people said Grandia I was the best Grandia...but for me, nothing will ever be able to beat Grandia II. This was by far the best JRPG ever made and I am sad FF got to live on while this series just vanished even though it was way better in terms of story, characters and battle system.
as well as Ryudo and others. It's just emotions of Elena sometimes were strangely reflected by voice, but still it's cute. And yeah, tried to play with japanese voices - damn no.
funny you guys say that because back in the day i remember people always saying besides ryudo and melfice everyone else was kinda average but obviously everythings better than grandia 1's
To this day my favorite rpg since 99 ahhh good times this is the game that really got me into the genre. I played finally fantasy but this game the story the humor the depth of it all really sucked me in. I would so love a remake of this game the battle system was very fun and revolutionary i haven’t seen anything quite like it. Thanks for the upload
It's true, Grandia 1 and 2 were amazing, but then they dropped the ball. It's like they thought "This series is popular now, let's push out some crap to sell based on the name alone."
well its a talking bird so i assume that implies hes intelligent enough to poop in the woods... also 100% guarantee the developers didnt think of that anyway
I wish this game was remade! With the same battle system, but its just a fools dream...Grandia is my favorite 3D RPG and i consider its battle system the best turn based battle system ever made.
Man, I always loved the dude's voice who played Ryudo. He was so awesomely over-the-top dramatic. I played through the game multiple times and always got excited to see this parts for some reason. lol
Lol I just found out that Ryudo is voiced by Cam Clarke, the same person who played Leonardo in the 80s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Cartoon, lol Ryudo is a TMNT
@@jayesper4390 Yep and Jennifer Hale (Elena) has been voice acting since the 90's and Millenia is none other than Jodi Benson who voiced Ariel in Disney's The Little Mermaid.
I remember when my friend first introduced me to this game,at first I thought "This probably won't be that great,but it'll be something to play" You have no idea how happy I was that I was dead wrong and this fight...hoo boy...this fight...lots of...painful memories of getting wrecked,usually by Demon Horde Slash or Wailing Soul Slash.
"sworn enemies, you shall be defeated, take that! sky dragon slash!" lol to this day that quote remains to be my favorite battle quote in all games, It always stuck in my head, I never forgot it ever since I originally played this game back in 01 when I was like 6.
Ryudo will always be greatest male protagonist of all RPGs. Strong leadership and strong character development. I wish every male protagonist will be like Ryudo. 💙
Most people think his laugh's annoying but I think it's pretty badass. Constantly cold and condescending, expressing his contempt at the futility of their efforts. In a way it kinda sums up exactly what kind of person he is just by hearing it. Also, 10 years after playing this, I've realised that he kinda sounds like Pierce Brosnan.
This game was such an epic masterpiece for its time. I remember back when I was 13 years old playing this game how gripped I was at the story behind Ryudo and Melfice. I may have to bust out the PS2 again just to beat this game again.
I had forgotten just how good Ryudo's VA was in this game. Melfice was amazing as well. It's been years...can't believe how much has changed since I first played this game; but I'm amazed that my nostalgia seems to be warranted. The game appears to be as good as I remembered it.
His regenorater (that thing on his shoulder that does the weird laugh) sounded a lot cooler on the Dreamcast. But anyways, thanks for the upload, Melfice is my favorite character in this game.
this was the first jrpg that i liked and it introduced me to the genre, pretty much. it's still my favorite to this day. and heck i could never find a turn based combat system this good ever again. funny, thing, my second favorite jrpg is mario RPG, and it was the second game in the genre i played. third was ff7 but i don't really hold that one with nearly as much regard.
I had to listen to the scene before the final fight so often because I always lost (because I didn't know how to use SC and MC at that time^^") and now I know that part by heartXD I always speak with the charactersXd I love that scene^o^
Grandia 2 had a huge impact in my life, it got into RPG's and is one of my all time favourites, It's in my top 20, my top 15, my top 10, my top 5 hell, it's even in my top 3 games of all time list's. the Story was decent but sure hey, you dont play a game for story (you read a book for that purpose) The Characters were colourful and lovable, the music was amazing and the Gameplay was so unique and revolutionary that im suprised it never big on the field.
character development ;) though ryudo is still one of the most manliest jrpg main protaganist ever, even if this scene comes across a little cheesy, he's well aware that power corrupts and that sadism is flat out wrong and he tries to convey this to his brother, the guy who he grew up with, even the manliest of men would get emotional over it, heck even dante cry's when vergil dies.
this game was super hard for me as a kid i never new wat the blue bar was so i always ran out of combos with the red bar but i still beat it. took me yearsss
Ahhh the memories, i remember the first time i fought Melfice trying to help a friend to beat him and it took me quite a while because my friend avoided fights whenever possible so he was pretty weak for this fight....how i hated that laugh man....
