  • Still my favorite Video Game tune of all time.

  • i used to hate the fact that Sue needed more experience than the rest of the party to level up. Provably because she was a just a little girl.

  • Still the best game I've ever played. I even named my son Justin. <3

  • Loved the game so much, but I always felt like murdering that Sue O.o

  • 2:15 is so beautiful ... ~

    This game is amazing <3

  • i beat this game in 48 hours but then i took an arrow to the knee

  • very underrated game

  • Grandia is the fucking shit :D I saw grandia 2 in the store for about 3 dollars xD

  • @whillchill I hope you picked it up!!

  • @DragoonIceX Im sorry do dissapoint you but actually i didn't, ... this was after i stood in a great fucking sale line when i bought Final Fantasy XIII, i just happend to walk by all the ps2 games and saw it and smiled.

  • Wow.. It's nice to know that people never forgot how great this game was. Grandia, Rhapsody, FFT, and Suikoden completed my childhood.

  • This game is the longest jRPG i ever played, 30+ hours in story mode only, that's insane !

  • The best RPG of its day, and maybe even ever. Tales of Symphonia might be able to get close, but that would be about it.

    This game defined the paradigm through which I look at life.

  • Oh Saturn, my Saturn

  • The is my favorite game of all time...and i have been playing video games since i was a very small child....I have never, nor will I ever, me more attached to a set of characters then i will be to Justin, Sue, Feena, Leen, and Gadwin. <3 Grandia

  • @Malgrodan I guess the big reason I love this game, is cause its like Elfen Lied or Saikano pretty much flipped on its head.

  • oh my god... it can be too nerd to say, but this song makes me cry after make me remember my childhood... i was soooo happy when was kid, i really , really want that time back... ....

  • Got this game on an emulator. Played for 8 hours straight

  • Even though this series has gone into somewhat of obsurity, its still a good franchise. This games just about everything is amazing

  • Comment removed

  • Love this great game!

  • Nostalgia'd hard

  • Grandias theme does not have an actual name, how about calling it The soul of the adventurer? as Justin said.

  • I love it sooo much, and i still play it today!

    Best Story, best characters, best feeling.. GRANDIA is the perfect

    and best RPG Game ever! <33

  • Best RPG ever

  • Grandia

    What an awesome matching name for this awesome masterpiece of video gaming and rpg history with a story so outstandingly shining bright...

    ...if you're one of those lucky people who own this game and a PS1 till today you can consider your life as lucky :)

  • one got v-slashed in the face!

  • I left my PSX on the title screen so this would play after a few minutes while I did other stuff.

  • I played this so much when I was younger, and had so much fun...

    Rest in peace, Takeshi Miyaji. Playing this for you.

  • There's barely any info but it's sad that the co-founder of Game Arts passed away on July 29, 4 days after my birthday and 7 days after the tragedy in Norway where I live...

    Everyday, so much bullshit happens in the world beyond one's grasp, what one can do is cherish that which is beautiful in life, try to be a better person and be glad one is alive to enjoy the art created and learn from the legacies left behind.

  • The Tears of the Adventurous spirit fall this day, you showed us dreams beyond what they said we could be and taught us to seek that Horizon despite the wall in our way, R.I.P Takeshi Miyaji

  • Just played this for you, Miyaji-san. Thank you for giving us one of the best RPG titles of all time.

  • RIP Takeshi Miyaji. Absolutely incredible game.

  • Rest in Peace, Takeshi Miyaji.

  • I really really really love Final Fantasy 7, but Grandia is by far the best RPG I played in my life. I'm still so happy that I bought it and that it still works !! God, I have to play it again !!

  • I played this game a few years ago. Loved the music and storyline.

  • First didnt want to buy Grandia. Now i dont want it to give away.

  • I've played games for 11 years but Grandia has the biggest heart, enthusiasm, memorable soundtrack, amazing sprites, a few scenes that made me empathize and cry tears of joy and sorrow. The single gripe I have with the game is how extremely easy it is, however the combat system is unique and damn near perfect!

