DID IT! Uuuugh I so happy to be done with this game.
Plat Difficulty 5/10 - A lot of missable trophies, most at the beginning of the game, so if you mess up starting over isn't so painful. There is one that requires you to collect all 18 Mana Eggs which can easily be missed because areas become locked after story progress and some only giving one chance to get them. Let's not forget the amassed 250000k which will not be done naturally. Finally one of them has you needing to be beat one of the most ass bonus dungeons in any JRPG. Tower of Temptation fucking sucks.
The Game itself - I love the Grandia series dearly, but replaying Grandia made we remember why I don't go back to the first one much. Super fucking grindy skill system (imagine Materia system from FF7, but you have to actually USE magic to level it up vs just having tit equipped) and a game that doesn't when when to stop; dungeons are loooooooong and maze like. No maps at all either! The last quarter of the game is just a slog to get through. Love the game but recommend GRANDIA II as a jump in point every time for newbies.