@CoquettiShi I do a try for the moment and I reached lv 70 now I will go on :) I also got a shorter fight against Melfice ( lv 38) dunno why you always need so much time to beat him...
I think Melfice's laugh is quite alright and not annoying at all, actually. It's just one of those charms. A design choice. The music, sound and voice acting are top notch. If there's any series I can say without any hesitation is one of, if not my favorite. It'd be the Grandia series. Noriyuki Iwadare is by far one of the best composers there is and the voice acting, well, it too is some of the best. If anyone wants to get into voice acting, this is a prime example of pure quality.
@RyudoXy I got that after finishing the DC version, most of the videos are wrong :( And they don't speak when they attack, only at spells and techniques.
I just dont understand something. At 4:30 why not drop the impact bomb on the incomming attack on melfice body to cancle it. At 5:03 the same with Maregs Beastfang cut or defend the attack from melfice sword. T_T why
That bastard Melfice made me have to start my game over, JUST so I could grind more and be around his level. SONOVABITCH! This game was my favorite RPG back in the day.

Well that's your opinion about that
I’d say it’s around the same level as ff7, but ff7 is hype
"Dance with me, brother!" Best line ever and John Cygan delivers it so well.
Can Ryudo use Maken Valborg ?
JeannieLuv Yeah. RIP John.
No king wanna fuk w Melfice
I love how Melfice has the best voice acting by a very, very large margin.
+John McDude (Face) They should have thrown David Hayter in there, just for good measure. Then the 3 brothers would be united once more.
+John McDude (Face) Maybe i`m wrong, but seems like it`s the same actor that voiced Irenicus in BG 2 - David Warner. EDIT: nope, missed
Mareg's voice actor did a fantastic job too. His delivery to Melfice when they first find him was leagues above the others.
as well as Ryudo and others. It's just emotions of Elena sometimes were strangely reflected by voice, but still it's cute. And yeah, tried to play with japanese voices - damn no.

HEEHEHHEEEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE
You typed this 11 years ago, and I am now replying. That laugh.. I still hear that laugh to this day!
A desolate place, without any trace, it's only the cold wind i feel...
@@doyltruddy902 im still here lol
Damn ! When I played this Many years ago, i was thinking : yeah The games in The future will be so great !!!
I was wrong ...
It's true, Grandia 1 and 2 were amazing, but then they dropped the ball. It's like they thought "This series is popular now, let's push out some crap to sell based on the name alone."
Not really. You just have to look at Indie games as the new paradigm for gaming since big business has cornered the gaming industry.
Gavin R. grandia 2 I think was the best in the series
Haha agreed, Xtreme & III were nice...but they were leagues behind I & II in my opinion.
But games today are great!
Ryudo is the greatest JRPG lead ever, closely followed by Yuri from Shadow Hearts.
I'll say gustave xiii
I prefer Justin from Grandia I. Ryudo having a Pooping bird always pooping in his shoulder lol.
well its a talking bird so i assume that implies hes intelligent enough to poop in the woods...
also 100% guarantee the developers didnt think of that anyway
Had you have Bird pets? They literally poop unconsciously without effort all the time. Like they not aware they pooping.
yeah no im sticking with what i said
I wish this game was remade! With the same battle system, but its just a fools dream...Grandia is my favorite 3D RPG and i consider its battle system the best turn based battle system ever made.
TheFormHater
Thanks. It would be nice to have a full remake.
Agreed!
just play grandia 3 :D
While the story in Grandia 3 is flawed, the gameplay had some improvements.
R.E.D. ODA same here
Man, I always loved the dude's voice who played Ryudo. He was so awesomely over-the-top dramatic. I played through the game multiple times and always got excited to see this parts for some reason. lol
Cam Clarke!
Cam Clarke is a legend :)
Lol I just found out that Ryudo is voiced by Cam Clarke, the same person who played Leonardo in the 80s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Cartoon, lol Ryudo is a TMNT
@@megathesimper4050 For real? THAT long he's been VAing?! Don was still my fav though.
@@jayesper4390 Yep and Jennifer Hale (Elena) has been voice acting since the 90's and Millenia is none other than Jodi Benson who voiced Ariel in Disney's The Little Mermaid.