    I've never been more emotionally attached to a cast of characters (Justin, Sue, Gadwin, Leen and especially Feena <3)

    Greatest RPG I've played in my life and I've played most of them...

  • @TheMarine250789 YOU SERIOUS? This is the Hardest video game I have ever played. To this day I still have not finished it. =/

  • I'm on my 30s now, i still remember playing this game like 11 years ago. This song has been stuck in my head since wednsday, i have no idea why. I didn't first remember what game that song was from, or was it from a game at all. Today i saw Grandia 1 on my shelf and was like FUCK YES! Came to listen to this song right away, and i must admit, i'm nearly crying here. So much memories from this game. I still remember how i was stuck in the town because i didn't know where he had hidden his stuff :P

  • @kinkkku yeah, Grandia had an amazing soundtrack! :D

  • @slitheryjuggler94 Grandia theme song and FFVII prelude are the best game soundtracks EVER made. You won't see soundtracks like these in modern games. You play these awesome old games when you are young, remember the theme soundtracks, and 10 years later those same soundtracks will nearly make you cry because you remember all the great times you had when you were younger. It's never going to happen with modern games. I doubt i come to listen FF13 main theme after 10 years. It wasnt that good.

  • @kinkkku i agree FF13 soundtrack was terrible not even close to being as good as 7. i first played 7 when i was 3 years old and still play it to this day, and now im 17. its that good lol and i'll never forget the awesome music of that game and grandia. :)

  • @slitheryjuggler94 Yeah. I started to play Grandia few weeks ago and finished it last week. I think im going to play Final Fantasy VII Soon. :) I'm glad i still have original copies of these games on my shelf, never going to sell them. Too hard to get these games anywhere nowadays and i hate ROM's :(

  • I'm 32 years old, I've played all Final Fantasy games from 6 to 13. I just got Grandia through PSN and finished it on my PSP a few days ago. Now I can definitely say that graphics means nothing. This game despite being around 15 years old, almost moved me to tears and entertained me in a way that no RPG has done since FF8. Incredible. It was so good that I even made some music for the game afterwards.

  • Working on getting all 3 for my ps2 even though have ps3 now,hehehehe.

  • Grandia is the game that gave me a new kind of game play for the first time, it was the very first RPQ i ever played and finished and i still love this game even to this day. It will always have a place in my heart.

  • YESSSS!!! I'M READY TO FIST FIGHT A BEAR!

  • OOOOH memorieeees <3

  • Truly great game <3

  • Grandia 1 is the shit ! Game is awesome !

  • I wish they would remake games like this

  • @Icy5lame

    I agree!

    I wish I could go back in time too lol... Cause as an adult I won't be marked by a game like I did as a child

  • I sorta gave this game away some time ago... I regret it a bit, but there were some circumstances. It is among the games I am keeping an eye out to hopefully see again, though by this time, I would likely have to overpay for it on EBay or something.

  • I just finished the game last night. Man, what a ride. Grandia is the game that most represents why I love video games and fantasy in general as a story telling medium: the adventure! This game captures and perpetuates it so well! It's gives off quite the rush at some of the better parts :)

    Honestly, this game is my Chrono Trigger of the 32 bit era. And even though he may not seem the most interesting, realistic main character at first, the Hero grew to be one of my favorites ^^

  • Grandia, Suikoden, Final Fantasy and all the likes were great games

    Children today are getting poisoned with their CoDs and Halos

  • @TerrorWatcher You cannot compare online games to RPG-like games, it's not possible. I'm a fan of both by the way.

