Can Grandia II be enjoyed without playing I, or I afterwards?

[areyareadyherewego]

Or am I really doing myself a disservice not waiting for Grandia I fan translation for Saturn first..

it seems like its pretty close to done, and I've waited this long, but curious!

and no way I'm touching the Grandia port for Switch with a 10 foot pole, I hear its a bad port of the PS1 version which was already less than desirable to boot

I know I am scared of the PS1 port.

yes it can be played, the characters are different.
also, if you start the second chapter, prob you don't need anything else for a couple of months

[beanboy]

I believe you can. Yes!

I was one of team who translated grandia 2 in french, but for fun I built a hardmode english version come from anniversary PC edition. I import the main screen in HD for this edition.
If you like challenge please enjoy and tell me your feelings at now nobody finish it :
