Grandia HD Collection has a few issues but in spite of these is a still a worthwhile addition to any JRPG fan’s collection. The two games are classic gems that flew under many people’s radar during their initial release but are also fun even if this is the first time playing them. There are minor modernization tweaks to the titles and some technical issues do mar the experience, but even with these concessions, having these two titles available to play on the go is hard to complain about.
Review - Grandia HD Collection on Xbox may not appeal to everyone, but those drawn to it will find this to be a great package.
I assume there is a pc version of this? Never got to play these games back in the day so it's tempting to try them out now.
It exists, doesn't work on Steam Deck though, which is a pity, I've had the PC versions since release.
Angelus Victor said: The 90s and 2000s era of gaming is both nostalgic and underrated at the same time. So many series got their start, not knowing how the future of gaming would be back in day. Well,nostalgia is definitely the king, so it’s not uncommon to see old games remastered in HD so that you can play them on your modern console. Now, does Grandia HD Collection live up to the expectations? Well, it’s complicated.
and this after the director said that "they'd "have to make 4k textures if it were ever to come to playstation and others"
I'm still buying Physically. Nice to get these older games on modern consoles. I'm not overly worried about 60fps 4k resolutions and all that if I'm being honest.
The Nerd Stash: "NPCs are assets, not obstacles in the Grandia HD Collection. The music is beautiful but used as a backdrop, allowing you to focus on the game's diverse worlds. Characters from each game are charming, with the first game having a better protagonist, and the second having a superior supporting cast. The battle systems are still unique to this day, and these games are now fully democratized to all of the major home gaming markets. It's timeless for connoisseurs of the classics, and essential for those seeking a truly unique JRPG."
Going to order it now. I own the Switch version but I’d rather have it on PlayStation
