Episode description
Inside every cynic, there is a disappointed idealist.
Grandia II felt like an RPG ahead of its time in 2000, with sophisticated active-time battles, smart underlying systems, and clever writing anchored by Ryudo, Grandia II's sarcastic protagonist. Today's episode of Retro Encounter discusses the characters, mechanics, and first-half story of Grandia II, especially how its modern touches and angst contrast against the earnest optimism of the first Grandia.
Featuring: Zach Wilkerson, Ben Love, Claton Stevenson; Edited by Michael Sollosi
