  • A promotional video tape that given away at Tokyo Game Show in Spring of the year 2000 that is a preview of the Game Arts sequel to Grandia (Sega Saturn, Sony PS1), Grandia II for the Dreamcast. The tape itself is of pretty cheap quality--after all, it was a free promotional item--and other Sega games got similar tapes around this era. Grandia II was one of my favorite games on the Dreamcast, one I revisited many times in my youth...if you've not played it and have a chance, play it on the DC over the PS2 (less than optimal port) and from what I hear, the Switch version.

    I say this with love, Grandia 2 is a great B tier RPG

      One of the best of the B-tier RPGs--when it was released, though, I thought it was S-tier.

      While I do have a week and a half off, and I am so happy for that, I've been prepping these uploads for weeks now (and everything is scheduled). I am currently replaying through Seaman on the Dreamcast for a new video I am trying to make since my old footage seems to have been deleted. Anyway, hope you're doing well! Let's catch up sometime.

    Really liked this rpg back in day. Feel its kind of shallow now though.

      I think it's severely overlooked and was such a big deal when it was released. Good story (my God, that ending), fantastic graphics, and voice acting that was some of the best of the era. I remember the day my parents bought me this. I haven't played it from start to end in over two decades, so it might be shallow in retrospect, but I feel it deserves more praise/respect in the grand(ia) scheme of things.
