Grandia II is the Bomb

..the "Impact Bomb" that is! Nyuk-nyuk.

1) Great voice acting
2) Witty/humorous script
3) Not-that-trite characterization
4) Lead character has a pet eagle
5) Monsters can be avoided visually on the field
6) Allies can cancel enemy attacks, and vice versa
7) Battling has oft-seamless FMV segues/mingling
8) A character uses TWO chakrams as weapons
9) Goomba-free!
10) Avoids series sophomore slump

But why must every RPG have a scene where the naive ally calls so-and-so Mr/Mrs. and that person takes offense and makes them knock it off? It's a title of respect, people!
