Story:Grandia 2 is a 3D RPG, viewed from a top-down perspective for most of the game and a 3rd person view during battle. Controlling Ryudo, the player will explore various locations, locating townspeople and objects within an area to interact with. Towns and dungeons are displayed in the same manner, though dungeons tend to be mazes filled with monsters and towns tend to be friendly areas filled instead with conversation and shops. Any monsters present in these areas will be shown walking around. Walking over to and touching the monster in any way will activate a battle. If the monster notices the player approaching it is considered a normal battle, if Ryudo is able to approach undetected the player's party will gain the initiative in battle, if any party member besides Ryudo is approached by the enemy then the party loses initiative.Show more

Originally played this on the Sega Dreamcast, later played the PC remaster a few times, and it was my introduction to the Grandia series. I the battle system, story, characters, humor, music (my god the music!), art, and atmosphere was so good it was just one of those games I couldn't put down and was sad to see the end credits as I wanted more. After later playing the first in the series; this one is a lot shorter with less story and scope which makes it understandable why some prefer the first game, but I still consider it a worthy successor with some notable enhancements in terms of systems and gameplay. Got my girlfriend and anyone else I could to play it, and other than some gripes about the main protagonist being less than likeable in the beginning everyone loved it. It got me to seek out the original game in the series that was amazing, which also has been a formative gaming experience in my life and introduced me to other fans of the series that became friends. We still jam out to a few songs from soundtrack to this day, more than 2 decades from the original release.

A masterpiece. Exciting, Heartwarming, Saddening, Despairing, Betraying, Hopeless, Angering, Redeeming, Uplifting, all of the emotions one could feel from a phenomenally written story that truly leaves a mark in the hearts and minds of all who have played it. I've beat this game so many times, I expect I will end up coming back and replaying this game many more times over the years :) There is around 20-35 hours of gameplay depending how much you like to explore the areas and talk to NPCs. I was pleased just when I would think "aw man, is it over?" NOPE :D TIP: Play on HARD, Normal is pretty much Easy. also, Millenia gang ♥

RequitalRequital is a 2006 action RPG developed by Akella and Primal Software and released by Excalibur Publishing on the Microsoft Windows platform. According to the developers, part of the motivation in making Requital was to create an authentic 6th century Russian world for the player to explore. As such, the game veers away from anachronisms and modern fantastical elements like magic and mythological creatures. Instead, it is more centered on historical realism mixed with superstitions that existed in that period of Russian history.
