This Game is so good

User Rating: 8.6 | Grandia II PS2
At first, I didn't enjoy this game. At first, I was completely turned off. At first, I was angry at myself for paying $50 right when this game came out. At first... Having bought this game after finishing Final Fantasy X, I was put off by this game. The sloppy port, seen with minor graphical glitches, battle glitches, and somewhat dated voice-over methods, really turned me off. I put the game down and just didn't want to play it again. And then something magical happened. One day, a year or so later, I sat down and threw in Grandia II - afterall, I needed to beat it to buy a new game. Hours and hours later, I'm still playing the game... and having fun! The gameplay and battle mechanics make you want to continue playing. There's really no other way to explain it. Once you taste the feeling for the battle system and get over the learning curve, the problems with the graphics, sound, glitches, etc. are simply minor annoyances. Some people will be completely turned off by these problems, but do yourself a favor and pick up this game if you see it. I'm sure you can find it in a bargain bin for less than $20 these days. As for me, it's a treasure in my collection and I'll never let go of it
