    Yup. On psp you just jump in the menu with the home/Playstation button, and select Type 4 controls to reverse the layout between d-pad and analog. Putting L2-R2 function on the D-pad.

    Further than that you can customize your controls however you want.

    What are the L2-R2 functions? Zoom?

    In Grandia, all they do is change the compass function from Entrance to Exit.

    Or they have a 'Hold button' function to make the small hud of your characters display HP or MP in battle IIRC. Not really used at all considering how the info you need is almost redundantly displayed automatically when you're in the menu pulling up spells.

    Thanks! This will definitely help with the hand cramps caused by the game.

    This phrase sums up Christmas 1999 for me.

    This game is still a masterpiece compared to 99% of the crap being sold as JRPGs these days.

    I still can't stomach a Grandia 2 comparison though, it was such a watered down experience for me. Skies of Arcadia was more "Grandia" than it.

    I'd say it's better than FFVII in the ways that matter most. It was the Saturn's best RPG that was never localized. After Lunar TSS & Lunar EB, Grandia should have been on everyone's radar.

    1998 import review, likely the source of the FFVII-Killer idea:

    If this game was released in North America in 1998 & I had 'seen' it or played it, I would have bought a Saturn instead of a Playstation that year.
