After the last 3 days of work, your friends at ECHELON have come through again, with one of the best rips of the year. As you can obviously see, this one was split onto 2 CDs. All content is included in this perfect rip. Also take note that this release is in BIN/CUE and for the CD-Loader. So, reach into your closet, and grab out that CD-Loader that you probably haven't touched since our release of Maken X way back in October. Sorry, but this monster simply wont fit with selfboot code, and we would rather release it for the CD-Loader rather than not release it at all. Now i'm sure you're all wondering how this rip works split onto 2 CDs. Both CD's have the base files, which are graphics, audio, text, and all the other good stuff. What splits the CDs up is the FMV. CD1 contains half of the FMV, and CD2 contains half of the FMV. The time to swap in-game will not be told to you until it is too late, so be glad that you are reading this NFO. Here are exact details on when to swap: At the end of Valmar's Body, you will see an FMV with a spaceship lifting off and flying to Valmar's Moon. This is the last FMV sequence on CD1. You will then end up in Saint Heim Holy City, you must save your game in this city, then turn off your Dreamcast and swap to CD2. From here on, all FMV's will be on CD2. If you forgot to swap to CD2, all FMV's will say 'Insert DISC2 If You Want To See This FMV'. You can still continue playing with DISC1, but you will not get FMV after this point in the game unless you swap discs. Another thing you may be thinking. If the base files are the same on CD1 & CD2, why I can't just download CD1 and replace the FMV? You can, we are releasing an FMV addon for CD1 at the same time as this full 2 CD release. So if you want, you can download CD1 and the FMV addon, and master your own CD2 with any burning program. On a side note, all FMV and Audio were downsampled in this rip. Enjoy one of the best RPGs of the year, as well as an amazing rip that we have put a LOT of effort into over the last few days. - --- Game Features And Information --------------------------------> In Grandia II, Ryudo has been hired to protect a young priestess who must participate in a ceremony to halt the encroaching rebirth of Valmar, the God of Darkness.
