Hey, maybe they're going to surprise us with the museum!

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. That would be like the best thing ever and thus far too unreal to happen :Aste_Roy:

A guy can hope, right? They are certainly taking long enough to inspire the thought!

"Grandia II Anniversary Edition is being renamed to Grandia II HD Remaster, which is being sold separately on PC."

I'm not sure if this means that there will be a new pc version of 2 (presumably with new features) or that you can buy each game individually on pc versus as a bundle on switch. Either way, I'm hyped!

Grandia features

Enhanced details to UI, sprites, and texture art
Original cinematic videos receiving visual enhancements
Widescreen support and customizable resolutions (only for PC)
Steam cards and Achievements (only for PC)
Audio: Japanese and English
Language Support: Original English and
Japanese plus French and German translation
Gamepad and keyboard support with remappable controls (only for PC)

The fact that they left out steam achievements as a Steam feature would imply these are things being upgraded on the Steam version. So it seems to be a big upgrade coming to the version of 2 already available as opposed to leaving it the same and just getting 1 or getting a separated other version

Sounds like this version will be upgraded for existing owners.

Edit: They clearly say so- "Additionally, GRANDIA® II Anniversary Edition will be renamed to GRANDIA II HD Remaster, which will be sold separately from GRANDIA HD Remaster on PC."

It was hard enough back then in my opinion.

How are the chances for a Grandia 3 HD Remaster?

It never came out in Europe and I am fine with English only.

for you, sure. Grandia 1 is one of the easiest JRPGs ever made though.

If we get it, can we close up the story holes?

[Debrel]

They're not going to finish someone elses game, just rerelease it.

So... since Star Ocean was on their list of remakes and SE announced it (with no mention I could find of Gung Ho) I wonder what happened there eh?

Maybe SE will remaster Grandia 3

It's funny that this will be getting renamed, since it was originally *supposed* to be called Grandia II HD Edition before it was renamed to Anniversary Edition.

I just, still, want to know if one of the original features they listed on the announcement for the Switch version is going to get updated on this version: "Fix PC video/audio desync and switch to XInput". That first part was one of the big things I disliked about this version and would love if it was finally fixed.

Curious about Grandia 2 being renamed on Steam as well, will it retroactively add updates that actually FIX the freaking game?
