Just finished Grandia for the first time and holy shit, i didn't expect it to be this good.
They don't make jrpgs like this anymore.

>They don't make jrpgs like this anymore.
They do. You just haven't played them.
>>385927825
tfw the undub patch was never finished
>>385928071
Name a few.
>>385928258
I refuse to play this game until a full non-broken undub gets released.
>>385928306
Fairy Fencer F
Omega Quintet
Trails of Cold Steel
>>385928342
Same. The dub is fucking atrocious
>>385927825
One of my favorite PS1 jrpgs. 2 is also pretty good. Xtreme was meh to me, even though the combat was still fun from what I rememeber, and 4 disappointed me.
>>385928716
>he thinks these hold a candle to Grandia
bruh
>>385928716
The only good series on that list is Trails, which is also very niche.
>>385927825
I really appreciated how it was always a challenge all the way through. It never felt like there was any hand holding at all. Granted, I was a dumbass back then and missed out on a lot of things. Still a memorable experience all the same.

This and skies of arcadia are my 2 favorite JRPGs. Maybe it was because I was younger but the feeling of being on a grand adventure was pretty great in those. I played FFVIII and IX aswell but for some reason they didn't feel as good. I think it was because the story had a slightly darker tone in FF.
>>385928716
nigga shut the fuck up
>>385930556
Yes, I also had a hard time getting into FF compared to Grandia.
>>385927825
With the exception of technical problems with the PS1 port and the atrocious dub, this game is perfection.
>>385928342
Non broken ? How hard would an undub be ?
>tfw no Grandia 1&2 HD remaster
>tfw no Chrono Trigger & Cross HD remaster
>tfw no Xenogears HD remaster
>tfw no Vagrant Story HD remaster
why does my heart... feel so bad?
>>385927825
If you haven't played them check out Lunar 1 and 2. They were precursors to Grandia and fall under that same "adventurous JRPG" bracket minus the awkward 3D.
>>385927825
I'm trying to think of one Jrpg on the X360, Xbone, PS3, PS4 or PC that comes even close to it and not even a single one comes to mind... The closest thing would be either Ni No Kuni or Lost Odyssey but to me these 2 are more like 7/10 and 6/10 games. Then there's Xenoblade but the series in genral are some of the most overrated games in history. There's also Persona 5 but that game's more like a visual novel with some gameplay on the side, so not quiet the same.
There's a shit ton of goo Jrpg's on the PS2 tho.

I want a grandia 3 remaster. That was my first game, and I enjoy it wholly.
>>385931753
Because you can't really remaster PS1 games short of remaking them. Grandia 2 got the Anniversary Edition which is about as close as you'll get with older assets.
>>385931580
Ask the guy who got the story voices down but still hasn't done anything about the battle voices after more than ten years.

Lost Odyssey was great. The combat could've used some spice, but overall i really enjoyed it.
>play Grandia 2 on Dreamcast
>seems okay, but feels very repetetive
>realise it's because the whole game follows the same pattern of 'village - dungeon - boss - village - dungeon - boss'
I managed to finish it, but I can't say I enjoyed it. I played Skies of Arcadia not long after, and it was infinitely superior.
>>385932496
I see. It's probably flag related, since I know a few clips change between discs.
>>385927825
It was super cute and I really like it
I wish I could play it on the switch
