Originally played this on the Sega Dreamcast, later played the PC remaster a few times, and it was my introduction to the Grandia series.
I the battle system, story, characters, humor, music (my god the music!), art, and atmosphere was so good it was just one of those games I couldn't put down and was sad to see the end credits as I wanted more. After later playing the first in the series; this one is a lot shorter with less story and scope which makes it understandable why some prefer the first game, but I still consider it a worthy successor with some notable enhancements in terms of systems and gameplay.
Got my girlfriend and anyone else I could to play it, and other than some gripes about the main protagonist being less than likeable in the beginning everyone loved it. It got me to seek out the original game in the series that was amazing, which also has been a formative gaming experience in my life and introduced me to other fans of the series that became friends.
We still jam out to a few songs from soundtrack to this day, more than 2 decades from the original release.
A masterpiece.
Exciting, Heartwarming, Saddening, Despairing, Betraying, Hopeless, Angering, Redeeming, Uplifting, all of the emotions one could feel from a phenomenally written story that truly leaves a mark in the hearts and minds of all who have played it.
I've beat this game so many times, I expect I will end up coming back and replaying this game many more times over the years :)
There is around 20-35 hours of gameplay depending how much you like to explore the areas and talk to NPCs. I was pleased just when I would think "aw man, is it over?" NOPE :D
TIP: Play on HARD, Normal is pretty much Easy.
