Game description: Grandia III is the latest installment in the long-running Square Enix role-playing series. You play as Yuuki, a 16-year-old boy with aspirations of being a pilot. When you discover that a powerful adversary is bent on world domination, it is up to you and the members of your party to find and stop him. Grandia III adds new combos and options in battle, and it also streamlines the magic system from earlier versions.
Set in a fantasy world where technology has allowed man to fly in magic-powered aircraft, a boy named Yuki is determined to become a great pilot like his idol, the Sky Captain Schmidt. When he and his mother encounter a girl named Alfina who has the ability to communicate with the spiritual guardians of the world, they become involved in the plot to discover the secrets of the world's past and face an evil rogue guardian named Xorn. Despite the success of the previous games, there was no European release for Grandia III.
