It's a shame that such an amazing spell is almost impossible to get by normal means. Even using the Ethereal Miracle + Zil Desert + Runner cast trick, it could take you hours.

Grandia is one of my favorite RPG series, and i know im not the only one in the west. Grandia 1 and 2 are instant classics. Grandia 3 had great gameplay but fell into a jeneric JRPG plot and characters. Xtreme was a dungeon crawler with little story aswell.

End result: I dont know why they stopped doing them. Maybe the budget for 3 went overboard, but i do think this series is worth carrying on. It has the best combat system ever seen in an RPG and its a shame to see it go like this.

The LotR RPG uses a similar system. Skills have a different set of "EXP" (Down to each category of skills, e.g "Black Magic" and "White Magic" don't level together) than the "Level Up" EXP. This made the combats even more annoying since you HAD to farm random encounters over and over again, having to sink in massive amounts of time and the respective points to use the skill to level your skills up. Ugh...

I've heard about this franchise, but i never got around to trying it.

On that note, I am replaying one of my favorite RPGs, Final Fantasy XII. I just got it from amazon last week and I'm planning to actually finish it this time, since the first time i played it, i borrowed it from my cousin and he took it back without me finishing it.

My all time favorite JRPG series. The Grandia series was an absolute joy to dump hours into playing. The best combat system ever devised and staggering that a sequel or even spiritual successor has not come along.

I would buy ANY system that has Grandia IV or even an HD remake of previous entry. It was so far ahead of its time that even in 2013 going back and playing it feels fresh to me. My favorite is Grandia II and rare game I would give a flawless rating to, I suggest anyone who enjoys JRPGs to play it.

get outta here tbh

Am i gonna have to report the grammar police again? If you have a problem with it and wish to correct me, feel free to send me a proper PM with what you think is wrong and i will fix it. If you're gonna spout cryptic off-topic nonsense, dont post at all. I couldnt care less what you think of my writing.

This is a video-game forum, not an english literature one. We debate games here, we dont debate pretty writing.

If you have an opinion on the topic or the debate bring it forth. If not, maybe you should get outta here "tbh".

Thank you for writting an article about Grandia .
