Apr 2, 2024The GRANDIA HD Collection is the only way to experience these two great titles on modern platforms. Both Grandia and Grandia 2 stand the test of time with great writing and characters and a unique combat and skill upgrade system. It's just a shame that not enough was done to provide quality-of-life upgrades. The only real updates these games have received are game visuals and widescreen support.

Mar 26, 2024Grandia HD Collection needs to be seen from two perspectives. As a game, it features two excellent and charismatic adventures with one of the best turn-based combat systems in JRPGs, highly recommended for anyone who enjoys the style. However, as a collection to relaunch old games, only the bare minimum was done, without extras or quality of life improvements. Even with the important step of bringing the games to more current platforms, these versions have technical flaws and are far from being definitive.
