Tags: Grandia IIOur own Xero has reviewed the Console-to-PC CRPG, Grandia 2. Here's a clip:
The two are later joined on their travels by a fiery magicienne, a feral beast-man, an innocent young boy and an android learning emotions. All proud set pieces in the history of console RPG characters. None, with the possible exception of Mareg the philosophical Beast-man, have a personality that takes longer than 2 lines of text to understand and most of the personal developments our happy crew go through are of the utterly predictable kind. That being said, there?s still some very good material here. Game Arts have done a wonderful job on character interaction, making the party banter endearing and often even witty in spite of the rather simple characters. There?s even a system for having conversations over dinner whenever you stop at an inn ? certainly not the most essential feature ever, but small touches like it add a great deal of colour to what would otherwise be mostly plain characters.
So.. That's that.
