After playing 3, I felt as though the series should stop there since they obviously can't do any better than the first two. The game was okay, but I had trouble staying motivated to play. Even extreme kept me playing despite the mediocre story. I eventually beat 3, but it took me awhile as I just couldn't get attached to it.
I wholly agree with that, Grandia 3 and Extreme just couldn't hold a candle compared to the first two in terms of story, that's how much I felt when I went through Grandia 3. It was just in set in a'too happy' story setting compared to the more 'twisted and sad' moments the first two had. I was also a fan of the romances in the Grandia series, but the Grandia 3 main pairings of Yuki x Alfina really didn't draw me in as much as the Justin x Feena, Mullen x Leen (Grandia 1) and Ryudo x Elena, Ryudo x Millenia and Roan x Tio (Grandia 2) pairings did.
