involving Tomoyoshi Miyazaki and Masanori Hikichi).[4] The game was released in Japan in November 1997, North America in June 1998 by THQ and Europe in February 1999.
The game takes place after a short animated sequence where Eon and Valos cut a section of land off of Shilf. After discovering a young boy has disappeared, Valos performs locating magic to find the boy in an ancient cemetery. The spirit of the Wise Man speaks to Eon here, and asks him to find and help his daughter, Arcia, to use the Orb and recite the lifting verse to raise the land. Together they make it a goal to raise the other continents as well, and set off on a journey.
