been a long time since I put no input on games and old. But I'm here again to tell you a little about one of those games years ago that all fans of the genre know, I have played or not.
Grandia I'm talking about a JRPG appeared on the PlayStation in 1999, and reaching from the same year in a masterpiece of the genre. I could play, but I never got to finish it, and at that time had so many games, which sometimes left me half to start some other ... xD Which I do not do quite the opposite, I like to make the most of any game that comes to my hands.
After so many years, I came to remember him when he was riding the entry for this blog on Dreamcast, as I have for that console Grandia II, so we're at it, I wanted to start the first game the saga, and exactly This morning I finished the game 100%, so here I leave my impressions of him.
The argument is that it is great to this day, but by that time itself was very good. The protagonist is called Justin, a boy whose father is an adventurer who lives in a small town with her mother, and spends the day with her best friend Sue, a girl a few years younger than him who is always accompanied by his little pet Puffy, a flying creature most strange. Justin
someday wants to be like his father, that is, you travel and live out many adventures that will remind you all, and could never imagine that this wish would come true, and how, as he will be chosen by the spirits to save the world from total destruction.
From Justin, along with Sue, leaving home in search of adventure, will get to know different characters, for a total of 8, but which will not the option to choose between them for our team, but the game itself will put us to the computer at all times, never being more than 4 characters going on adventures. The combat system is easy and well carried, and allows us to follow a strategy or one that will make the fight ends in success or total failure.
The duration of the title is as long as the other games in the genre. For my part, I took a total of 40 hours to complete, which is not bad. The difficulty is perfectly adjusted, requiring training, but not enough to have to spend days struggling to move forward. In fact, just defeat all the living things we find along the way, without having to go back to train us because some final boss is impossible. Of course, if you belong to those who avoid all battles (which may in Grandia, because is at all times the enemies on the map), rest assured that sooner or later will need to spend some time fighting to level up. Me for example, Justin I finished at level 37, which is more than enough to finish the game without too much trouble, although it is advisable that when fighting enemies negligible, we use the magic level to rise, because if we limit them to attack with the weapon, not rise, something that we will regret later.
Grandia has some flaws, of which the biggest is undoubtedly the camera ... And is that to have the option to turn our will in almost all times, sometimes it happens that on maps that do not have too many reference points to guide us, we end up losing, and may go more than once in the same place looking for the exit without us even realize that there already have been precisely why I say that sometimes there is not much to tell us where we are and that passing a second time may have the camera in another position, which does not make us realize that we've been there. For example, early in the initial village, just find a particular house and it cost me, even having been there since before ... xD
Warning, spoilers coming. The end of the game I thought it was really good seeing Justin and Feena end up together and spend 10 years and have 5 or 6 children (do not waste time, no), and Sue made to see a young woman and all . Of course, when it seemed that Justin and Feena were to appear and could see them as more grown up ... PLAF, the game is over xD I could have shown how the years have treated them joer.
also seemed strange to me that except at the beginning of the game, did not return to talk about the father of Justin, it was said to have gone on adventures, and of course, I thought I would end up finding and discovering where he had state, but nothing at all, or mu on it. Moreover, even at the end of the game make mention of the father, do not understand why, for a reunion would have been luxury.
leave this post here on the first Grandia, not before without saying that if you are fans of JRPG and you have not already tested and have the opportunity to do, not what you think, deserves as much grief.
