May I ask why? I own Grandia II as well and I want to hear other people's opinions about it. Well first of all the battle system is completely unique and awesome. Special moves are cool too; perfect controls, deep character development system, awesome graphics, great character designs, and cool music. It also has one of the coolest rpg characters of all time Melfice! He is just the best along with Seymour and Sepheroth(SP?).
