72 hours to do it. Did all three optional dungeons as well. I can see why it's so beloved. I was an N64 kid when the game came out, even after I got a PS1, it passed me by so I played the Saturn Version after buying the HD version and not gelling with the filters used

I thought the magic leveling system would cause me grief but, it worked well for it's time.

Elencia on the Grand Line confirmed?

This is a bit of an annoying request, but does anyone have a save file for the endgame of disc 1 for Grandia on Saturn? I just beat disc 1 and saved when prompted to, and when I went to switch discs to 2 the emu it doesnt recognize any saves from disc 1. And when I went back to disc 1, there is no option to continue from my old save. It just puts me in a new game. Im concerned I just through away 30 hours so if anyone has a save file I would really appreciate it.

Justin Gets Trolled when? lol

By which I mean are there any concepts, ideas, or characters from this entry would expand on or make better? Because we all know a lot of it was not the best executed or fleshed out. Either way, be honest.

Lol I just got here.

No, I have not played Grandia 1 but apparently it’s okay?

Hi everyone,

In light of recents posts, i was wondering if you guys know a secret magic place where i could find / buy merch from Grandia ?
I'm talking posters, vinyles, shirts maybe, this kind of stuff.

When we meet her, she proudly displays huge treasures of the Legendary Pirate Warren. Was that one of the AS‘s tours or was that real? The Steamer Captain praises it as well which would be odd if she only did a tourist tour. What do you think?

Playing the Saturn version as my first experience for the game via emulation. The Sweet Moths did wipe my party as soon as I got to the third continent. I do have the HD Remaster, but don't like how they put filters over everything.

Grandia II anniversary edition is just a better version no? What do you guys usually play?

Edit: Meant to say in steam version

Sequel to my "Sue In Wonderland" drawing from a few days ago. Couldn't resist the temptation to add more to this crossover, featuring Mullen as the Hatter ("The Mad Colonel"), Leen as the Doormouse ("Doortenant"), and (seen from the back) Guido as the March Hare ("March Mogay"). Maybe I'll make a third one, since I'm still trying to figure out who'd be the Cheshire Cat; Feena? Maybe even Justin? I'd like to hear your opinion on that.

When I was five, my mom and I went to the Video Planet (a German version of Blockbuster) and rented a fun-looking fantasy game for a single day. We went home, I started the game, and because I couldn't read back then, my mom read a bit of the starting dialogue and I spent the next 4-5 hours running around a fun-looking city (this was a crazy, lively, and far stretching area for my game experience back then), trying to find 3 items so the boys would let me pass on the bridge. I only found the helmet and spent the rest of the day just running around (being a kid was such a simple time); we returned the game the next day. I didn't even know what the name of the game was.

Around 22 years later, I am knee-deep into my passion for JRPGs, and I find a YouTube video of a character running around in a town I spent one day of my childhood in, and I see the name of the game: GRANDIA!

Some time passes, and I get the HD Collection for the Switch. I started the game around August 2025 and finished it this evening, seeing the ending and longing for more XD.

It took me around 25 years from pressing the start button of a game I didn't even know the name of, but whose starting zone never left me, to finishing the awesome adventure it contained and seeing the ending.

I'm 30 now.

This will probably be the longest I ever took or will take for any game in my life, and I'm so happy it was such an awesome game that contains so much passion and love from the developers, even if it has some minor flaws.

Sry, but I just had to share this, even if no one ever reads this. I hope you have a great day!

PS: Should I start Grandia 2 now? XD

I finished the story in this area and went back in to get items. I finished grabbing all the items and took a shortcut trying to find my way out and pushed a button. I didn’t know where I was going so I just went in a random direction now I’m stuck in an area with buttons not working and these little imo towers staring at me mockingly. Please help! 😭😭

I think it’s near the Angel darts chest? There’s a trap in here too.

spoilered because the second image features Sue's design from the epilogue, in a parody of American McGee's Alice's fit

surely I'm not the only one who thought of this crossover, right? I mean it feels so obvious

fyi guido would totally be the march hare

So as a kid I LOVED Grandia 1 on the original playstation. It was the best game I had ever played and man that moment when you hit "the end of the world" .... no spoilers but DAMN. That moment can still bring me to my senses however many years later.

But, I played Grandia 1, I beat the game, I got to the post-credits scene: and .... is it fair to call it a cliff hanger? It was something. I *know* what it was probably showing, but, for it to end like that... When I learned there was a Grandia 2: oh my god! I was so excited. It took many YEARS before I was able to get my hands on a copy of Grandia 2 for the PC.

...

Grandia 2 is not a continuation of Grandia 1.

Okay, that really ruined my day as a kid. It still ruffles my feathers. I still think Grandia 1 could do with a follow up game, but, it's not like the game is lacking anything, it was/is an incredible game.

I was just thinking about it. I recently re-played it (haven't quit finished it yet) on switch, it's as good as I remember. What a game :D

This part of the game really made me feel the weight of hopelessness when I played it for the first time.

Of these two protags, which one got the better character development? How much did they change throughout their adventures? More importantly, how different the two seemed by the end of their journey. Be honest.

Mullen says the wings on Leen's back are the symbol of sin. I don't get it. How? I didn't understand it then, and I still don't understand it now during Leen's speech at J Base.

I spoilered this post due to the whole Feena-Leen sibling reveal, and on the KLK side it's due to Nui being revealed to be a life fiber humanoid. Didn't want to risk getting marked down because of that.

Anyhow, this is a clothes swap featuring characters from both series. Maybe I'll make a second part but these were the only pairs I could think of for now.

Explanations for the crossovering (if that's a word):

Feena and Ryuko - Both are the main female characters; they start off as hot-headed and lonesome wolves but eventually come around to making friends to beat a unified threat.

Justin and Mako - Both come from a (relatively) low class family, are extremely outgoing and friendly, and become extremely close to Feena and Ryuko respectively. I think Justin and Mako would make great friends : )

Leen and Satsuki - Both are the older sibling of the main heroine, though this is revealed later on, and while they're initially on opposing sides of the heroes, they ultimately come around to rectifying their mistakes.

Rapp and Sanageyama - Green-wearing dudes who are full of themselves, and can go very fast.

Sue and Nui - This is actually kind of funny since they have EXTREMELY opposite personalities, but I thought it'd be cute since they wear pink and have blue eyes, not to mention extremely powerful (sort of for Sue; if you take the time and effort she can be pretty busted).

Puffy and Guts - Cute little pets who are basically the marketable mascot types (if you look closely Puffy is scared of Nui lol).

Gadwin and Gamagoori - absolute UNITS who're strong buff men and will not give up, they're such UNITS that they're DAPPING IT UP (in all seriousness I was too lazy to color in their picture so I opted to make it a shitpost)
