Grandia

Enhanced details to UI, sprites, and texture art.
Original cinematic videos receiving visual enhancements
Widescreen support and customizable resolutions for PC
Addition of MSAA, bloom, normal mapping, and blur effects
Steam cards and Achievements
Japanese Audio & English Subtitles
Language Support: English & Japanese
Digitally converted game manual
Utilizing PS1 & Sega Saturn source code
Gamepad and keyboard support with remappable controls

Grandia II

Digitally converted game manual
Utilizing Grandia II Anniversary Edition source code, which originally was based on the Sega Dreamcast source code
Fix PC video/audio desync and switch to XInput
Add support to exit to title
Japanese Subtitles added, for Switch version


Basically, the Grandia II remaster re-release is just an updated version of the one they did last year. Means little if you own the game on PC already, but it's a good thing for Switch owners. I'm going to buy the shit out of it on Switch, because my system needs more games.

Pity the Grandia series stopped. While the plot for all 4 games are pretty subpar, I still believe their battle system is one of the best.

Seriously?? I assume youve never played Xillia, in that case.

All that discussion about battle systems is a moot point, considering FFX has the definitively best of all time.

Only Symphonia so far. I'm looking forward to the Vesperia release.

Were any new areas/bosses added to the Anniversary Edition? I loved Grandia 2, but it had 0 challenge.

Had a quick read about it. Sounds like a generic "equip your best shit and hope for the best" system.

I really liked Symphonia, but you have to be careful with that series. Xillia and Xillia 2 were two of the worst games I have ever played. Be sure to read up on them.

I liked Xillia, but didn't like its FFX-like corridors for dungeons and world exploration. Xillia 2 was just lazy, though I hear the story is better in it. My ranking of top 5 Tales of games:

1) Vesperia
2) Berseria
3) Hearts R
4) Symphonia
5) Tie between Abyss and Eternia

You must have confused Xillia with another title, then, because the combat was ridiculous. Also, gameplay tutorials flashed on the screen and instantly disappeared, forever.

That game created a very uniquely uncomfortable atmosphere. It felt like I was waking up from anesthesia, playing the second game.

Grandia's magic system is fucking crazy as fuck. And the grind in the game is tedious.
