GRANDIA II HD Remaster Reviews

A great RPG of the time, and still fun to play today. Would recommend!

If you like old school JRPG's then this is for you. Despite being and old game its combat system is still unique and interesting even by todays standards. The story is kinda troupey but considering the game came out in 2000 its troupes weren't nearly as played out as they are today. Takes about 30-35 hours to beat and all the achievements can be gotten in one playthrough with a guide and some planning.

My 1st childhood JRPG. Grandia 2 features one of the most immersive and unfortunately underused battle systems I've ever played. The characters themselves are loveable and though many would coin the story as generic and linear for younger players it's a remarkable way for them to become exposed to the concepts of the darker aspects of human nature, the seven deadly sins and what it means to be human in spite of them.

great port of a fantastic old school jrpg. i highly recommend this remastered version if: 1) you want to play a hard mode that barely makes the game anymore difficult 2) you enjoy crashes that can happen at any time (4 crashes in my ~30 hour playthrough) 3) you think 30 fps outside of combat is a bold design choice, not a limitation 4) you don't want any quality of life upgrades from the original game 5) you don't have a very generous sailor friend who lets you try games for free

Reports of crashing are real. Do not buy

It was a real pleasure to play through this classic again. Though some of the dialog is a bit dated now, the combat system is a model in the genre. However in my case, the game keeps crashing right after defeating the penultimate boss. I just can't proceed past this fight and it is extremely frustrating to be denied the very last bits of the game.

Oldschool masterpiece BUT! NONSTOP CRASHING unplayable unlucky 20 euro for this shit port

Crashes often. Seriously a pain. Just want to play through. Tried the same area after a crash and got to within sight of the next save point and crash. This port sucks.

Beware of false advertising! Everyone involved in porting this game to Steam should be ashamed of themselves. Game crashes so frequently as to be effectively unplayable unless you're interested in just grinding in circles around a save point without progressing the story much. Also not sure where the "HD Remaster" comes in, since it's visually identical to what I had on my PS2 over 20 years ago. Save your money, time, and patience. Grandia II is a fantastic game; this port is not.

Not even but 3 hours into this and it's crashed right to desktop 4 times at completely random moments... Are you serious..? You just had me pay you for a game I can't even play??? The fuck.
