So I’ve wanted to play Grandia 2 for a long while now but never sat down and got started. I was really excited to watch your video but also didn’t want to ruin the game for myself - so I started the game as soon as your video dropped and have been periodically watching bit by bit as I make my way through the game. Just got past the boss at 13:45. I’m just playing through normally - and I can definitely see why people would say the game is on the easy side - especially if you focus on leveling the right skills and abilities. That being said, this boss was definitely the first real challenge of the game. Not too bad, didn’t get a game over or anything, but it was the first time any of my party members had died in a fight, and it happened like, three times throughout. Definitely excited to keep this up and see how you handle the rest of the game as I go through it.
That's great to hear, man! Definitely keep me up to date. Although I kinda don't recommend picking up the game during the outro 😅 Difficulty is a big factor. By now you've already faced the second hardest boss in the game, which is such a shame. The combat system is really interesting imo, but they just never challenge you with it. Story is really cheesy too, but for me the most annoying part was that it just takes tooooo long. Story kinda overstays its welcome during act 3, and being unable to skip combat animations makes fight drag on longer than they should. That being said, I did enjoy doing this challenge itself. It was more fun (though wayy less demanding) than my DQ8 Solo run just because I'm not stunlocked into healing 99% of the time.
@@ffoozie NICEEE!! Thanks for the reply man! I'm enjoying how TH-cam keeps recommending your videos non-stop after I've watched your two DQ VIII videos. I enjoyed watching these two so much that I went looking to see if there were any others with “Only Using Yangus or Jessica”. haha
@@ffooziewhat games you have in mind? Curious if you play any of the “Star Ocean” or “Tales” games or if you prefer to stick to things with more of a turn based structure?
@TheBatMan1 not gonna spoil what's coming up ;) But it's not gonna be turn based, gonna try something else and see if it works out. No, contrary to what my last three videos may show you, I'm not actually that big of a jrpg guy. Though I have been interested in trying the Tales series for a while, I just have no idea where to start.
@@ffooziegotcha. Lookin forward to it man. As far as the Tales series goes, most people will probably tell you Tales of Symphonia or perhaps Tales of Vesperia are the best places to start. While they’re not wrong, and they’re some of my personal favorites, I actually prefer Tales of the Abyss and Tales of Graces F personally. But you can honestly jump in anywhere. This is a *kind of* unpopular opinion of mine, but I personally think the series started going downhill once it hit the PS4 generation. Really disliked Zestiria and Berseria and (again, real unpopular opinion here) I absolutely hated Tales of Arise. But anyway, I’ll keep looking forward to your stuff man! This video finally got me to get off my butt and pick up Grandia 2 for the first time, really enjoying it so far.
DAD BROUGHT BACK THE MILK!!
RETURN OF THE KING
Glad you're back, great video!

I love this series man. It's so much fun to watch with your narration! I hope one day you'll make another Dragon Quest VIII video.
Definitely! I want to diversify a bit first, though. Two or three more videos of other games, and then I plan on returning to DQVIII!
