PlayOnline service needs the HDD. Square-Enix uses PlayOnline exclusively for internet multiplayer. Hence, HDD required.

Ah, thanks for the information. I'm not really a fan of Ragnarok, but it'll be interesting to see what they come up with I suppose.

Game Arts sinks further and further into obscurity. Used to be such a big fan for reasons that now seem to click a heck of a lot less, sad. Oh well, there's always Lunar: TSS, Grandia and Grandia X.
Either way, they seem to be trying awfully hard to avoid the Square-Enix jaws of doom. I figured they got sucked it (which may have been for the best if they're reduced to making odd Japanese-only online PC RPG's) after Enix got a stake in them, then the merger.

Man, this is what I get for laughing at the Shenmue crowd when their favorite turd went online.

Maybe it's the fact that there are about 500 mmorpgs in development and none of them are really innovating. The best MMORPG is still Ultima Online from 1996. Pretty sad.Alex said:

The Legend of Dragoon demo stands out in my mind as the best demo ever. I remember so many stupid things about it. Like when they tried to push down an old tree, then proceeded to try and catch it.
Honestly. Lufia and Tales of Destiny had some dipshit heroes, but Tales of Dragoon takes the cake. Too bad everything else about the game was miserably bad.
Dragona: He's just messing around, although I do believe I remember he's temporary bout with insanity about it. I think it was me and Frag who were making fun of him in that dirt old topic god knows how many forum revisions ago.

For YOU maybe!! ;D
Seriously though, Shouta's posts on Grandia recently convinced me to have a little renaissance for myself. After 15 hours of play, I was convinced my old nitpickings may have well been due to temporary insanity. I was a madman, Grandia 1 is brilliant even today.
Been wanting to give G Xtreme a real run through for awhile now as well.

Dude, you didn't think I wasn't messing around? Something wrong here.

I know, I'm just saying. ...Right
I'm sure glad no one remembers my old 5ish+ year old posts though. Oh man, I think I was almost if not just as bad as SSx when I first hit the forum barring a few games.
GX rocks. No one at all bought it though hardly, I was like the only person praising it. Just a few people, and shit it was weird, because everyone HATED it at first too, then pulled a 360 after a few hours more.

For all my Grandia fangirlism I haven't really sunk alot of time into GX, simply because of the shitty camera from hell. You know, how it doesn't support the RIGHT STICK and the game was WRITTEN for the PS2. I mean fuck, GRANDIA 1, the PORT FROM SATURN had right stick camera support. That shit is just lame.
Also, while Grandia II is ass compared to Grandia, I liked how it was

the prequel. Millenia and Elena are the first Icarian twins, and after beating Valmar the Moth Boy, Ryudo and company bring about the golden age of the Icarians. Fuck, Liete rven mentions Ryudo (not by name) in Grandia.

Grandia 2 on the DC was great. Storyline was same generic stuff but I loved the battle system.

i spent way too long between Grandias. I barely remmeber anyhting about the Icarians. I plowed right through Grandia, but Grandia II I just finished up a few months ago. I still liked it, but it just wasn't the same.
Why, Gamearts, must you taunt us so. I don't really care about a Lunar 3, but a true Grandia 3 would be quite a joyful announcement.
I hope the online battles fuse dynamic and strategic combat as well as the traditional Grandia series does. And I hope each town is as distinctive in personality as it has been, with varying architectural styles and themes. And get Two-Five back for the music.

Hrm.
Grandia - My favorite game of all time. No question about that.
Grandia II - Quite a bit of a disappointment... but still enjoyable, and still better than 99% of other RPGs out there
Grandia Xtreme - Mediocre to begin with. Once I hit about 13 hours I hit a point where I hated it and didn't care if I ever finished. (Trust me, this is probably the only game I quit on)
If I ever pick up a jPS2, I'll think about replaying my Xtreme game. But as it is, I feel it's one of the worst I've ever played. Sure the battle system is still fun, but the way the game was designed is just plain awful. I'd love to hear why you like it though.
And... GameArts is dead. Thanks for playing.
I'm a total leek if it comes to Grandia but.. Grandia Xtreme that only came out in America and Japan.. Is it some sort of Grandia 2.5 or what? Because somebody tolled me it was some kind of sequel (= Grandia 3) but after hearing somebody saying: "no grandia 3??"
I guess that guy didn't know that much about Grandia, please make it clear.

It's not Grandia 3, nor is it really Grandia 2.5 either. It is essentially "take the best part about the Grandia series (ie the battles) and remove everything else". Grandia Xtreme has the battles down right, and they're still fun, and they're harder too. But they took out everything else that made Grandia, Grandia.
Whereas Grandia and Grandia II were jRPGs, GX is a dungeon hack game. You visit and revisit dungeons to fight and find items. Repeat and repeat until sheer boredom sets in. It loses its charm real quick.

Becareful of what u wish you... SA is actually a more appropiate MMORPG tile than Grandia. Imagine all these little floating islands that you can claim ownership and build castles and stores on them... ha ha, not that I want to seet that to happen.

Grandia Parallel Trippers
I have it... played it for like 10 mins and wasn't particularly impressed. Maybe one day I'll go back to it and write up impressions. But it seems to be Grandia in name only. It doesn't really play like any of the other Grandia games aside from the whole walk around an overworld thing. Heck, in this game you can -jump-.
Well, GameArts realy didn't have anything to do with it (Hudson developed it internally at their Tokyo Studio iirc).Tsubaki said:
Hopefully that DS RPG GameArts announced is a G1 remake to go alongside this online game. Wonder if the rumors of them working on Xbox are at all likely now that they've escaped Square Enix? Grandia Online looks like it might be just what Microsoft needs after killing TFLO, and GameArts has a history of supporting underdogs...
