Same here. Grandia II was one of the best JRPGs that no one seems to have played. I also preferred it over Arcadia, though that’s primarily because I never was able to finish Skies due to my Dreamcast’s laser having alignment issues which caused it to lock up the game in battles.

I’m of the opinion now that predictable plots are what make JRPGs as good as they are at this point in time (maybe not when Grandia was released). DQ11 was trope after trope by I can’t get over how incredibly good it was.

Definitely better than Skies.  Pacing and characters were far better.

Nothing wrong with that. Grandia II is a better game for me. Recently I tried Skies of Arcadia on the GCN. Meh!

The “sense of wonder” is actually one of the best ways to describe Grandia. Thanks for the great read. It’s definitely worth its price.

Coming to iOS and Android later this fall, the chibi mobile version of Final Fantasy XV will cost between $20 and $30. The game’s split into 10 episodes. First one’s free, second and third are $.99 and the rest are $3.99 apiece. Or just buy the whole bundle for $19.99.

In reference to your cover pic...

...that’s what she said? :P

I predict that this will literally happen in the game.

Forgot about Flower! Definitely that one. I need to play Rez again. Maybe if I connect enough controllers/transvibrators to my body, I can shake my feelings out (to the beat!)

Mirror’s Edge (either one)

HER ACCENT IS EVERYTHING, SHE IS EVERYTHING I ADORE HER.

Bathing suit would be great too!
