A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Grandia is one of my favorite games of all time. It captures the pure joy and excitement of adventure better than any game ever made.
Also one of my favorite battle systems. A great expansion of the early Game Arts system seen in the (also amazing) Lunar games.
Have you played Grandia 2? How do they compare?
I have - I've played all 3 Grandia games. The second is really good, and it refines the battle system in some nice ways, but it's a (slightly) smaller, more character driven story that loses a bit of the grand, somewhat naive, adventurous spirit that makes the first game so unique and satisfying.
There's a large number of people who prefer Grandia 2, and for good reason, but I prefer the characters and story of Grandia 1. If you haven't played either, I recommend playing both in order. Grandia 3 is a bit of a letdown in comparison, but I still really enjoyed it and think it gets a bit more hate than it deserves.
I've played G2. I see.
