I still remember how awful the PS2 port of Grandia II was compared to its Dreamcast brethren, hopefully they do it right this time.
Of the PS classics, Suikoden is still due for such treatment, but remembering it's Konami better expect left out in the cold henceforth too, pachinko versions not counted... |

I already have Grandia for the Vita (downloaded). I might consider Grandia 2 if it gets remastered.

It showed up on the Switch yesterday to my great surprise. (And delight.)
The only thing I can pick at is that I'm not a fan of how a lot of games blur 2D graphics, like the sprites in the first Grandia games, but I can live with that. (And it probably won't look as severe when I'm playing it on the Switch screen.) And ohohohhh... *pleasure shivers* ...that music.
The way you write this, I'm uncertain if you're aware that both games come in one package. I didn't think Grandia 2 was all that bad on the PS2. Granted, I played the PAL version, which might have had an easier time avoiding the graphical glitches I heard the game was supposed to have, but the flip side to that was that the sounds for a lot of the magic and the special moves quickly ran out of sync. I've barely tested Grandia 1 so far, but it looks nice, aforementioned sprites aside. Since Grandia 2 is fully 3D, I expect it won't look as bad for that. |

No, it's not? The only Grandia available on Steam is the second one, with the version available there being a significant upgrade of the already very competent PC port from 2002. Whoever writes your gaming news should really learn how to double-check information. These kinds of mistakes happen pretty much constantly and they're kind of embarrassing. |

The version of Grandia II currently available on Steam is a bug-ridden mess.
I hope that this upcoming remaster is an actual functioning game. |

Are you sure? The listing on Steam for Grandia HD makes no mention at all of Grandia II. I don't know if they're sold as a collection elsewhere, but on Steam they appear to be separate. Emerje |

Oh. Well, I got the Switch version of the Grandia collection, and it basically had both games in one package -- you can't choose one or the other. But I guess it's different on PC, then, maybe because Grandia 2 has been available there for a while?
Didn't mean to spread disinformation. Sorry about that. |

Grandia 2 Anniversary Edition was released on Steam almost 4 years ago. The HD remaster of the first Grandia game will be released on Steam next month.

Only on Steam they aren't sold as a collection. |
