The world is beautiful and amazingly detailed and the battles are a blast. The item creation system is too annoying to be useful, though. Even a master level chef will still make rotten food most of the time. Your characters can reach level 255, but I've only reached 180 in my game. If you like to feel really powerful, this game is for you.
Some characters can do ridiculous amounts of damage at higher levels.
It's Steve's favorite game and my second favorite. I love the characters and I had a lot of fun with the Junction system. Well, I got my entire cast up to level 100, got all of their best weapons and learned every single Guardian Force ability in one game before. The production values, the themes and the depth of this game are some of the best ever. Grandia Almost nothing happens until midway through disc 2.
