The Intro theme to Grandia. This could also be described as the theme of my RPG life, see the Game Comments below for what I mean.
Game Comments:
Grandia is one of my six favorite games of all time, and the RPG that made me an RPG fan. This game came out in Europe in 2001, published by UbiSoft for whatever reason, and for some reason I was super excited about it. I hadn't been an RPG fan up until that point, despite playing some allegedly good games like Lufia II or Final Fantasy VII (I personally don't like VII that much). I actually pestered my father to drive me to town to see if a certain store broke the street date (it usually did) and get it a day early, and of course, he also had to borrow me the money to buy it. That night, I stayed up till 10:30 pm to play the game. I usually always went to bed at 10 pm back then, so at that time, my mother walked into the room and asked me if I had gone insane. It was the first time in years I stayed up past 10 pm to play a game, not counting weekends of course...
I have a lot more to say about this game. Next video.
