The soundtrack for Grandia 1, especially towards the end parts of the game are magical. It really sells how grand the adventure is. Good choice playing the Saturn version too.
considering the wokification of Atlus, that arguably would've been even worse
The shitty Grandia remasters and the fact they went to LRG for physical releases put them on my shitlist forever. The Lunar remasters look promising but I'm not holding my breath.
It'll fly, just give them girldicks.
How different is the fan translation?
I wonder if that was just how Atlus would've turned out anyway or if it was due to Sega. They randomly decided to make a character black in Persona's localization way before Wokeism took over, and Persona 4 was a little faggy...
literally just the PS1 script pasted into the Saturn version, from what I can tell
Oh, I had no idea those were even different. That's interesting.
the Saturn version is actually the original, having released a year and a half before the PS1 version:
I'm not gonna lie I thought I was going to be fine with her leaving until the theme played. Also I made the mistake of having her be our only healer.
Some part of me wishes more bosses throughout the main games were as difficult as those Tower of Temptation bosses. The Grandia battle system is really great, the issue between Grandia 1 and 2 is that they're extremely easy and don't really use the battle system to the best of its ability.
GungHo is also the publisher with the distinction of being so incompetent that they fucked up paperwork for a digital release, resulting in one of their games not being available on release date in Canada because they somehow only listed it for the US on the North American PlayStation Store, and it took them WEEKS to figure it out and get it fixed.
