Grandia is a role-playing video game, developed by Game Arts
and published by Entertainment Software Publishing for the Sega Saturn console
as the first game in their Grandia series. Released in Japan in 1997, the game
was ported to the PlayStation in 1999, with an English version of the game
appearing on the platform in North America in the following September by Sony
Computer Entertainment, and in Europe in 2000 by Ubisoft. The game was produced
by much of the same staff who worked on the company's previous role-playing
endeavor, the Lunar series, including producer Yoichi Miyagi and composer
Noriyuki Iwadare.
