I don't know, Grandia 2 is arguably better than the first. 3 however is a whole other story. The game drops in quality so suddenly as soon as you start Disc 2.

Grandia 3 never got a PAL release so i never got the opportunity to play it sadly. Ive watched clips of it on youtube and the battle system dosent look that bad at all. Does it get repetitive at all? 

It's not so much that it gets repetitive but rather they get rid of two likeable characters and just cram in 2 others without any sort of character development. Then there's a huge level spike on disc 2. Despite being able to beat the final boss on disc 1, the enemies on disc 2 were really sticking it to me unless I grinded. The combat is a highlight if anything.
