Character dialogue is sharp, witty, and flows well. To this end, Ubi Soft deserves a large amount of credit, as Grandia 2 is one of the finest localization jobs ever done. Visually, the game is gorgeous. Grandia 2 boasts some of the finest graphics on any console to date. Every monster, villager, machine, building, rock wall and dirt path are crafted in painstaking detail.
Wooden houses have boards cracked with age.
Ornate designs can be seen engraved on sword blades. The Granacliffs' bottomless maw is dizzying to behold. The animation is equally impressive, and very smooth. Grandia II 's world seems to live and breathe on the screen. For added flash, GameArts used FMV sequences for spells in battle.
