Now that is sweet news. Are you excite, SW?

well thats pretty random.

why the 2nd game and not the first?

I already have it on Dreamcast, I'm just happy that this is going to come out and popularize it. I expect since this will increase the popularity it will also increase the demand for the Dreamcast version and make it more valuable.

only played the third one but i remember liking it, guess i will give it a go when i get time. PC needs more jrpgs.

Meh, it didn't age well. And it was quite a generic jrpg IMO.

The second game already released on PC before, while the first one didn't.

Wow I remember my bro playing this over a decade ago.

I was hoping they would bring it to Wii U and Next Gen, but it looks like they are going to focus squarely on PC. Its a shame. I still got the PS2 version so I'll pass.

Meh.

The game was nothing special.

Remind me when Legend of Legaia, Skies of Arcadia and Baten Kaitos get HD remakes. I'll be very excited then

Mmmmm

Got all those as well. Good games. The gamecube Skies was the better version though, I have them both. Man I want that game to get a sequel.

Keep in mind Grandia 2 is just getting released in HD which is not a remake.

It's akin to emulating it at a higher resolution.

We can already do that with all the games you listed.

I was playing Skies of Arcadia at 2560x1440 in Widescreen a while ago.

never was a fan JRPG's , too cratoonish. there are lot of great PC games that still have no remastered version like Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines

I remember playing Grandia 1,2 and Xtreme on my PS2 but not 3.

I might buy this because of nostalgia.

Think I still have the old PC version, with the terribly pixelated cinematics somewhere. It's quite generic but very fun. Since I loved it, I'll buy this version too, for nostalgia if nothing else.

@RyviusARC:

Man, you have some really nice gameplay videos bro.

It only has one of the best turn based battle system ever made. So good is still inspiring new games like Ubisoft's Child of Light.

I'd imagine getting the second one looking better would be easier as it's all polygonal and would upscale well. But the first would require you to redraw most of the sprites for them to be at an acceptable standard.

Awesome, one of my favorite protagonists ever. Just ignore the ridiculous outfit.

I loved Grandia 2 back in the day. Wish it was getting put on PS3 too.

Grandia 2 was one of my favorite games of that glorious (PS2/GC/Dreamcast/xbox) era

NOICE!!

I loved Grandia I & II back in the days. I really enjoyed the fun gameplay, charming characters, and almost Ghibli/Miyazaki-like adventurous feel. The stories were pretty cliche, but that didn't bother me, since the characters, and their relationships and banter, were what really made the stories enjoyable. Grandia III was a disappointment though.
