Grandia | The Gold Standard

Grandia was originally made for the Saturn in 1997, but… you know, it was only available in Japan. Did you play the Saturn version? Anyway, the game made its way over to the PS1, where it quickly found a place the hearts of JRPG fans at the time for its fun story and cast coupled with a great, peppy battle system. Over 25 years later, its reputation has fostered a solid following that appreciate the title for the cozy atmosphere and lovable presentation, but is it really worth playing for newer JRPG fans? Let’s take a long trek across the lands in search of an answer. Or at least, the one I’m able to provide.
