A lot of the stronger special attacks have animations that you might find grating if you found the FF series too cutscene-heavy. Otherwise, it's pretty tolerable and the cutscenes usually serve a pretty understandable purpose in the sense that they develop the characters and move the story along at a fairly brisk pace, but it might be a bit much if that's something that gets to you.

It'd probably be harder to make an "HD" version of since it's sprite-based, but it's nonetheless encouraging that they're using the Dreamcast version as a base because it shows a willingness (and ability) to port from consoles. Besides, I'm sure I'm not the only one who told them in their survey that I was most interested in Grandia 1. Hopefully it's just a matter of time.

On NeoGAF, a rep from the company said that all the games listed in that survey they did, including Grandia 1, were potential games they could bring to PC. So hopefully the better this sells the more likely we'll see Grandia 1 and other games. Personally, I'm rooting for the Lunar series.

Yes, this definitely seems like a "talk with your wallet" opportunity. If you want to see other Game Arts titles on PC and, more importantly, on GOG, you should buy this game when it is released. The better it sells, the more motivation Gung Ho will have to bring those other titles to us. Like SCPM, I will do this for the chance at getting the Lunar games.

It is interesting they really would working the game again after conducted the survey. And also directly to GOG. I guess many GOG users filled the survey that time.

Hopefully in the future they would release their other games here too.

Excellent news! Looking forward to it's arrival and will most probably have to instabuy it on release!

Good news!. This game was awesome on the Sega Dreamcast! ^_^

Probably a day one purchase. I've realists that these days I tend to only have time for games that are easy to pickup without a huge learning curve. I kind of miss that free time thing.

I'm so happy that this game is coming to GOG! I'll buy it no matter the price. I hope Breath of Fire IV will be next.

ah Grandia II.

I have no desire to replay it but it was such an awesome adventure. really fun monsters, likeable characters.... do recommend it.

Yeah, I wish they had gone with Grandia instead of the ubiquitous Grandia II. Do I buy it just to support
the possibility of other ports? That kinda seems silly.

Not that I hate G2. It just gets all the attention, when it's hardly the best Grandia game.

Hmmm interesting... So more of the console only games are working their way out of console exclusivity... I have no memories of playing either Grandia so i can't say i'm excited or anything, but if it looks good i'll consider it :)

In unrelated news i'm playing some PS2 games...

Grandia 2 already had a PC port.

But the original one didn't?

Aaahhhh now it makes more sense.. I think...

I wish. grandia 2 is a great game but the first was better imo..,but like you said never had a pc port (that I'm aware of). in the gamearts survey I pretty much begged for a lunar 1 and 2 pc port. but yeah...grandia 2 is still something to get excited about. :)