  • @ryudo113 That's exactly my point

    While the games are good in some aspects, today's game developers tend to dumb down the game to fun yet not so good on the storyline. That's why today's gamers are more interested in simple FPS

    Take CoD 4-7 for example. It has a fun storyline, but takes less than 12 hours of consecutive gameplay from start to end. Grandia, however, took me around 24 or more hours of consecutive gameplay just on the first disc, and that is played without grinding, by the way

  • @TerrorWatcher Yeah - I'm guessing the game developers go with "the flow" or maybe the other way around. But generally games today - especially focusing on the FPS genre - do not have that great of a storyline, I agree.

  • @TerrorWatcher COD IS poison, But Halo is superb :D

  • @TerrorWatcher

    lol u've diagnosed kids to have too much CoD n Halo in der blood?

  • @Thanatos249

    Blood tests aren't necessary anymore. Recent studies shows that the infected shows signs of uncontrollable swearing, extreme ignorance, and xenophobia in terms of other games of better quality.

  • @TerrorWatcher "I don't like it, so It's bad." Cry more, ya big dummy.

  • @Mmmathers4

    Where did I ever state that I didn't like them? Or that they're bad?

  • @TerrorWatcher Halo is a great game, you can love halo/FF7/grandia like me...

  • @benthebatteur

    I didn't say either games are bad, I meant the simplicity of the game (point at something you don't like and shoot) makes today's generation lazier.

  • @TerrorWatcher Suikoden is good but can't get into it all that much

  • An appropiate theme for one epic adventure. Thanks for the video. I'll download this from the PSN as soon as possible.

  • The best and most important part of this game was the feeling of adventure this game gave. It never gets old.

    Grandia II felt like an anime. I loved it, but not as much of an adventure as the first. Grandia III was more of an adventure than II, but nothing compared to the first. I never played Extreme, but nothing is ever as good as the first.

  • I don't care what anyone says, good or bad. The best part of this game was the feeling of an adventure it gave. I wish games were like this still.

  • finally, i got Grandia from PS3. You can buy it from the PSN. And its the best RPG-Game ever. I play it now every day, since i downloaded.

  • good old times...time is running out so fast....

  • 最初から最後までいい曲 鳥肌もの

  • One of the best RPG games I have ever played. EVER! The sequels were alright I guess. But this one is the best though.

  • I think i speak for everyone when i say that the most missed character in Grandia in all will be the best character GENERAL BAAL!

    SO MUCH EPICNESS!

  • Maybe its me, but Feena reminds me of Kid from Chrono Cross but way of appearences. Haha!

    Man, I got Grandia yesterday from PSN. I wanted that game BAD as a kid, and I was angry when Sue said " that's it! coming out for Oct.99!" on that blasted demo all those years back... where are now to stop me, little girl!!

    Sue: In your PSP now, smarty. *Puff-pufft!!*

  • @TheHikariOne I have a hard copy of the game for my PS1. Was hard to find since it out of print. But worth owning and playing.

    Now I want a copy for my PSPgo. Good thing it so cheap! One of best games ever.

  • Someone start a petition to have this game re-mastered and re-released.

    Hell I'd do it myself.. Community project anyone?

  • @sheepdog0111 Try ReDux! It's a big project which overhawls Grandia's Gameplay and difficulty (and in the future; a re-translation of the dialogue). Disc 1 is completed so I suggest you try it.

  • im so sad about the fact that i played i through and there is nothing new to explore :(

  • @ArcticAirProductions Then I recommend taking a look at Grandia ReDux (Look at my channel for info + vids).

    All fans of the game should try it out! It's a massive project and I hope it can really breathe some new life into the game. : )

  • まさしく神BGM!!

  • Sweet Jesus,this game is so much of win. Everything is perfect: Music, charakters, the story, the battle and gameplay system,simply everything. It really does fell like a adventure, this game is never boring. Grandia>Final Fantasy 7

  • Comment removed

  • This really takes me back. I remember playing this for hours as a kid(alone, but it was still awesome). The plot was all the way just epic and it had some neat twists like when you go over the edge of the world etc. What's strange about this game is that I never knew anything about it before playing it, I just saw the cover in the store and had some kind of instant association with Secret of Mana, another of my childhood classics. Finally at the age of 12 or so I got this for my bday.

