Grandia 2 begins with a banal struggle between good and evil. In the local cosmogony, Granas, the light, defeated and pushed back Valmar, the darkness. As a result, the world was able to live in peace for many years. As summarized above, the game begins with a perilous mission featuring the hero Ryudo, a Geohound, otherwise known as a mercenary, and his faithful companion Skye, a bird who’s never at a loss for words. They accept a mission as bodyguards for the Church of Granas to protect a young priestess, who goes by the name of Elena, called upon to conduct a dubious ceremony in  a suspicious-looking tower. Nothing goes according to plan, the ceremony goes awry, and all the priestesses present die except Elena, who is endowed with black wings similar to those worn by Valmar. Listening only to his courage and the mountain of gold that awaits him, Ryudo will lead the survivor of the tragedy to the altar of Pop Zera, the great leader of the religious order of Granas. Along the way, they come across a wide range of charismatic characters, some of whom become fellow travelers. We're thinking in particular of Mareg, an imposing warrior (who had a totally different look during the conceptual phase of the game, if we refer to the original sketches), of Tio and his angelic face (who was called Control Panel Tio or Ana in his early days), of Roan the boy with a thousand secrets, all of which will endear us to the heroes of Grandia 2. The storyline is full of surprises, especially in the final hours when the revelations are explosive!
