DESCRIPTION

Grandia II offers gamers a new role-playing tale, which does not continue directly from the storyline found in 1999's PlayStation original Grandia. You play the part of Ryudo, a bodyguard who has been hired to protect the priestess Elena. Elena is to be escorted to the Church of Granas where she will take part in a ceremony to seal an evil presence called Valmar. The events that follow will unfold into an adventure that will take Ryudo through an expansive world filled with towns and dungeons.

Along with his eagle, Ryudo will be joined by others throughout his journey. There is the mysterious Millenia, the very young Roen, and the hunter Maregg. The foursome will do battle with a wide variety of monsters via the battle system that was first developed for Grandia. During battles all of the characters and enemies are on-screen. There is a time meter that everyone uses which displays how long each character (including the enemies) must wait until they can attack. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide
