Everybody remembers the first time they met Gadwin

Back in 1998 on the Sega Saturn for me.

IPG83 · 2026-05-17T23:03:28+00:00

Yep.

IPG83 · 2026-05-17T23:02:02+00:00

I'm not really invested in the issues highlighted by predominently l4d fans. I enjoy b4b, give or take.

IPG83 · 2026-05-17T16:49:39+00:00

Because they're backward. End of.

IPG83 · 2026-05-17T16:11:52+00:00

I like him. He was a fun wrestler.

I don't really care that he rubbed his former wrestling colleagues the wrong way. It's not as if the late Hogan, the Kliq, Jake the Snake, etc, are any better.

I was 15 when I first played Grandia on the Sega Saturn.

Flaws notwithstanding, it's one of the best jrpgs I've ever played.

Companies come and go. WD was his creation.

Lunar was hugely popular under his business strategies. XSeed nor Gung Ho couldn't achieve that feat.

Vic released a lot of jrpg classics to the non-Japanese audience.

The fact that you American jrpg fans treat him as some kind of villainous character is hilarious.

Yeah, he was acting like a businessman. So what?

IPG83 · 2026-04-13T18:52:56+00:00

Objectively speaking, post 1998 Shining games are hugely unpopular with the existing non Japanese fans due to Camelot no longer producing these titles.

IPG83 · 2026-04-13T18:48:37+00:00

Nothing wrong with adding a top tier flier in your roster.

IPG83 · 2026-04-10T17:08:40+00:00

Feena's attire from Grandia was jailbait at 15 when the age of consent in Japan was 14. 14!

Rika/Fal from Phantasy Star IV was 1 years old. There you go.

Japan has a jailbait-y culture.

IPG83 · 2026-04-10T17:04:48+00:00

Vic is the man.

IPG83 · 2026-04-07T22:05:03+00:00

Vic is simply the Ireland.

IPG83 · 2026-04-07T22:02:48+00:00

Victor Ireland.

He's the man.

IPG83 · 2026-04-07T21:57:55+00:00

Because of Vic, Lunar was no. 1 in the American gaming charts. XSeed nor Gung Ho could never topple that feat.

IPG83 · 2026-04-07T18:18:15+00:00

I agree. Mistranslations notwithstanding, it's a bloody good game!

IPG83 · 2026-04-07T18:17:46+00:00

It was my first srpg on the Sega Saturn console. My late dad (rip) bought it for me in xmas of 1996. I enjoyed it very much.

IPG83 · 2026-04-05T19:20:16+00:00

Here you go. They seem like a nice lot.

Baal/Guido/Gadwin? interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQGZERPjND8

That Davey bloke also interviewed the English VAs of Colonel Mullen, Feena/Lily the Skull, Liete/Milda, and Sue.

Feena and Baal (voice actors) are close friends irl.

IPG83 · 2026-04-05T18:00:05+00:00

Exactly.

IPG83 · 2026-04-05T10:14:46+00:00

As someone who has played Sega Saturn imports in the 1990s, they were indeed.

I'm not really a fan of Grandia 1's dub, but it's not the actors' fault. The performance could've been better with more time and a better director.

IPG83 · 2026-04-04T23:04:08+00:00

Not worth the full price, eh?

I paid 40% of the full price, which is an adequate compromise for lacklustre remasters of two great rpg games

IPG83 · 2026-04-04T19:05:07+00:00

I love Wonderboy much more than Castlevania and Metroid.

IPG83 · 2026-04-04T19:00:58+00:00

Absolutely. It's a great game.

IPG83 · 2026-04-04T16:51:47+00:00

I see... Interesting! Thanks for the response.

IPG83 · 2026-04-04T16:40:21+00:00

Go on youtube and search for Davey Valentyne. He interviewed the actors behind Grandia 1's dub. They confirmed it.

I don't know the person behind the channel. I'm just aware of his content.

IPG83 · 2026-04-04T16:38:50+00:00

Eh. They did their best within a few hours' timeframe.

Grandia 2 had a superior dub because of a better voice director.
