Grandia III Story and Official site

[Dave]

An official site for Grandia III has been opened by Square Enix. The site contains new information on the games storyline and setting, characters and the battle system. Also lots of new screenshots and gameplay movies to view. The two main characters are shown, Yuuki and Alfina, each has their own profile. Much about the story of Grandia III is revealed.

The main character is a 16 year old pilot named Yuuki, he secretly is building his own aircraft, to escape from his current boring life and travel through the skies, like the legendary King of Pilots. Whilst out searching for the parts for his aircraft, he meets Alfina, who is a High Priestess. Alfina is in charge of listening and relaying the words of the Holy Beast, which alot of people believe to be the world's one true deity, to the masses.

Three years earlier, her brother, Emerius, was the High Preist. However he mysteriously disappeared and his job was passed on to her. Emerius has now changed from being a kind and benevolent man into a cold and desolate man. He now lives with the believe that men should be ruled by men only, not deities. In an attempt to become a Leader of Men, he seeks the sword called Godkiller.

Alfina believes that someone else is involved and is controlling events in Emerius favour. She wishes to seek out her brother and prove that he is still the man that he once was. So Alfina sets out on a journey to do this, with Yuuki as her guardian.
