I remember owning the original on PS1 and Grandia 2 on the Dreamcast. Were great games for their time.

Yeah I had to get the second imported from the UK. I was going to play the first on Saturn but might wait on this HD version.

I missed out when LRG did their Grandia run for Switch but somehow managed to find a guy selling it on marketplace IN Brisbane for a decent price. Very fucking lucky.

I'm taking a break from LRG for a bit.. over a year to get the switch version of Radiant Silvergun.. that's enough to cool my heels.

Oh shit! This is awesome news.

Not going to lie though, I wanted to play Grandia 1 on the Saturn...

Edit: Preordered. The first physical game I'll have for this generation. Needless to say, I'll probably buy the digital version as well.

It's a poor port of the PSX version which was a poor port of the Saturn version. But I'm sure you could still enjoy it. Just annoying that the lazy devs make money.
If you're bored and wanna read why they're lazy, some super autist does a great breakdown of it in a steam guide.

I played Grandia 2 on the dreamcast, but had to sell it before I could finish it. Was stoked to find a PC port in EB back in the day. Later played 1 & 3 on emulators and bought physical copies when I was in Japan. Grabbed some nice "Sound Adventure box" they had too.
Love the theme song.

Well that's deflating! The HD version looks shite, hah.

Guess I'll be playing the Saturn version after all.
