Grandia, anybody?

Well, if she didn't leave we wouldn't have had such a beautiful moment. what i wanted though was for her and any others who left to return towards endgame as playable characters and then you could choose who would accompany you. I would also have loved a direct sequel to Grandia where Sue was grown up and went on her own adventure, probably with some of Justin and Feena's Kids :D

Still havent played the first Grandia but I did play Grandia 2 if I'm not mistaken. Thats the one with the Geoblade or geosomething main character? Sadly, It was on the sega dreamcast and the CD my friend let me borrow didnt go past a certain point in the story T_T

Well, In my opinion Grandia 1 and Grandia 2 can barely even be compared xD The story in grandia ! is a bit more comedic, joyfull and adventurous. To me, it was like I started out playing adventure, and then along the way the game slowly turned into an actual adventure. It was like a journey from boy to man. I didn't really feel as great an attachment to the Characters of 2 as i did to the ones from 1. Can strongly recommend Grandia1

Compromises? in what way? I only played the PS-version, and if the sega-one is actually better i might try to get my hands on a it :D
