Developer: Game Arts Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment Release Date: October 26, 1999 Platforms: PS1 JustRPG Score: 91% Pros: +Unique magic system. +Great voice acting. +Classic RPG action. Cons: -Slow story line. -Dated graphics. -Some characters are annoying. |
Grandia Overview
Grandia is a traditional RPG for the Sony Playstation 1. This basic role playing game is like most created at this time. Characters will level up and gain new abilities and stats and will grow stronger the more you use them. Where this game differs from others in the genre is it’s magic system. Players exchange magic eggs to learn a type of spell. As the player uses that spell it will level up and they will learn more. If you have two types of spells and level them both you will also get new spells that are combinations of the two. The story starts out really slow and is a bore at first, but later on the story picks up and gets much more engaging.

Front Mission 3 Overview
Front Mission 3 is a tactics style role playing game that was released for the Sony Playstation 1 in late 1999. Players control robots known as wanzers through multiple story lines.

Players will watch a cut scene, prepare their mecha for battle, and then enter the tactics style missions. As players complete missions on the world map more will pop up until they beat the game. Although the combat is very similar to the other Front Mission games players are now able to attack the pilots of the mecha themselves.

Final Fantasy 8 Overview
Final Fantasy games have it pretty tough. They’re often compared to other Final Fantasy games, which isn’t an easy task for any game. A lot of fans, including me to some extent, found VIII a bit of a disappointment, but it’s by no means a bad game. It’s probably the most innovative of all the Final Fantasy games, and it’s so different that it’s likely going to take some getting used to.
