I loved the first Grandia and I was very excited when I heard that there was going to be a Grandia 2. Even better it was going to be for Dreamcast with better graphics. Grandia 2 is really great. Some may not like the very linear gameplay, but I enjoy it. The characters are different and interesting and the gameplay is done very well. Also, the battle system is one of my favorites as far as RPG's go.
