Title: Gauging interest Grandia/Grandia 2
Post by: Sir Finkus on December 17, 2012, 04:45:55 pm

Anyone want to watch me powerlevel, metagame, exploit, and min/max the fuck out of the Grandia series?

I've ulillillia'd (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25bjSoyXlw0) both games hard (especially Grandia 2) and I'm starting a new playthrough.  As an added twist/challenge I will be playing them in Japanese.  Before I set up all the crap I need to record and stream the gameplay, I'd like to know if there is any interest.  Post if you'd watch it.  Feel free to ask questions as well.

The series is pretty easy (especially Grandia 2) so I'll probably be imposing various challenges on my self.

I'd probably start with Grandia 2 because I already have the emulator all set up.

Ah Grandia 2, another of those games that I made it all the way to the end boss and never actually finished. Loved the characters at the time though.

The ending battle in Grandia 2 is one of the biggest letdowns ever.  The bastard never even hit me.  There are so many bosses that are so much tougher.  He has some nice spells, but it's only one guy/part so it's so easy to cancel and disable him.

Screw it, I'm doing it.  First part is encoding now.  Should I lock this thread and start another, or just keep this one?

And they could have done something other than recycle the music from a few bosses before that. Sure, it was nice(I stuck a microphone next to my TV to record it, and the two other boss musics from that game), but still shows they got lazy in the end.
