| | Not only is the scenario and the characters more mature, the world the game takes place in has a cool and harsh feel to it, so the image of the game itself will be a different one than the one that you've seen. | | | Well, although there are many playing styles of playing an RPG, it should take about 40 hours for a player to complete Grandia II. | | | We're trying to make the game so that, for example, when a player sees the battle scenes, he'll think, "Man, this is cool". |

| | You can't really say Famitsu is being biased for giving a game a good score, if you haven't played it and can't say for sure how good or bad it is. | | | For those who are going with the idea that Famitsu loves Square-Enix so much they give good reviews to all their games blindly, then you need actualy look at their record. | | | I'm sure the editors of Famitsu are quaking in their boots wondering how to recapture the American fanboy market with their Japanese magazine that's sold in Japan to Japanese gamers. |
