Nice breakdown Erek, after watching this, it really makes me wanna jump into my Switch copy of the game. The original Grandia feels right up my alley, so I'm keen for that one!

In all honesty having a more light hearted and more serious jrpg in one package sounds pretty nifty!

Grandia is so great!!! I have this collection on the Switch and I’ve only played the first one so far! Can’t wait to check out the second one. Great video!

Grandia 2 Is one of my favourite RPGs of all time.

Thank you for checking out the Collection!

It's nice that they made the HD Collection with grandia 1 and 2, and I think it's worth it to buy it, but it would be better if they made it also with grandia 3 and grandia Xtreme. Those two games also deserved it to get an HD Remaster.

This is my reminder that I need to finish these games. I love the cartoon feel of it! ❤

There truly isn't a jrpg like Grandia 2. Nothing like it before or since.

Since I never did get a chance to play these in their day - I did purchase it so I can play them.

The first game is also available as a simple upscaled port on the PlayStation Store and I personally much prefer that version. It's also free for PlayStation Plus members and for whoever purchased the PS3 version of the game.

I think it's worth, I've been waiting for this since it was first announced. As a huge fan and a trophy hunter, looking forward to getting the Platinums

I remember playing Skies of Arcadia and Grandia 2 back to back on my Dreamcast. I've never played the first game so this collection, imo is a steal for $40. My only gripe is the smooth sprites....

I have the limited run switch version and it's pretty good. They did a good job with this classic

The PS2 version of Grandia 2 is surprisingly cheap, you can easily find it for a third of the price of the rerelease. Of course if someone doesn't have a PS2 that's a different story but u can buy PS2s for next to nothing on the second hand market. The first Grandia game can be bought digitally on the PS3 online store, that's how I played it. I really dislike what they did to the graphics on the rerelease, it looks liked they smeared Vaseline all over the screen, I like my pixels sharp and crisp!

I'm disappointed that you seem to LIKE the "upgraded" visuals of the original game, or that you're even calling it that. They're not upgraded at all, actually. They're ruined. The sprites are absolutely destroyed, they're artificially smoothed over and smeary and very ugly. Same with all the textures, too, they've been completely vaseline'd over with his TERRIBLE smear filter, and all of the pixellated charm of the 3D textures AND all the sprites have been eradicated. Grandia 1 looks absolutely ugly, and it's why I still emulate the game and have refused to buy this collection for taking the game on PS1 I loved and visually barfing over the whole thing. It's especially disappointing to me that you're not communicating or educating your audience at all how BAD they look in comparison to the original version of the game.
