Very Early Game Spoilers

I am playing Grandia 1 for the first time on the Switch and it hit me so hard when Justin moved away.

For reference, I moved to another country when I was 30 and I have not returned to my home country since. The plan was to come back at some point, but I have built a life here and have been married to a local. My parents came out to visit recently and I talk to them a few times week, so it's not like it is some super sad story, but it was a tough part of the game to work through.

I related to Justin so much and have been drawn in to this game so much due to the characters. I am still really early in this game. I just made it across the sea and look forward to becoming an adventurer.

One thing that I find interesting about this game is that the style of the game and menus are like a mix of PS1 and SNES graphics. I guess this was an early PS1 game.

I replay Grandia every few years. It was one of the first games I bought with my own money, and still to this day it's one of my favorites.

I've heard people consider the beginning of the game the weakest part, though I have sort of a soft spot for it.

Regarding the graphics, it was originally a Sega Saturn game, and was later ported to PS1. Maybe that's why it looks so unique.

I loove Grandia. Slowly playing it on my Vita, and I've loved the environments a lot. The YouTuber Hazel is the one who introduced it to me, her cozy jrpgs video has a lot of bangers.

That sounds super cozy! I've always been a portable gamer main, so when the Grandia HD Collection was announced for the Switch, I literally cried tears of joy 😭
