Gamers on other site suggested this game for my reasons i just listed. Grandia 2 is more straightforward maybe a little too straightforward. I quickly fell in love with the game. To my recollection it is the first Rpg i ever completed. Not even passing or in fact owning a Zelda Game. Ironically my small gripe was the game was a little too much point A to B a little too linear. This took something away from an otherwise fantastic game. It needed more secrets or a another subplot thrown in. Despite this im sure you will enjoy the game as I did. I almost didnt want to end and kept putting off finishing it once i knew i was getting close to the finish line. nocarpaymenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16659927065474014366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19634944.post-45463960086826061882015-01-05T08:07:22.648+00:002015-01-05T08:07:22.648+00:00I get that.

It's fairly short, quirky, and has no random battles.B# Major Generalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04627116398791981776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19634944.post-64189460248496697532015-01-05T07:52:20.667+00:002015-01-05T07:52:20.667+00:00Just JRPGs I think.

Just not really 'into' JRPGs for some reason. Final Fantasy 7 really put me off with it's random battles and boring gameplay I think.Tom Charnockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05593308178739317252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19634944.post-35696745077723763462015-01-05T07:47:24.464+00:002015-01-05T07:47:24.464+00:00RPGs in general, or JRPGs?
