The Dreamcast RPG from GameArts is coming to the PC. Find out what you can expect from the port.

The battle between Granas and Valmar creates a chasm in the middle of the continent.

Released in 1997 on the Sega Saturn, the original Japanese version of Grandia was widely considered to be one of the finest console RPGs ever crafted, surpassing even Square's widely praised Final Fantasy VII, which was also released around the same period. Unfortunately, the Sega Saturn version never made it to domestic shores due to a general lack of interest in the console, but recognizing Grandia's immense popularity in the Japanese market, Sony bought the rights to the game and released it for the US PlayStation in 1999. When Grandia II was announced for the Dreamcast, Ubi Soft quickly snapped up the rights to distribute it on multiple platforms outside of Japan, including the PC. While the console style of the gameplay may alienate fans of traditional PC RPGs, those who enjoyed the PC versions of Square's Final Fantasy games have something to look forward to this December.

Grandia II's storyline essentially has nothing in common with that of its predecessor, as it begins with a brief animation sequence, showcasing the battle between Granas and Valmar--otherwise known as the gods of good and evil, respectively. In the battle, Granas uses a weapon of immense power to strike the final defeating blow against Valmar, and that blow also opens up an enormous chasm in the continent of Silesia. Granas then severs Valmar's body into several pieces and seals the pieces away in different parts of the continent to prevent his return. Long after the battle, people scatter throughout Silesia and establish towns and settlements, some of which are in direct contact with areas known to harbor one of Valmar's appendages. Because of a sudden resurgence of odd creatures in the area, the members of the church of Granas located in the small town of Carbo begin to believe that seal confining Valmar's wings--located in a tower near Carbo--is on the verge of collapse.

Dialogue between characters is carried out through text windows and voiceovers.

Your quest begins with the introduction of Ryudo, a traditional rebel character who comes from a group of people known as the Geohounds, who are seemingly frowned upon by other inhabitants of Silesia, particularly the religious zealots. Since Ryudo's a mercenary of sorts, he accepts various jobs in exchange for enormous amounts of money. As Ryudo, one of your first tasks is to escort a songstress named Elena to the tower so she can participate in a sealing ceremony. Naturally, the sealing ceremony doesn't proceed as planned, and Valmar comes one step closer to being reborn.

Grandia II's storyline progresses largely through in-game cutscenes and extensive dialogue sequences that take place between the key characters and secondary characters who roam throughout Silesia's villages. Some of the more important characters, such as Ryudo and his eagle companion Skye, have occasional spurts of actual spoken dialogue provided by experienced voice actors like Cam Clarke (the voice of Liquid Snake in Metal Gear Solid) and Paul Eiding (the voice of Colonel Campbell in Metal Gear Solid 2). Characters will also speak while performing special maneuvers during battles.
