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.
About PlayStation
The original PlayStation (1994) brought CD-based gaming and 3D graphics to the mainstream, ending Nintendo's console dominance of the previous two generations. It's now firmly in "retro collecting" territory: original jewel cases with intact manuals command a real premium over disc-only copies, and several RPGs from its later years (when Sony deliberately courted the genre) are among the most expensive commonly-collected games from the era.
Gamevaro tracks Grandia [Alternative Cover] for PlayStation with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Grandia [Alternative Cover] to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Grandia [Alternative Cover] has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning enough copies circulate to establish a reliable market price.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
