r/grandia

This part of the game really made me feel the weight of hopelessness when I played it for the first time.

Of these two protags, which one got the better character development? How much did they change throughout their adventures? More importantly, how different the two seemed by the end of their journey. Be honest.

I spoilered this post due to the whole Feena-Leen sibling reveal, and on the KLK side it's due to Nui being revealed to be a life fiber humanoid. Didn't want to risk getting marked down because of that.

Anyhow, this is a clothes swap featuring characters from both series. Maybe I'll make a second part but these were the only pairs I could think of for now.

Explanations for the crossovering (if that's a word):

Feena and Ryuko - Both are the main female characters; they start off as hot-headed and lonesome wolves but eventually come around to making friends to beat a unified threat.

Justin and Mako - Both come from a (relatively) low class family, are extremely outgoing and friendly, and become extremely close to Feena and Ryuko respectively. I think Justin and Mako would make great friends : )

Leen and Satsuki - Both are the older sibling of the main heroine, though this is revealed later on, and while they're initially on opposing sides of the heroes, they ultimately come around to rectifying their mistakes.

Rapp and Sanageyama - Green-wearing dudes who are full of themselves, and can go very fast.

Sue and Nui - This is actually kind of funny since they have EXTREMELY opposite personalities, but I thought it'd be cute since they wear pink and have blue eyes, not to mention extremely powerful (sort of for Sue; if you take the time and effort she can be pretty busted).

Puffy and Guts - Cute little pets who are basically the marketable mascot types (if you look closely Puffy is scared of Nui lol).

Gadwin and Gamagoori - absolute UNITS who're strong buff men and will not give up, they're such UNITS that they're DAPPING IT UP (in all seriousness I was too lazy to color in their picture so I opted to make it a shitpost)

I saw someone made a Tomodachi Life Millenia and here is mine as well as:3

This past weekend Noriyuki Iwadare was a guest at a beautiful music event here in Italy, and he conducted the orchestra playing music from Grandia and Lunar. He was adorable.
Grandia is literally a core part of who I am as a person and the soundtrack is burned into my brain. It's one of my earliest memories, as it came out in Europe just as I was starting to form those 😂 I remember my parents printing out pages and pages of guides to progress in the later dungeons. I replayed it a lot by myself growing up and around 13 I had actually started to draw it as a manga scene by scene haha. Needless to say, it was all very emotional. You can hear me sniffling in the video 😂
Enjoy!

I was looking through some magazines I had and thought the Grandia fandom might want to know that there's a one shot Grandia 2 manga in Famitsu Bros 2000/09. This was partially fan translated, as can be seen on mangadex, but it seems a good amount of pages are missing from these scans (19 out of the 32 pages are scanlated).

I can't seem to sort these images when I upload them so sorry about the out of orderliness.
