It's OK, though I think the Lunar games are clearly superior. It does have a few nice innovations, like air and land enemies.
The backgrounds however are very confusing, and it's hard to tell apart what you can cross and what you can't.

Games on PSOne. Only Lunar Silver Star Story and Lunar Eternal Blue are worthwhile though, along with the first Grandia on PSOne and maybe Grandia 2 on Dreamcast, ignore all the later ones. Many of the best employees had left the studio by then, and I think recently the creator of Grandia tragically passed away at a young age.
Pier Solar is clearly an homage to these games from the Japanese studio Game Arts: a lighthearted adventure about a group of young friends about the coming of age of a young male hero.
Oh but they aren't relevant to pc gamers

I downloaded the Steam demo but with Wasteland 2, I haven't had a chance to try it.
I used to like JRPGs (not as much as Western ones, but still enjoyed them) but not ones made in the last 10-15 years. This looks like more of the older style though. I like that there is a demo to let me give it a shot though.

Actually Grandia 3 was really good and was one of the few jrpgs I have finished.

For the combat system probably. For the story and characters though, I really don't think so. These games progressively started to lose their charm.
Thanks for mentioning that. I wasn't aware that there's a demo.
It doesn't look like my type of RPG, but I'm gonna give it a quick try anyways.
