If you are looking for insanely hard puzzles and slower paced battles this game may not be for you. The battle music is somewhat techno rock with a fast beat that fits perfectly with the frantic action. And yes, there is voice acting, which is done very nicely. Not to mention the sound effects, which are also very realistic, from swords clanging to ice breaking you feel in the action. Depth This is one area where Grandia II lacks in.
Many RPG fans prefer numerous side quests and tons of extra weapons and items.
Grandia II is somewhat linear with few options on the path to victory, although character customization makes up for this. For the most part the dungeons and towns are creatively designed and fit in well with the mood of the game. There are many dungeons and towns but the dialogue and FMV s serve as an equalizer. Overall Grandia II is a fantastic work of art, which will be enjoyed by most. I personally enjoyed the game but not as much as Skies of Arcadia.
