Concept art
Are these concept-art images copyrighted? -- Wapcaplet 02:17, 3 May 2004 (UTC)

What does SP stand for? Its the blue bar in the middle and its never used.--72.83.129.240 (talk) 17:02, 20 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Originating page lists no copyright, nor are there any copyrights shown on or embedded in the images as far as I can tell. Still though, if preferable, I could replace the character graphics by in-game screenshots that I'll make myself... :: DarkLordSeth 13:11, 3 May 2004 (UTC)

Well, just because there is no copyright stated does not mean the images are necessarily in the public domain or GFDL-licensed. Unless you make the image yourself, or have express permission from the copyright holder to use images on Wikipedia, use of copyrighted images is generally frowned-upon. Check out the image use policy for details. IMHO, it'd be better to use in-game screenshots, since those are usually considered fair use (see here). They are nice concept drawings, though - you may want to see about contacting the creator(s) for permission to use them here. See this page for tips on how to do that. Cheers! -- Wapcaplet 21:30, 3 May 2004 (UTC)


 * Copy that! I'd love to do this but uhm... The copyright owner's webpage is in Japanese. Even though I can find my way around based on sheer luck and slight hints of english on that site, I don't know if they'll read or reply to a request made in english. Then again, no pain, no gain! I'll comment the character graphics for the time being until I got a positive reply from Game Arts. And thank you for the templates and further info regarding screenshots. :) :: DarkLordSeth 23:18, 3 May 2004 (UTC)

Someone has re-added the pictures. I removed them again, since the copyright issue has yet to be resolved. --JiFish 19:47, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

Storyline inconsistencies
Please disregard the horrible storyline inconsistencies. I do not want to wrte down horrible spoilers for people who haven't yet played this ( imho, excellent ) game. DarkLordSeth 18:21, 3 May 2004 (UTC)

Inhibiting Glitches
Could someone please dig up some information on the "inhibiting glitches" mentioned in the first paragraph? I've played both the PC and PS2 version and I didn't see any. I would be nice if we could specify what these glitches are. --JiFish 19:49, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

I don't know about the PS2 version but with the pc port it does have a few bugs, when a player casts a spell most of the time in the background or replacing the characters onscreen an avi video file will play with the fire or "ice" etc spell images. The problem is that it will not continue the battle until playback of the movie has been completed, and some movie file like "Millenia's fallen wings attack" have redundant frame data at the end of the file which give the appearance of a system freeze as it runs for atleast two minutes more than it should. By editing the avi file and removing the excess frames you can fix one of the annoying bugs in the game yourself or you could insert your own video and have lord of the rings run for 9 hours each time certain attacks are selected.

Those bugs are all real. I've personally experienced the Millenia Battle bug. Izaak

I can't say anything about the PC version, but I never seen any Glitches in the PS2 version, and the "Millenia'a fallen wing attack" is my favorite and use it alot, I have never experience any glitches! Manc84 11:30, 29 December 2006

I have the ps2 version and i've not seen any glitches with milenia's attack.i've got a prob with zap coz sometimes my ps2 game freezes :((imagine not having done save)--85.73.80.25 21:29, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Where exactly does it say that Grandia II was to be the premier rpg for Dreamcast?

seiyū?
Do we really need to use a Japanese term for "voice actor" on an English language wiki? Not everyone is some huge Japanophile, and using this term could confuse regular English speakers.01:53, 2 September 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.226.117.104 (talk)

Apostrophes
No time to fix it at the moment, but all the possessive apostrophes (e.g. "Bob's") seem to be missing from the plot section. 109.157.73.146 (talk) 20:24, 19 July 2015 (UTC)
