I’ve heard (and maybe someone who knows can explain better since I haven’t played them myself yet) that modders did a great job fixing visual issues in the Grandia PC ports. If we don’t get an official option to remove the filter/change the graphics, I’m hopeful that someone in the mod community would be willing to help us out!
I’m super excited to have this game on Steam, finally! But seriously, this trend of filtering over what was once gorgeous pixel art in the name of an “HD Remaster” makes me so sad.
In the Japanese release for Switch, there's an option to make the sprites a little less/more blurry/pixelated, but it's a cosmetic change.

Still, this is the first remake in which there's an option to recolor the sprites to fit the portaits' colors from the GBA/PSP. Until now they were still in the colors of portraits from the WSC version.

Demons' portraits were also colored to fit the sprites for the first time.

So Sting did a lot with this remake this time, considering their small staff (and much different from the "Golden Dept. Heaven Era").
I'm also hoping modders can fix it up so it doesn't look so smeared/etc.
Getting flashbacks of the godawful filter-job Gungho pulled on Grandia "HD". Mods kinda helped, but those introduced more glitches that never got fixed...
Dunno if youre the one who gave 2 unicorns to everyone, but the last 3 replies before me (Your reply, along with Milobadger and cyxceven's replies) were missing one unicorn, so I finished the job for you and I gave you a second treasure chest and a bag of points to Shylaar while I was at it.
Only 11 hours left until the game comes out! I agree that it would be awesome if we could remove the filter, but personally, with or without the filter, Im still gonna play the hell outta this game! Its gonna be hard to fall asleep tonight! XD

edit: looks like they're using the upscaled psp sprites to me, sad, backgrounds all blurred too. Maybe we can request original sprite work and backgrounds, just tired of this happening... it's every single sprite game

I guess it's like Tactics Ogre where they thought it was a good idea to redesign the base sprites themselves to look like an ugly smoothing filter. Baffling.
I wonder if they can include the gba rom/psp disc image in this as a bonus. I love it when games do that.
