Grandia

Meanwhile, Justin, a young boy from the nearby town of Parm, decides to investigate the ruins in search of the Spirit Stone, an artefact that once belonged to his missing father.

A mysterious holographic image tells him that he should travel to faraway lands to discover the stone's true power, and he embarks on the most dangerous adventure of his life without hesitation.

Grandia is a Japanese-style role-playing game.

The characters are represented by 2D sprites which are moved around over 3D backgrounds in towns and dungeons.

The game makes use of anime-style cutscenes to advance the story.

Combat is initiated by coming into contact with enemies on the screen, rather than through random battles.

Battles occur in pseudo-real-time, using an 'IP Gauge' to determine when a character takes action.

Striking at the right time or with the right ability can even delay or cancel an enemy's turn.

The characters in the game gradually advance in level as they gain experience points for killing monsters.

Characters also gain experience based on the weapon (e.g. sword, mace, whip, etc.) or magic (e.g. fire, water, etc.) that they use, powering up their spells and learning new ones from continuous usage.

There are a large number of spells, weapons, and other items to use throughout the game.

Grandia for PlayStation is currently worth €34.96 loose, €24.00 complete in box, and €133.67 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Grandia has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Grandia, loose is €34.96 and CIB is €24.00 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of Grandia is currently worth €34.96 loose, versus €27.07 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