Every time i watch Melfice's death, I am reminded of the fact that John Cygan is no longer with us... rest in peace...
still have Isshin Chiba... he still alive along with Jin Kazama (Tekken), not only John Cygan
Words are meaningless, dance with me.
Goosebumps, this game man, what a masterpiece.
I really liked melfice's laugh :p
I remember when my friend first introduced me to this game,at first I thought "This probably won't be that great,but it'll be something to play" You have no idea how happy I was that I was dead wrong and this fight...hoo boy...this fight...lots of...painful memories of getting wrecked,usually by Demon Horde Slash or Wailing Soul Slash.
supersonic227 Yeah if you were underleveled going into this fight... ho boy.
"What JUSTICE?! True justice... True power is in the heart. Not in something VILE like you!"
OMG, I freaking LOVE that part!
"Words are meaningless" --
I love that line
So many years and I still get goosebumps watching the story unfold
BEST GRANDIA EVER
This game is the best 💜
Elena: "Are you sure Ryudo...really..."Ryudo: "He is not my brother.. "Elena: "Alright..." *throws a fucking grenade at Melfice*Ryudo: "Wait, WTF..."
That laugh when he uses Wow always makes me shed a tear such wonderful memories.
"sworn enemies, you shall be defeated, take that! sky dragon slash!" lol to this day that quote remains to be my favorite battle quote in all games, It always stuck in my head, I never forgot it ever since I originally played this game back in 01 when I was like 6.
6:14
That part is so fitting with the music, epic explosion + dramatic tune.
Purple Lightning is basically Ryudo's own version of Wailing Soul Slash.
Parallels moveset
Man, I miss this game! Sky Dragon Slash was just epic!
This was my favorite part of the game.
I wish they had a special sound track for their fight.
Jedimindfunk They do... ruclips.net/video/rz59URA_Q1s/видео.html
grandia II was AMAZINGGGGG
I had such a crush on Ryudo, loved this game!
Ryudo will always be greatest male protagonist of all RPGs. Strong leadership and strong character development. I wish every male protagonist will be like Ryudo. 💙

i f*cking love the voices !!!!! amazing really everytime i hear them talk
Melfice's voice acting is actually really good. How has Ryan Cygan not had more big roles?
Chris Noble It's a shame he didn't have more roles before he passed away.
this shenmue and skies of Arcadia legend will always be my favs!!! !
I love fighting Melfice!!! It's the best fight in the game in my opinion.
all heroes are forged through tragedies.
Melfice was a good hero, a good bro. RIP
Best RPG series, im still playing time by time
This game was such an epic masterpiece for its time. I remember back when I was 13 years old playing this game how gripped I was at the story behind Ryudo and Melfice. I may have to bust out the PS2 again just to beat this game again.
brings back childhood memories
I love this game and this is why my name evolved to what it is now! =) My favorite RPG hands down!!!!!
"Words are meaningless now. Dance with me, brother!". Epic.
Melfice, epic & badass.
Soooo memorable man!!!! lol, man I still remember this, like a long lost dream I had, and it still holding some place in my heart. Great Great game.
I get goose bump every single time. Melfice impacted my life way more than any other rpg villian even more than Kefka (ff6) or any other
I had forgotten just how good Ryudo's VA was in this game. Melfice was amazing as well. It's been years...can't believe how much has changed since I first played this game; but I'm amazed that my nostalgia seems to be warranted. The game appears to be as good as I remembered it.
Cam Clarke
His regenorater (that thing on his shoulder that does the weird laugh) sounded a lot cooler on the Dreamcast. But anyways, thanks for the upload, Melfice is my favorite character in this game.
One of the awesomest parts in this game. I finished it so many times... BUT IT'S AWESOME!
Anyone think Melfice and Seymour Guado are related?
wow
on my first playthrough I beat him using only Ryudo's attacks.
...on my FIRST.
rip in peace
I love his laugh
This is my ultimate attack...THE WAILING SOUL SLASH!
1:41 - 5:53
"you can't even touch me!!"
*dies right after*
Are you trying to beat your older brother Ryudo?!
"To those in my way I grant a FABULOUS DEATH!"
Ha ha ha this line is awesome
The message was well delivered but the protagonists was too dumb to find other ways to reach him.
this was the first jrpg that i liked and it introduced me to the genre, pretty much. it's still my favorite to this day. and heck i could never find a turn based combat system this good ever again. funny, thing, my second favorite jrpg is mario RPG, and it was the second game in the genre i played. third was ff7 but i don't really hold that one with nearly as much regard.
