Long ago, the battle of light and darkness was held, pitting the god Granas against the demon Valmar. Though scars of the battle still mark the land, time has passed and the people of the world have built new civilizations and kingdoms to colonize the planet. The "Day of Darkness" will someday occur, heralding the resurrection of Valmar.
Ryudo is a "GeoHound", a mercenary available for hire, usually for slaying monsters and recovering goods. Working with a talking bird named Skye, who sites on Ryudo's shoulder, they will "do anything" if the price is right One day Ryudo receives a job from a branch of the Church of Granas, they ask Ryudo to become a bodyguard for a young priestess named Elena during a prayer ceremony. During the ceremony, strange events occur requiring Ryudo to escort Elena on a journey.
This release brings the Dreamcast's popular role-playing adventure to the PlayStation 2. Players take on the role of the hero Ryudo, who is charged with protecting the priestess Elena as she makes a long journey across many lands to perform an important ritual. Other characters join the quest along the way, each adding their personalities and special abilities to the party.
As in the Dreamcast version of the game, battle occurs through sequential, timed intervals in which each character and enemy takes action in turn. Like Final Fantasy, Phantasy Star, and several other successful Japanese role-playing series, Grandia II shares motifs and stylistic elements with it's 1999 PlayStation predecessor, but tells an all-new tale and is not a linear continuation of the original's storyline.

* Meet such friends as Millenia, Roen, and Maregg during your journey
* Get the princess to the Church of Granas where she can overcome the powers of an evil spirit and save the world
* Lead Ryudo through enemy battles and other events as he protects the Princess Elena
