Game description: Grandia Xtreme enhances the Grandia series with faster-paced exploration and discovery. The combat system returns with improved special moves and smarter AI. Create new and stronger spells, each with unique effects, as you venture into an enchanting, yet dangerous world. With over 130 different types of monsters and eight elemental lands standing between you and victory, the future of the world looks desperate. Can you avert the disaster rising from the ancient ruins?
The fictional world of Grandia Xtreme is populated by three races: the militaristic and resourceful Humans; the pointy-eared Arcadians characterized by their magic; and the tribal, beast-like Hazmans. At the beginning of the game, the three races have co-existed in an uneasy alliance for several years, but a natural disaster known as the "Elemental Disorder" occurs and threatens them. In response, the Humans focus their Nortis Army into researching the cause of the disturbances. Representatives from the other races gather to help but tensions and distrust arise along with the possibility of the disasters having been created artificially
