　　The PC version of the collection will also feature widescreen support and customizable resolutions. The PC version of the first game will also get Steam cards and achievements and Gamepad support. The Grandia 2 Anniversary Collection for PC, which has been available since 2015, will be renamed to Grandia 2 HD Remaster.

　　The Grandia games were Sega's answer to PlayStation having a lock on the Final Fantasy series, and the first game drew favorable comparisons to games like Final Fantasy VIII.

　　"Grandia is every bit as worthwhile as Final Fantasy VIII, just in different ways," Peter Bartholow wrote in GameSpot's review. "While a more casual RPGer might opt for Final Fantasy VIII, as Sony's sad ad campaign admits, Grandia is a fantastic game for anyone looking for a lighthearted, truly satisfying adventure." In GameSpot's Grandia 2 review, Frank Provo called the game a "solid RPG, even if it isn't as deep or difficult as the original."
