Item Description

Grandia Xtreme is what happens when Game Arts takes the series' famous battle system and builds an entire game around it. The first Grandia made from the ground up for the PlayStation 2, it trades the sprawling, travelogue storytelling of the first two games for a tighter loop of dungeon delving, loot and fights. For players who always thought the combat was the best part of Grandia, that trade is the whole appeal.

The hero is Evann, a brash young Ranger with a rare talent: he can open Geo Gates, the portals that lead into the land's elemental dungeons. That ability gets him conscripted by the Nortis army, under his arch-rival Colonel Kroitz, to deal with the Elemental Disorder that has been destroying villages across the land. The party that forms around him is a mismatched crew pressed into the same mission, and the English voice cast features some surprising names, including Mark Hamill, Dean Cain and singer Lisa Loeb.

Battles are where Xtreme shines. Every combatant moves along a shared action gauge, and characters physically run across the field to reach their targets, so distance and timing matter. Combos pile on damage, while critical blows can knock an enemy's queued action right off the gauge, and canceling a big attack at the last second never stops being satisfying. Team-up moves let two or more party members strike together, Mana Eggs can be combined into stronger spells, and skills dropped by enemies as scrolls get slotted into skill books to shape each character. An Xtreme gauge even warns you when enemies are close. Noriyuki Iwadare, the composer behind the earlier Grandia soundtracks, returns with a lively score.

Published by Enix in 2002, in the months before its merger with Square, Xtreme divided critics who missed the story-driven sweep of Grandia II, and its dungeons demand patience and some grinding. In return it offers the most combat-focused Grandia ever made, a long, demanding crawl with a battle system reviewers singled out as its crown jewel, for players who would rather spend their RPG hours in the thick of a fight than watching cutscenes.

About the game

Grandia Xtreme is the first Grandia game to be originally released for Playstation 2. Its combat system is virtually the same as in the previous two games, a mixture of strategic planning and combo attacks. Your party members can run around, avoid enemy attacks, and their attack power depends on their distance from the enemies. Grandia Xtreme is heavily based on combat, with more dungeons, more fighting, and less story than the two previous installments of the series.