  • @iPiano I was blown away by the awesomeness. Although I was a complete geek spending most of my time in my room with my PSX I cant say it was all bad and games like Grandia truly represent the upsides of my solitary childhood. This game gave me some good vibrations back then and I just got some more listening to this track. This is just so great.

  • I freaking love this game and usually replay it every few years. Justin was such a great protagonist: always upbeat, plucky, and dynamic. I love the battle system, the characters, the plot, really, I love everything about this game. I wish more games came out today with the charm that Grandia offers.

  • Outstanding. I have an original copy of this masterpiece sitting right across from me! ^_^ This game was what it was all about- ADVENTURE. Growing up, leaving home behind and seeing the world beyond, making friends, falling in love..... no RPG has ever accomplished this like the original Grandia.

    Legendary RPG's like this just don't happen these days. :(

  • @haolihfaioefh True...but well, we still have Grandia, the old glory FF's, Wild Arms I to III, Lufia 1 & 2......for me they all stand strong at the same level :)

  • A remake would finally put my heart to rest...

    or at the most a  damn continuation ¬_¬

  • @UtubeH8tr There IS a remake if you according just to the music, made by Noriyuki Iwadare himself, just type in:

    Grandia Online - The Beginning Day

    Have fun :)

  • The Best Game ever... The best sound ever XD

    Nothing is better, no swimming no fishing no flying :D

  • The Best Game ever... The best sound ever XD

    Nothing is better, no swimming no fishing no flying :D

  • I remember I got this as a kid for a birthday gift when I made the mistake of ordering this instead of Gauntlet! Best mistake I ever made. One of the best games I've ever played, hands down.

  • the greatest masterpiece of all time!!!!!

  • ADVENTURE!!!!!:-)

  • Every part of the music reminds me a moment in the game. This is Art, nothing else.

  • A Masterpiece! Because Grandia manages it to handle authentic Topics which

    REALLY move mankind, such as Trust, Love, Courage, Friendship, Treason,

    Mistrust, Racism, Ambush and so on. And they handle it MASTERLY so that

    it moves you emotionally. They DON'T have to make up pseudocool Problems

    like "The L'Cie will Curse us all" which just are unathentic and so don't

    touch you even the slightest.

    AND in Addition: This Game has a PERFECT Gameplay! So WHAT are you waiting for? :>

  • @Justforvisit I couldnt agree with you more...GRANDIA IS JUST EPIC!!

  • Didn't get this game when I had the chance 10 years ago. ; _ ;

    Oh, well, still the best game I've ever played. And having any nostalgia value for this game would probably make me explode.

  • I dont care what anyone says, this is my favourite game of all time. i played this for hours as a kid. good times :')

  • Oh God. This music just brought my early teenage years of playing this game crashing back, and it almost moved me to tears.

  • Man, I love this game. I imagine this will make me quite unpopular here, but this theme song reminds me of Laverne and Shirley. One of the themes that plays after a victory in battle reminds me of Three's Company. Even back when this game first came out, I remember thinking, am I playing some kind of interactive late 70s sitcom? Solely based on the music.

  • Sem dúvida o melhor game que já joguei!

  • Does anyone know where i can download the game so i can play it on my pc, its just i dont have a ps1 anymore, and i looked on eBay to see how much the game costs, and well its quite expensive now, because its soooo rare!! :( If anyone can give mee any advice please tell meee, im a big fan of this game and i have been since i was 6 :(!!

  • @pahndora80 Google is your friend. Search for "Grandia PSX ISO" and then "ePSXe" and see what you find. ;)

  • @kul65 Thanks alot dude :D Just one question, whats the diff between the PSX ISO and the ePSXe?

  • @pahndora80 ePSXe is the "console" and the ISO is the game.

