Title
Abandoning the goofy postures, Grandia II distilled and perfected its patented combat system through various QOL fixes and remains the game's highlight, enhanced by the benefits of target info and a far more customizable skill system. The introduction of skill books/equips and repurposing magic helped accommodate a wider range of builds, although individual skills and magic would've been better off with some variety among characters.

Grandia II's plot employs greater fantasy elements on top of a serious, mature tone. However - despite sharing a penchant for powerful moments with the first, the story eventually devolves into a collection of melodramatic JRPG cliches and the tone turns preachy. Altogether, it's the dynamic, engaging combat system that salvaged much of the show.

    use auto-fight for everything because you can get away with it and then wonder why the game was boring

    Single worst ending of any JRPG I’ve played

      Could have been a decent game if it didn’t completely nosedive in the last few hours

    such a creative battle system wasted on hallmark particulars that bring down the subgenre. fights provide little resistance and the joy of adventuring from grandia 1 is completely forgotten.
