Yup, another thread I posted recently over on NarutoFAN forums. I wonder if there's more Grandia fans on here?

How many on here have played this classic RPG?

There's no other RPG I've played quite like Grandia. It kept a very humourous tone for most of the game, winning the honour of making me laugh more than any other game. The only time it got truly serious was towards the end when Justin had to inevitably save the world, save the love of his life and become a true hero.

Here's an example of Grandia humour:

Spoiler for Grandia ending:

We are shown Justin's ship arriving in his hometown, his first visit since the story started, apparently after spending many years adventuring with Feena after the game ended. You don't actually get to see Justin and Feena at all during the ending, instead you get to meet Justin and Feena's 10-20 kids, all of whom quickly decided they wanted to catch Puffy. I had tears of laughter in my eyes when I first saw it all those years ago. :laugh

Also, Grandia reminds me of shounen manga/anime more than any other RPG:
Justin starts the story in incredibly powerless fashion; as a stupid 14 year old boy living with his mother, usually spending his free time hanging around with his 7 year old cousin and her bizarre flying pet called Puffy. His dream is to live up to the history of his family of renowned adventurers, telling everyone who will listen he'll become the greatest adventurer ever to walk the earth. Believe it!