  • this is a torrent file so you definitely need a download accelerator such as utorrent....

    when your done downloading just extract the espxe file and follow instructions, then extract the game file and load it in the espxe emulator, just read a few info on google so you can properly configure the emulator. ;) ihope this works ;)

    BEST GAME IVE EVER PLAY MY WHOLE LIFE!!

  • add me up on yahoo messenger

    and tell me the problem, ill cordially help you! :)

    BEST GAME IVE EVER PLAYED MY WHOLE LIFE!

  • @pahndora80

    ronita43ver at yahoo messenger

  • @pahndora80 if u hav ea ps3 u can download it on that for 10 bucks.

  • @pahndora80

    You can buy the game through the PSN for your PS3 and PSP. This, of course, requires that you have either one of those consoles.

  • @pahndora80 you can also BUY it for pc... just saying ;)

  • My fave game of all time. I still remember the first mission and the funny scenes after 10 years. Go Justin, Sue, and Feena! See? I still remember them <3

  • This game was simply awesome... It was the best rpg I ever had

  • The best game ever i love it the story and musik my first game for ps1 thanks for all

  • The best video game ever

  • MAAAN, This Theme ist so addictive . Every time it appears in the game its more...epic^^

  • It's 2010 now and my memory from this game is so fresh. Love this game so much!!

  • I'd been searching for this game for years and now it was released on PSN. I'm so psyched!

  • Just created an American PSN account and downloaded this yesterday :D (I've lost the first disk for my actual copy D:)

    Best rpg ever <3 Awesome music as well

  • @dunverdon Definitely! Hearing this music wants to make me play the whole thing over again! I haven't played it since 2004 lol

  • I cant help but cry!!! jus, feena, sue!! I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!

    all my dreams, where i am now! its all because of this game!

    AN ADVENTURER NEVER GIVES UP!!!

  • I agreed totally with you!

    The story of this game, means so much to me! And to all too!

    I love Grandia!

  • It comes out on PSN thursday, that day cannot come any sooner.

  • Man I wish they could release it in the AppStore too... :P

  • yeyeye THIS GAME IS THE BEST!!!

    BEST REGARDS FROM MADRID

  • one of the best games ever!!! if it was more advertised could of rivaled the FF series!!!

  • A remake of this would be so WIN. :D Well, if they didn't ruin it...

    This game deserves another chance.

  • this sounds good, too bad I didnt have a PS1 when I was a kid. I was a nintendo child

  • It's mother-fucking adventure time.

  • ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha soooo right ahaha

  • mmmmm... gotta go play the game now D:

  • this song motivates the fuck outta ya lol

  • This will always be one of my most favourite main themes. This together with Brave Fencer Musashi. I adore this game and look forward for the fourth installment in the series (and, yes, I don't count with Grandia Xtreme).

  • nice i beat it twice amazing game;]

  • Ahh Grandia...Tommorow will be my 83rd time finishing it...The best game in the history of the world.

  • This music give me power, i can do everthing... OMG!! sooo good memories... i will allways remember the psx rpgs...

  • I've always wish the game could have lasted longer..such good memories from this game.

  • @1brokenwing2 The game's got at least 80 hours gameplay on adverage, and I completely agree x)

    HD remake anyone? and I mean completely remake, x) not something that will destroy the original [like tombraideraniversary]

  • This is so great! =) 5/5

  • One of the best RPG's ever. Omg I even remember how I got the game. One of my friends from years ago, about 4-5 years ago, let me borrow it because he said he was stuck somewhere so I offered to play it and find out what to do. Turns out to be an awesome game and I asked if I could have it. So he let me have it for free. (He's black and was into sports/FPS games)

  • Hes black? So what?

  • @QwoPhasaArius

    Yeah, I don't know why I mentioned that. Makes me sound racist.

    Maybe what I meant was you don't see many black people into RPG games, but sports and sport games.

  • To be honest myself I dont why I asked that in such a negative way, I actually laughed a little. I hadnt known there was a stereotypical black gamer. Then again I dont know many black people.

