What's the best RPG turn based combat system? and why is it the Grandia system?

What's the best RPG turn based combat system? and why is it the Grandia system? There are a lot of qualities in the Grandia series, especially 1 and 2. But I'm here to talk about its amazing turn based system.From all the turn based Jrpgs I've played, I couldn't find any combat system that surpasses the system of Grandia. Only one game (to mu knowledge) did try to replicated it, but not to the full extend, the game is Child Of Light by Ubisoft.I discovered the series at Grandia 2 for the Dreamcast, then Grandia 3 on the PS2. Grandia Xtreme on PS2 wasn't to my liking. I went back to Grandia 1 but I didn't finish it. I'm still having it in mind tho.It's a shame the series just stopped. I wanted to make a post sharing a few sketches I've made during my playthrough of Grandia 2, but I couldn't post more than 1 image.

Reader question from @deepenfriendshipworldpeace

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWh93ErCE8ndLt60j9wt5Wg/playlistsplaying on original hardware, Saturn,genesis/megadrive,dreamcast,playstation1/2/3,psp,xbox,360,n64,wii,gamecube,gamegearwith exception of kingsfield ps1 trilogy and a couple others on playstation classic and a sega genesis mini, and odd pc game or switchI really enjoy your dreamcast streams in particular,have you played grandia 2?

Reminder to all our viewers that Riven now streams on Twitch here: https://www.twitch.tv/randomised_gaming/

Thanks for the question, Riven is a huge fan of the Grandia series, he hasn’t stream one yet on the channel, but we did cover Grandia 2 many years back on the channel with the first hour. https://youtu.be/QZRzD_D0K7k

Grandia 2 was a very good game, but Riven preferred the first one, third was a bit of a let down as it seems somewhat unfinished. Grandia Xtreme was a nice combat spin off and the little known Grandia: Parallel Trippers was a great side title on the Game Boy Color. We will get around to trying to cover the series more at some point.

Grandia Xtreme

Grandia Xtreme is almost a good game. It hosts many of the themes and quirks that make Grandia games so endearing and its battle system vies with Grandia III for the best in the series, but it restricts itself with a thin narrative and endlessly repetitive, padded-out gameplay.

Digital Thoughts - Grandia Xtreme - PS2

Evann, our main protagonist, is recruited by the local Army to join a special task force designed to fight the “elemental disorders” currently threatening the world. The team sets off and journeys to the four ancient ruins in hopes of quelling this danger.

Along the way Evann and the team encounter many friends and foes, including Kroitz, Evann's childhood rival. Kroitz (voiced by the one and only Mark Hamill) has his own intentions for obtaining the slabs in order to awaken a power he believes will give him absolute control. It’s up to you and your friends to prevent the world from falling into an elemental catastrophe and awakening the worst evil the world has yet to witness.

Xtreme is bright, colorful and vivid. Each zone is full of vast detail from the basic interior designs of the hub town, to the vast monster filled dungeons. Enemy designs are fantastic and follow similar types from previous Grandia games such as goblins, floating starfish, beastmen, etc. Each are highly detailed polygons and have their own respective animations.

Character models are also so well done – from the wild beast girl, a young Elvish thief, to the military brute, each offers a style that fits their personality. Special moves and magic spells are absolutely top notch here. Grandia games have always been great with over the top spells and moves and Xtreme does not disappoint.

You can even go into a 1st person look around mode that allowed me to truly admire the wonderful art design and color work programmed into this game.

Xtreme is a dungeon crawler at heart and a damn good one. Most of the core loop will be spent raiding elemental dungeons in search of loot, smashing enemies for experience, and defeating each end boss. Along the way you will discover rare items, light puzzles and environmental traps. Weapons and armor are vast and varied with many dropped or stolen with special properties and elemental bonuses.

Each playable characters have their own special moves called “Arts” which can be combined into double, triple and even quadruple techs. Mana Eggs return once again and are better than ever: Each egg can be combined with another to create exciting and rare combinations which not only unlocks higher tier or new spells but stronger versions that cost less time to cast, more hits and area of effect.

Xtreme also has a deep skill system through the use of skill books. With this, you can unlock a massive variety of helpful support abilities to equip on your characters. Skills such as attack boost, increased stealing chance, movement speed increase etc allow you to truly customize your team to your personal tastes.

“Theme of Xtreme” is quite fitting for such a grand adventure. It has a sweeping and grandiose melody that fits right into the opening cinematic while retaining that signature Grandia sound.

“Theme of Rocca” will be heard quite often as it’s the main theme of the hub town. It has a funky, jazzy, high energy bossa nova sound that goes through quite a few variations along the life of the track. It never got on my nerves and was always refreshing to come back to after a long dungeon grind session. “Good Meal” is the Xtreme’s version of the classic dinner time theme known throughout the Grandia series. I have to say this is my least favorite version of it, but it does have some merits. I’m just glad to see its tradition continued even in this game.

Let’s talk combat. Grandia Xtreme has absolutely fantastic battle themes! “Combat 1” is a flamenco guitar mixed with trumpets, horns, snappy drums, and wonderful backup guitars. It’s so great that even if I hear it over and over and over I never tire as it simply prepares one for an energetic fight against any kind of beast. It ranks quite high in my personal echelon of greatest fighting battle themes of all time. “Combat 2” is played when your team is ambushed by the enemy. It has a rock guitar lead, with great synth leads. “Combat 3” is wonderful. A fitting and high energy boss theme. Riffing guitars, pulsing drums, and a gritty synth that has an excellent solo mid-way through the song. “Combat 4” “Illusory Meadow” is a strange departure from most dungeon themes. It’s a somber, soothing and reflective piece that is absolutely beautiful.

There is an Xtreme (ha!) amount of content post-game; extra dungeons, searching for rare weapons, armor, mana eggs, skills and techniques, mini games, and maximizing each party members’ levels. This is a game that truly gives you things to do!

Grandia Xtreme is a fantastic game. It currently sits at the top of my all-time favorite in the Grandia series. It may not have the deepest story, but what it lacks in plot is made up by the sheer staggering amount of content within. You can lose hours upon hours while dungeon diving in search of eggs, weapons, armors, skills, discovering new technique combinations, spells and farming endless enemies. Combine that with the cheesy over the top voice acting, beautiful saturated colors and a wonderful soundtrack and you have a game that will keep you playing for quite a long time.

I wish I remembered enough of Grandia or Grandia II to be able to look up and understand fanfics made for them.

I wish I knew anything about Grandia Xtreme or Grandia III.

I wish that Grandia.

HEY GUYS GO CHECK OUT THE GRANDIA REMASTERED EDITION ON SWITCH

if this one does well they might remaster the other two games in the series or even continue the series!!! which would mean a whole lot to me!!!

[automaticgiraffe]

Oh my gosh, I actually have Grandia 3 but not the other two. The gameplay was kinda fun, but the story was really meh. What were the first two like?

The only redeemable qualities of 3 were the combat and music.  The rest was a garbage dump

The first one is fabulous, but the engine is pretty choppy, even for early 2000s standards.  The second one is also fabulous and holds up much better.  Oh, and I’ve never played Grandia Xtreme, but it was marketed as having a terrible story but good gameplay, so I’ll let that just settle
