    The game seriously rocks. The battle system's unique and very addictive and the character development is far beyond what many games have accomplished. At the end of the game you'll feel like you've known the characters all your life.

    Even years after its original release date, the fast-paced combat makes it stack up against other RPGs.

    One of the greatest RPG's for dreamcast. Grandia II provides excellent graphics, characters, and battle modes. Aside from a few minor plot holes, this game has everything a great RPG needs.

    This game is great! I do not see how any other game can beat this. (Sword of The Berserk Guts Rage comes close though)

    Despite that accursed mazes you find throughout the game, its still an awesome title. A very deep storyline and the surely some of the best characthers you will ever see. The storyline is extremely touching, deep, ingenious, sad and humurous. This is surely one of the greatest RPGs up to date, even if you have already played FFX like me you will surely be not disappointed. I cant wait for the next title *-*!! Expand

  1. The great combat system and engaging story truly make the game a gem, not only on the Dreamcast but in the RPG genre as a whole.
  2. What you have here is simply the greatest RPG that has ever been created. And while I put "Skies of Arcadia" right up with it, it's still a big number 2.

    If you love RPGs and are looking for a compelling story with well-written characters, good graphics and a strong soundtrack, Grandia II is about as good as it gets!
