When the English language version is done well, I absolutely prefer it. The remaster uses the graphic and audio assets including the flawed English dub of the arguably inferior Playstation release.

Initially only available via digital distribution but eventually published physically on Switch by Limited Run Games in , the HD Remaster of Grandia had only one setting for locality — you could either play in Japanese or in English. Fans let them know fairly early on that they wanted the option to play with English text but spoken Japanese. A patch was later released that decoupled the dialogue and text options, however Sickhead games the developer that handled the port apparently never play-tested or gave any serious consideration to this mode because there are dialogue-only story sequences pretty pivotal ones, actually which they have not addressed by adding subtitles or dialog windows the way TrekkiesUnite did to the new Saturn localization.

Rather than using a smoothing filter which processes textures in real time, they claim to have actually replaced the texture files themselves. There is no option to revert to the original textures though the original versions of the textures do still seem to be present in the Steam version at least.

Personally I found the up-scaled textures to be tolerable, but much like the English language dub, largely inconsistent in quality. The HD remaster is presented in widescreen. The original FMV sequences were rendered in For most of them, Sickhead applied a blurred border that simulates additional material to the left and right to fill the frame, though some of the FMV sequences are fully and sharp enough to appear natively HD evidently Sickhead had access to at least some of the original assets , but there are a handful of sequences where, for whatever reason, the game uses still images of in-game areas and for these they just stretched the across the field.
