Though I never played the Grandia games I must say I'm impresses with how this game is turning out.

Thanks, you just got me something to do!

Oh yes! I was hopeing there would me a number 3! I just made a post about how much i liked 2:) This is very good news for me:)

Well. It seems this will be exciting just like from the Grandia 2. Very well. I hope this game is translated in English.

the second was very hard so what challenge is the next one bringing im looking forward to it

I liked the second one but i only found the valmar body parts hard.

i cant beat him he is inpossible

The second one was easy as hell, I don't know what you were on when ya played the game, you beat it, right?

i think the boss was melfice

Ive completed the second one twice, it was far easier then the first I think!
I still need to complete the first! Hope the third game comes to the UK!

i think the boss was melfice

yes probably the hardest boss in the game but not impossible.

I am looking forward to grandia 3 as these games usually have good story lines behind them as well

I never really found the second one that hard but I really enjoyed it, so I'm looking forward to the third one. The only part I actually found really hard was when you were inside Valmar's body. That place is a god damn maze! I was lost for a good few hours!

Well yes it was a big maze but had good longitivity with it

I never said it was a bad thing that it was so big. I really enjoyed that dungeon. A lot of thought must have gone into making that place.

the thing that i absolutely loved about grandia was the amount and quality of dialouge, and the size of cities, etc. more convincing than your average RPG with the whole "this is the biggest city on gaia, there are 3 citizens"

and. uh. yeah. looking forward to it. 8-)

lol that is very true. I also liked the fact that you cold see the monsters and avoid them if you needed to. That was always a plus on the grandia games.

because you need the expirence points oh yeah i completed melfice and got stuck when i got off at the next iland

I can't wait! this looks so cool!, i hooked my good old dreamcast up a couple of months back and finished Grandia II, and it was one of the best RPG ive played!, really long game, fantastic battle style, and just looked amazing in general! i recently got hold og Grandia I for my PS1 but ive not got round to playing it yet!

Go here for lots of in-game screenshots from Grandia III:

but grandia 1 is really hard to get hold off i cant find it anywhere

It is hard to find, but i was shopping in my local supermarket last year and they were getting rid of some old PS1 games, so i had a look through and i found grandia! it was only like �6 aswell! :)

I hope everyone's not getting there hopes up too high for this to even come to western shores. Simply look at Grandia: Extreme. Never heard anything outside a japanese release. Not to sound too negative though, i really hope this comes out in English. Grandia 2 was what caused me to get my ps2 plus it was my first game for it. :D

it was a good reason too

Grandia Extreme came out in the States fyi.

Not in Australia, which is all that matters. ARGH!!!!

*Covers ass in attempt to not get burnt during the flames I will receive about the western shores comment*

I didn't find Grandia II challenging, the first game on the other hard was far harder. Some of the monsters in the secret dungeons were damn difficult!
I was really annoyed when Xtreme didn't come to the UK as I was so looking forward to playing a new Grandia.
I can't wait for III to come out! I wanna see what S-E can do, from the trailers the graphics looks amazing and the battle seems far improved to previous games.

what was grandia extreme

I liked the 2nd one also, but this one one looks better! Especially the girl with the blond hair she looks awesome!

I finished Grandia I twice, I'm playing now Grandia II for the second time, and I think I'll play Grandia III for the second time after I finish Grandia II :D

Good for you. Now piss off and don't revive 2 year old threads.
