The story focuses on Ryudo the Geohound (a kind of mercenary) and his talking bird, Skye. Together they accept a mission from the town of Carbo's church as bodyguards for Elena, a Songstress of Granas, who is on her way to Garmia Tower. The job turns into something much more after an incident at the tower, and Ryudo and Elena find themselves travelling all over the world, meeting some new friends and some new enemies.

Grandia 2 is a fantastic adventure. The story, characters and music were enjoyable throughout.
I really enjoyed the duality of Elena and Millenia, and how their roles really shine as the game progresses. Ryudo was also an enjoyable protagonist who balances the other two characters well.
While I wouldn't be in a hurry to play Grandia 2 over the first game, I'd still revisit it again just to hang out with the cast.
Where the game falls is during the second half, but picks up again in the end. The other fault, comparing to the first game, is that the adventure just doesn't feel as "grand" in comparison.

En su conjunto, el videojuego es bastante bueno, con una historia que aunque al inicio es algo lenta, en su tercer acto es sencillamente impresionante y aún con una conclusión más bien tibia, tiene unos momentos muy destacables, musicalmente es bueno a secas, los personajes pueden ser bastante buenos y la jugabilidad es entretenida, quizá la mayor falencia es su pésimo rendimiento y en algunas ocasiones los bugs visuales que pueden ser bastante odiosos, y aunque en su versión de Dreamcast es mejor, al no ser la que jugué se queda corto y es bastante bajo que sacaran una versión para PS2 de esa manera. En general considero que aunque es bastante bueno, hacerlo algo más corto hubiera sido mejor, pues ciertas partes se sienten como que pudieron ser comprimidas y serían mejor. Una experiencia grata, con un rendimiento desagradable pero muy recomendable.