Listen closely and you can hear the Liquid Snake in Ryudo's voice
played this game so much i could recite all melfice parts my favorite character.
eines meiner lieblingsspiele
melfice > sephiroth any day
he definitely ain't no momma's boy
I had to listen to the scene before the final fight so often because I always lost (because I didn't know how to use SC and MC at that time^^") and now I know that part by heartXD I always speak with the charactersXd I love that scene^o^
Melfice is bad ass...but he geeks out like Beavis and Butthead lol
fantastic! i love this game! Ryudo vs. Melfice is SO sad! :'(
I said this thousands time, and will said it again! -evil grins- Despair itself is the only true joy!
Melfice has some awesome attacks... Grandia 2 was the most fun RPG for me so far.... The characters were so totally awesome!
Melfice --
"You'll have to beat me to get all your answers. "
Grandia 2 had a huge impact in my life, it got into RPG's and is one of my all time favourites, It's in my top 20, my top 15, my top 10, my top 5 hell, it's even in my top 3 games of all time list's. the Story was decent but sure hey, you dont play a game for story (you read a book for that purpose) The Characters were colourful and lovable, the music was amazing and the Gameplay was so unique and revolutionary that im suprised it never big on the field.
You are not my brother! You are Valmar!
4:05
character development ;)
though ryudo is still one of the most manliest jrpg main protaganist ever, even if this scene comes across a little cheesy, he's well aware that power corrupts and that sadism is flat out wrong and he tries to convey this to his brother, the guy who he grew up with, even the manliest of men would get emotional over it, heck even dante cry's when vergil dies.
this game was super hard for me as a kid i never new wat the blue bar was so i always ran out of combos with the red bar but i still beat it. took me yearsss
poor ryudo :,(
That lotus attack is my fav lol
It always hits so fast
Melfice: Was my faith misplaced?...
Ahhh the memories, i remember the first time i fought Melfice trying to help a friend to beat him and it took me quite a while because my friend avoided fights whenever possible so he was pretty weak for this fight....how i hated that laugh man....
(ryudo and team)
the distinction is actually super important to point out
I have to say it makes me really sad.
btw love the dialogue and voice acting
this was such an awesome game
die szenen mit melfice sind echt genial ohne ende ;)
YESS...Despair itself is the only true joy! :]
@CoquettiShi I do a try for the moment and I reached lv 70 now I will go on :)
I also got a shorter fight against Melfice ( lv 38) dunno why you always need so much time to beat him...
I think Melfice's laugh is quite alright and not annoying at all, actually. It's just one of those charms. A design choice. The music, sound and voice acting are top notch.

Melfice Vs Vergil...
...
dear god the AWESOME....
@RyudoXy I got that after finishing the DC version, most of the videos are wrong :( And they don't speak when they attack, only at spells and techniques.
One of the hardest boss fights in any game I've ever played.
One of the hardest boss in reality, you can't knock any senses into him.
I just dont understand something. At 4:30 why not drop the impact bomb on the incomming attack on melfice body to cancle it. At 5:03 the same with Maregs Beastfang cut or defend the attack from melfice sword. T_T why
Melfice?...Brother?...Can you hear me?...Do you listen still?
Ryudo's last line :'(
Grandia II was such a great fucking game. Really wish they'd put this on the psn.
Awesome Graphics, Awesome story, exciting game 10 of 10 !!
Oh Ryodo there was way too much ham in your voice over XD
Demon-man Melfice!!!
3:11 :" ooh you came"
when i played this on ps2 this was the most emotional part of the entire game and just might have been harder than the final boss
Cant wait to play this on switch !
whats the song named when the cutscene takes places when they talk to melfice?
the voice acting was pretty gud mang
Yes, what is the name of the piano song in the previous Melfice scene?
That bastard Melfice made me have to start my game over, JUST so I could grind more and be around his level. SONOVABITCH! This game was my favorite RPG back in the day.
Fun fact: the actor who gives Elena her voice is the same who voices the female Shepard in ME.
THE MORE YOU KNOW. :D
At that star crossed place by home
I sketched Melfice, now i try his sword, that's why i watch this. Melfice, 1 of my favorite characters (even if i can't play as him -_-)
10 people don't think that they can beat their big brother
The Demon Horde Slash ruled the Sky Dragon Slash ;)
so you think you can beat your big brother
PC version? Recognized it by the fast FMV magic effect's.
Great game! Not once I died . . .
if you guys want to share your ideas be free to do so i will be happy to hear from you :D
