This Letter Scene in Grandia Will Break Your Heart Like it Broke Mine

The Nerd Stash: “The letter scene in Grandia is a magnificent, layered early example of the game's wonderful NPC interactions, and a real tear-jerker.”

Grandia, Klonoa, and Parappa... NICE!

MrBaskerville162d ago (Edited 162d ago )

Grandia is especially nice, as I don't think it's available on psn atm. Wonder if it's a psx port or the Switch version.

If they didn't despise ps2, they could have added Grandia 2-3 as well.

shinoff2183161d ago

It's not a despise. Far as I've read their working on better emulation. It'll come.

GRANDIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. Fckn love that game

StormSnooper161d ago

Is it good? I never played that.

crazyCoconuts162d ago

Been thinking of getting Teardown on Steam for Steam Deck play. Heard a lot of great reviews for it.

MrBeatdown161d ago

Played the first half hour last night. All I did was wreck a building but what a blast.

Elda162d ago

Nothing of interest for me. My sub is up in 2 weeks & I'll go with Essentials only for cloud saves & online. Having Extra or Premium is a waste for me seeing most games that land on the service are old that I've played already or old games I never had any interest in playing.

crazyCoconuts162d ago

Respect your opinion, just pointing out that Teardown is a Day One Extra release for PS, not an old game in this case. Gotham Knights last month was a year old.

Elda162d ago

I have no interest in Teardown. I bought & played Gotham Knights when it was first released in October 2022. Every month I'm always buying the latest AAA or AA games when they first release to play on my PS5, the very reason why Extra & Premium is a waste of money for me.

I Wish The Grandia Series Would Return

With one of the best combat systems ever, I would love to see this series resurrected.

And I wish the Shadow Hearts Series would return. It had one of the funniest combat systems ever in a j-rpg

gold_drake185d ago

yeh.

theres a new one coming out. not a "shadow hearts" title, but a similar one. currently in development and for 2025

Terry_B185d ago

Yeah..I know. A spiritual successor more or less..just like the Wild Arms one. Wish success to both of them

jznrpg185d ago

Just saw my Shadow Hearts games the other day in my collection. Going to hook up my PS3 fat and start playing some old games again soon during the winter and they are on my list of must play.

FinalFantasyFanatic184d ago (Edited 184d ago )

It's a pity Sony didn't want to help out with that, apparently the developers of Shadow Hearts (and Wild Arms) approached Sony about doing some ports/sequels, but they weren't interested. At least we're getting those spiritual successors, I also bought the Wild Arms 1 & 2 PS Classics as soon as they were available.

Ugh, give me a Shadow Hearts collection with Kouldeka, Shadow Hearts, Covenant, and From the New World.

gold_drake185d ago

i wish the damn collection would be on ps5 already.

i think the grandia series died with 3. just wasnt good. xtreme wasnt good either.

1 and 2 are the best.

PunksOnN4G185d ago

Shadow hearts needs to come but also grandia collection with 1 and 2 never came to PS4. Still waiting lol till then I play the ones on the PS3 they have them all on there for 8$ each

FinalFantasyFanatic184d ago

I didn't even know 1 and 2 weren't available on PS4, I thought they went to everything since it was on Switch and Steam.

PunksOnN4G184d ago

Yeah idk why it never did... I already payed them again on PC don't think I would rebuy since been out 2 or so years already also staar ocean second story is even on PS4 for Japan only lol but I'm hyped for the new 2d HD one

FinalFantasyFanatic184d ago

Kind of annoyed that the first Star Ocean first Depature wasn't on PC, I bought it on PS4, but I would have preferred it on PC, I think I might buy Star Ocean Second Story R not long after it releases.

Relientk77185d ago

I would love a Grandia 4, but I doubt we will ever get it

Knightofelemia185d ago

I wish Wild Arms would return, I wish Namco would do an HD remaster or remake of the Xenosaga trilogy. I wish the Ar Tonelico trilogy was ported to PS5, I also wish Ar Nosurge and Ciel Nosurge were on PS5. I would jump for a new Grandia game. I wish SquareEnix would bring Xenogears to a modern console.

Snookies12185d ago

I really do miss Wild Arms. Such a unique franchise. It's a shame we haven't gotten a new one. Wild Arms 3 was my personal favorite of the series.

FinalFantasyFanatic184d ago

I would buy all of those, still surprised we never got Ciel Nosurge off-line, back in the day, I really felt like that was going to get an English release.
