Pressing the Square button you can automatically cast a magic spell, pressing the “X” button you can attack and the Start button opens up a menu that allows you to switch magic and use items. The reasons for this are simple, one the PS1 couldn’t hold a candle to the N64 in what rendering 3-D worlds was concerned, but even then the Granstream Saga didn’t exactly pushed the PS1 Hardware to the limit.

Now the negatives, first of all the camera view point is horrendous, unlike the typical PS1 ¾ over the top point of view that games like Xenogears, Grandia and Breath of Fire use. Not only that the game features some of the most gorgeous anime CG scenes ever featured in a game. You can control the character movement by using the “D” pad, and block with the “O” button. I could rant all day about the game... but I'm going to keep it as short as possible.

Or at least, it is for me. Updated July 24, 2019. Shade, is the developer team behind this game, they had great ideas but they poorly executed most of them. The system really relies on patience, as long as you hold the block button down, you can’t take any damage (as long as the enemies don’t use a special attack which in most cases is easy to counter), so all you have to do in theory is wait for the enemy to open up and then attack.

Addictiveness: 7.0 — Two endings but if you save before the last boss then all you have to do is fight the boss twice while picking a different girl and bam…you have seen both endings. The story of Zeruge and Princess Ellemera is even more interesting than the story of Eon, Arcia, and Laramee, so why did they let the villain just ramble on about it, instead of letting the gamers experience the whole thing slowly throughout the game? Especially because those Zelda games were released after the Granstream Saga was out, in the shelves.

By Samuel Rivera Feb 10, 2019 Granstream Saga, PS1. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Historical review upon the twilight of a once glorious era. And thus Shade screwed up big time; again maybe this was a side effect of rushing the game. Only a few things in life have been more stupid and pointless, the Vietnam War and Kill Bill for example. The story in the Granstream Saga starts like this, you play as Eon, an Orphan who was found by and old man named Valos, Eon had a scepter attached to his arm when found, Valos raised him as his son. Shade was trying to disguise some horrific graphical flaws that the game has.

The only thing that hinders exploration here is the awful camera, and the fact that the towns and continents are fairly small. Unc... One of them is a police officer.

Relive an adventurous tale rich with agents, espionage, and conspiracies. No eyes, ears, eyebrows, nose or mouth. The story moves at a decent pace, however the is almost Zero character development during the entire thing, if it wasn’t for the CG cinemas anyone would have a hard time telling me that Laramee and Arcia are both in love with Eon.

The Granstream Saga ditches that perspective in favor of a full over the top view, meaning the camera is always on top of Eon (the main character) looking straight down, this allows for some confusion during dungeons, and for limited view of the game’s impressive (at the time) 3-D backgrounds, during battles however the perspective switches to the more traditional (and truth be told more efficient) ¾ view. In fact the story was getting right down boring and predictable, even though Slayzer kept me somewhat awake, until a hint of a previous lifetime that Eon had was dropped.

It has only cost 10$ (canadian) and I only played once with it when I was younger.

The Voice acting is top notch, some of the best ever in a PS1 RPG if I might say so, all the actors delivered solid performances, except Korky and Arcia who pretty much stank throughout the entire game. Who knows maybe even go the extra mile and add some scenes in order for the game to have moderately better character development. The other is possessed by an ancient evil threatening all life on Earth.

Which brings us to number two, Shade rushed the game out of the gate in order to beat the FAR superior Ocarina of Time into the market, and to cash in on FFVII’s commercial success. But even then, the game kept up the boring pace until the very end when you enter the very last dungeon and the villain decides to reveal everything.

The Granstream Saga is an RPG that every time I play (I have played through it 4 times now) angers me, because it is a game that had loads of potential to achieve greatness but the developers never seemed to followed through with their great ideas. This is the prelude to a story that could have been great.

So I bought it. If the story would have been judge on just the concept it would have gotten a ten but the execution was completely ridiculous. Whether the Granstream Saga was rushed or not, there is no excuse for ruining a game that could have and should have been great. What really hurts the score here, is some repetitive music particularly in the dungeons. The way you get level is all through... Read Full Review, I bought this used game at EbGames one or two years ago. It boggles the mind what this game could have been…. One tedious aspect in battle is that you can’t move while using your shield but maybe I am just spoiled by Zelda. Gamespot rated The Grandstream Saga a 6.7/10.
