Any fans of the Grandia series about? If so which is your favourite, mine would have to be the first game, although the second game is closely behind it. Justin is an awesome protagonist =D.
I still own the complete PS1 'Grandia' in near mint condition. It's the only one in the series I've played. I remember it taking me about 110 hours to finish it back in year 2000.
The battle system was very well done and I wondered why other RPG's didn't borrow from it.
Don't remember much about characters and story, but I do recall a pirate ghost ship and some sort of giant "wall" you had to climb over. So I'm kind of a fan of that game, but no longer a jRPG player much (at all) anymore.
I think I had the third one. I started to play it a bit but never really got into it so it eventually got sold.
