The one that is clearly an asset from the original version that hasn't had a thick greasy filter slapped onto it that pops up in the middle of an animation because they overlooked it during development.

It is though. It's one of the most boring and shitty rpgs I ever played. It's only good thing is the battle system but that's moot because it's so fucking easy you never have to use any strategy.

Beyond the fact that this upscaling looks awful, how would you even miss any of the sprites? As far as I know, all they need to do is run to upscaling on the entire set of sprites and then call it a day.

It's incredible. There's a ton of stuff they missed in the background that I'm not going to bother posting. I like how they didn't even bother to do anything with the compass which is something that's right there on the screen for 90% of the game.

I actually like the first few hours of the story a lot (it pulls the storybook "going on an adventure" vibe really well) but you're 100% right about the combat. It's a textbook example of great ideas gone to waste because of terrible design in other areas and I always come back to it when I try to explain how JRPG devs care more about flashiness and novelty than actually delivering a satisfying game experience. It's one of those games where you keep telling yourself "I wish I was playing a different game with the exact same combat system" the whole time you're playing (I eventually tried Grandia 2 and Grandia Xtreme but they both also have their own issues). Having this much freedom in combat is pointless when every single opponent is a brainless sack of HP, you never have to exploit the system to its fullest extent because JRPG devs haven't had the balls to make players face legitimate threats since the NES days.

That's the heart of my problem with the game. It was marketed on and sets up being all about the trill of adventure and then is a huge letdown in that very area. Every dungeon and area is super linear and short so there's barely ever actually a sense of exploring.

That's literally what a remaster is, you dumbshit.

>>5816954
This. It's still overpriced as fuck, but anyone who thought they were going to get anything more than an aspect ratio tweak and a rushed filter job is a first class tool. It's a 20-year-old game in a dead franchise that really only had a cult following in the first place, and the company that handled it is some literal who that oursourced most of it to some even more literal who studio. How are vidya fags so dumb they keep setting themselves up for disappointment like this?

I ain't disappointed because I knew it would be an abomination from how disgustingly terrible their Steam release of Grandia 2 was that actually somehow managed to be buggier and shittier than the old shitty Ubisoft PC port from mid 00s.
I'm glad the Saturn dude is translating it and that this exists for 2:

OP here. You're dense. This has nothing to do with whether or not the original sprites are bad. It has to do with this being such a lazy "remaster" that they completely missed some of the sprites while going through and adding the shitty filter over everything.