    Because I killed them all.

  • I said this a year ago and today I'm realizing the "He's black" part wasn't necessary. I guess I said it because it was weird to see someone black playing RPG games. It's not racist, because it's true.

  • @wildmang03 lol hes black and was into sports/fps games...oh yeah black guys love sports games

  • I'm not trying to be racist, its just the truth. I've never walked into a black guys house with rpg games. I only see sports and wrestling games.

  • @wildmang03 black guys playin rpg's err'day...your argument is invalid

  • I'm sure someone is, I've just never seen it myself.

  • Best game ever!:)

  • Grandia are the best game and has the best mlodys in the whole world

  • Awesome theme that instantly brings back lots of memories.

  • i love it soo much

  • best game ever XD

  • Playstation? Pfft! If only the original Saturn version was brought the US... *cries*

  • damn! best. theme. ever!!!!! :D

  • what this game does is it develops a person's character as a child, gives them a sense of right and wrong and how to treat others and to be courageous and adventurous in life, to leave no stone unturned and make many friends along the way. It certainly does the opposite of what people say video games do to young minds and creates a much profound and greater understanding of morals and life than that of other kids who haven't played this game. It develops your own personality when growing up.

  • @SkepticalMuffin

    I definitely believe that! im 24 years old now and i have my wife and kids, and still i felt it that way,,,, AN ADVENTURER NEVER GIVE UP!!

    thats what i always say when problems took over. i just want to share;)

    i promise, one day ill make sure that my kids will play this game. FOR THEIR OWN GOOD :)

  • @jaztin23 haha yeah get them to play it, don't know how they will respond to the crappy graphics but

  • @SkepticalMuffin man i wish i finished this game, i got it at the perfect age, i think i was 5-7 years old and i didnt finish it =/ perhaps if i did, i could have had a different personality, or atleast better morales, i love this game, they make me feel good, so much work done to create something beautiful. and the music, just blows you away, maybe even shedding a tear or two. i loved this piece of art, and no piece of art has ever made me feel so many different emotions, but this game, has.

  • @ryankhan11 5-7 is too young! 8-14 is a better age. heck you can even play it when you're older than that i suppose

  • @SkepticalMuffin It helped me develop my personality so much :D

  • @SkepticalMuffin That's so true man. After playing this game it change me a lot and I use to be mean but now I feel I developed my own personality :)

  • They should have made the Grandia series follow on from this story or somehow connect it with justin's kids etc...would have been sick as

  • O Melhor RPG de Todos os Tempos!

  • the best rpg ever! i love this game and this sonf <3

  • This has to be one of the best rpg's ever.

    And this theme is so great, it just screams "We're going on a frickin adventure!! The Adventure of your life."

  • I suggest everyone who likes Grandia to see the animated movie Laputa: The Castle in the Sky. It's often compared to Grandia and they do have a very similar plot and overall feel and look. It was really interesting to see, being the big fan of Grandia that I am.

    I hadn't heard of these two having anything the same, I just blindly saw the movie, because the director is one of my favorites and couldn't help at noticing the resemblance.

  • They really are quite alike. I just wish there was a Leen style sacrifize in it. :P

  • Yeah that would seal the deal, good movie tho.

  • Im a Miyazaki and Grandia fan, but Im not sure what you mean? They arent really flying all that much in Grandia are they? Or do you mean Justin and Feena adventuring being similiar to Pazu and Sheeta? (sorry, I havent played this game in 9 years, I forgot why they even left their town to go to Elencia)

  • The most similar thing is the pendant in Laputa that is pretty much the same thing as the spirit stone in Grandia. Also the drawing and the landscape and objects of Laputa just very much resemble Grandia. The plot with the military and all also feel similar to each other. And you gotta admit when Pazu has his flying glasses or whatever they are on he looks like Justin. Atleast for me when I saw Laputa for the first time I immidiately from the beginning felt that I was watching a Grandia movie.
